No more needs to be said. Things to note: Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher all got top billing over the new stars. As did Adam Driver. Crazy. Gwendoline Christine isn’t even billed. Our first look at Maz Kanata (Lupita Nyong’O)!! No Luke… Is that another fucking Death Star?! And here it is in […]
!!!! !!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT’S TIME! Forget that anniversary dinner. The cat can probably live another day without food. And did you REALLY need to go to your kid’s baseball game, anyway? No, you don’t: what you’re gonna be doing instead is watching the brand new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens! Two days ago, […]
As the hype continues to grow for Star Wars: The Force Awakens in December, both fans and Lucasfilm are slowly diverting some attention over to Episode VIII, coming in May 2017. We know Benicio del Toro will play a villain, the movie is casting for a female lead and has recently returned to Skellig Michael […]
Holy shit. Back in 2012 when Disney bought Lucasfilm for a gazillion dollars and announced that more Star Wars movies were on the way, one of the many questions on fans’ lips was whether they would re-release the theatrical cuts of the Original Trilogy. Everybody knows that they’re all but unavailable, thanks to George Lucas’ […]
“You see the echo of where all is gonna go. It’s like poetry, they rhyme.” In recent years, there have been a lot of people who have tried to make sense of the Star Wars Prequels in a positive way. Essays both visual and textual have been released, comparison pieces, analysis’ – you name it. […]
No, it won’t have a samey visual colour pallette and feel like the by-product of a movie machine – it’s gonna have a post-credits scene! Well, maybe. That’s the “hot” rumour from Schmoes Know, however it won’t be something like Kylo Ren’s fist punching through a pile of rubble, or Luke, Han and Leia eating […]
After that, uh, lengthy break, full episodes of your favorite podcast have returned! We apologize in advance because this is what folks who enjoy television might call “filler”. There have been no good movies out the past couple of weeks, so instead we review some of our favorite TV shows, including Rick and Morty, Mr. Robot, […]
Happy Force Friday! A massive deal was made about the release of all the fancy new toys for Star Wars: The Force Awakens which officially go on sale today, as well as their unveiling over the past day or so (remote-controlled BB-8!!!). However, what most people are forgetting is that this isn’t just a day […]
I think we’ve found a new #1 Christmas gift. Sometimes when it comes to popular movies, its merchandising can be an absolute no-brainer. There are characters or situations which are just begging to be turned into the next cool toy. One such character is BB-8, the cute little ball droid who I’m pretty sure is […]
One of the biggest complaints about Star Wars has always been its lack of female and ethnic characters; there were, like, two women in the Original Trilogy (Leia and Mon Mothma) and even less in the Prequels (pretty much just Padme), with only one black actor in either trilogy as well (Mace Windu and Lando). […]
Everybody knows that Star Wars: The Force Awakens is gonna make a billion truckloads of $100m bills. I mean, it would be more of a shock if it bombs completely; its success is all but a complete guarantee, and Jurassic World should be happy with its #3 billing on the highest-grossing movies list while it […]
There seems to be a constant stream of news for Star Wars: The Force Awakens these days (not that we mind), and that continues with a brand new teaser revealed on their official Instagram account. Well, it’s fifteen seconds long. That doesn’t mean it isn’t hype as fuck. Disney have unfortunately pulled a bunch of […]
Ah. The truth is out. Ever since it was recently revealed that the mysterious villain of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Kylo Ren, is a member of the ‘Knights of Ren’ and that that isn’t his birth name, fans have been scrambling to come up with a credible theory for who the hell he is […]
Welcome one and all to Fanboy Round-Up – one of those lazy excuses for an article when you don’t have anything else to write about. Have you been especially busy this week and haven’t had time to check out all the latest and greatest geek news? Well, that sucks, but fret not; it’s all here! […]
Tired of Star Wars news yet? No? Good. Earlier today at Disney’s D23 Expo, their very own convention, the studio broke a ton of exciting Marvel and Lucasfilm news as well as showing off a bunch of clips and art from their own live-action slate. It was an action-packed panel, and as well as showing […]
Going on right now at the D23 Expo, Disney’s very own special convention, is the panel which pretty much everybody is most excited for: ‘Worlds, Galaxies and Universes: Live Action at the Walt Disney Studios,’ the panel which is all about Disney’s own live-action output and the stuff people actually care about, Marvel and Star […]
It’s hard to create memorable Star Wars villains. Darth Vader is undoubtedly one of the greatest and most recognisable villains in modern mythology, as are the Stormtroopers. Everything about him is iconic; the suit, the demeanor, the breathing pattern. He is the definition of lightning in a bottle – you can’t ever create a villain […]
For around two years, news on Star Wars: The Force Awakens was so scarce that entire fandoms were reportedly driven insane. This year the movie is finally being released, and the past few months have been a non-stop hype train. Spoilers and rumours have leaked continuously, we got an awesome new trailer at Star Wars […]
It seems we’re getting a new, crazy Star Wars rumour every few days. While this comes from a more credible source than most, it’s still kinda weird. El Mayimbe of Heroic Hollywood popped up on the YouTube show Meet the Movie Press on Friday and revealed a little detail about the upcoming Anthology movie, Star […]
You’d be hard-pressed to find a Star Wars fan who loves the Prequels. They certainly exist – trust me – however they’re so few and far between that you could be mistaken into thinking they’re unanimously hated. It wouldn’t be surprising; their incredibly poor writing, direction, acting and just about everything renders them unwatchable for […]
