Variety Magazine writer Michael Schneider posed an interesting question: Can the Baby Yoda, or artificial characters in general, compete for awards? The initial answer is no, since both the Golden Globes and the Screen Actor's Guild have said there isn't an award for non-human characters in film. A
Two weeks and two days. That's all that separates us from the epic conclusion of a Star Wars saga that began some forty-two years ago. When Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hits theaters, Daisy Ridley (Rey) will be front and center. She's already featured prominently in nearly every film promo to
Aside from Rian Johnson, no one person associated with Star Wars has had a target painted on them as big as the one on Kathleen Kennedy. The beleaguered Lucasfilm president's run has been nothing if not tempestuous. Under her watch, Star Wars relaunched with the blockbuster first installment of the
We got our first, live-action introduction to Mandalorian armor when Boba Fett appeared on screen in The Empire Strikes Back. The faceless, helmeted, battle-worn soldier became an instant fan favorite. But, as we'd come to learn, neither Boba, nor Jango from whom he was cloned, were actually born
Because there apparently hasn't been enough controversy in Star Wars the last few years, Disney decided to ramp it up with the launch of its streaming service, Disney+. What now, you ask? I almost feel ashamed on behalf of Disney and Lucasfilm to say, but… They've changed the cantina scene
Star Wars fans will nitpick anything. It's one of the worst things about the fandom, and often times one of the most prevalent. Even George Lucas himself nitpicked his own work. If he hadn't, we'd never have seen the original trilogy Special Editions. But… What if all you can do is nitpick
I usually run fast and far from Facebook ads, especially the "sponsored" ones. Most times, it's for second-rate junk that looks really cool, but I also don't really need it either. Then, a few days ago, I came across one from a company in Sweden called Grimfrost. The subtitle on their ad said
Star Wars is secretive when in production. So much that even during auditions, the actors don't know they're auditioning for a Star Wars product. Such is the case of Cameron Monaghan. When he auditioned for the role of Cal Kestis in the upcoming Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, he thought he was
We've had haunted house movies. Sure, but have we had a haunted van movie? That's what Passenger amounts to at its most distilled form. This is a horror movie about a demonic force (the opposite of Saint Christopher) that has been chasing and killing travelers for hundreds of years. Basically, the
Though marital arts action cinema is vast and varied, it is rare for one to elevate the genre and push it forward. There have been few recently - The Raid comes to mind, and while not technically "martial arts" I'd argue John Wick counts - that feel as if something new and special is happening.
Daemons of the Shadow Realm jumps right into some bloody action with a new second cours in Ep. 13 "Daikyo and Shokyo". And just two weeks after the conclusion of the first cours to boot. We certainly didn't have long to wait before we see the bloody conclusion to the action-packed ending of Ep. 12.
