Star Wars: The Last Jedi has certainly earned its fair share of criticism. Rightfully so, on many counts, but one actor’s experience with the film was far from deserved. Kelly Marie Tran, who portrayed the character of Rose Tico, found herself the target of sexists and racists because of her casting. She eventually left social […]
On Monday we learned that Game of Thrones star Indira Varma has joined the cast of the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi Star Wars spin-off series. Ewan McGregor (Kenobi) and Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader) will reprise their respective roles in the show…. Leaving the question of who Varma will portray. It’s certainly possible she’ll play a […]
Okay, let’s get a couple of things out of the way early: Lucasfilm no longer employs Gina Carano. Ergo, she will not appear in the Star Wars: Rangers of the New Republic series in which she was expected to star. So yes, her departure will affect the series. But a new rumor about who will […]
Way back in May of 2019 That Hashtag Show exclusively broke the news that Colin Farrell and Tye Sheridan would headline the new, dystopian thriller Voyagers. Today Lionsgate released the poster and first look trailer for the upcoming film. By the looks of things, we’re going to be in for one thrill of a ride. […]
Every day now it seems that we take another step closer to making science fiction truth in fact. Within weeks, possibly days, a human-built aerial vehicle will take flight over the surface of another planet for the first time in human history. When it does, Ingenuity (the Perseverance rover’s helicopter drone) will usher in a […]
Yesterday Disney and Lucasfilm announced that The Bad Batch, the animated sequel series to The Clone Wars, will debut on Star Wars Day. Unfamiliar with the elite squad of clones? You can learn about them in the teaser trailer for final season of The Clone Wars, below. The “defective clones with desirable mutations” are also […]
The Last Jedi hit theaters in December of 2017. When it did, it instantly became the most controversial and divisive entry into the entire Star Wars saga of films. Its effect on the Lucasfilm franchise can’t be understated. Don’t believe me? Try asking fans what they think about the prospect of Rian Johnson returning to […]
[SPOILER-FREE REVIEW] Yrica Quell. Nath Tensent. Chass na Chadic. Wyl Lark. Kairos. Together they embody a rag-tag bunch of reluctant heroes of the New Republic. Individually, however, they represent so much more. That’s never more on display than it is in Victory’s Price, the exciting conclusion to Alexander Freed’s Alphabet Squadron trilogy of novels. Victory […]
[EDITORIAL] Cancel Culture in its most basic form is nothing new. Wikipedia gives a great definition of the phenomenon, defining it as a type “of ostracism in which someone is thrust out of social or professional circles – either online on social media, in the real world, or both.” Narrowing that definition, dictionary.com describes it […]
USA Today correspondent Saria Wilson certainly has been busy talking to Star Wars alumni recently. First she spoke with The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson. According to Wilson, Johnson confirmed that yes, his Star Wars trilogy will still (eventually) happen. More recently she had a conversation with sequel trilogy star Daisy Ridley. We’re presuming the […]
