There's been a lot of talk about what role Luke Skywalker will play in Star Wars: Episode IX. Logic dictates it will be in one of two ways: flashback, or as a Force ghost. (Personally, my money is on us seeing both.) There's also been speculation about Darth Vader returning as well. And, of
Star Wars Rebels entertained and enthralled us for four seasons. Sure, fans were initially upset at The Clone Wars' cancellation in favor of the new, Rebellion-era animated series. Dave Filoni's master story telling and character development, however, quickly erased much of fans' displeasure. It's
In The Force Awakens, Rey informs Kylo Ren she's learned his deepest fear. "You're afraid… that you'll never be as strong as Darth Vader!" That one line reminded us again of the long-standing debate over which Sith Lord was the most powerful in Star Wars. Was it Vader? Sidious? Plagueis? Or some
One thing is certain: if Dave Filoni ever decides to stop producing Star Wars, he'll have no problem making a living selling his doodles. [Writer's Note to Dave Filoni: PLEASE DO NOT EVER STOP PRODUCING STAR WARS.] The man responsible for Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels is also an
R2-D2, though he never speaks a word, is one of the most recognizable Star Wars characters there is. Fans were saddened when Jimmy Vee, the current Artoo actor, finished filming for Star Wars: Episode IX. Why? That likely means the end of Artoo on film. And let's face it; the diminutive astromech
The Star Wars prequel trilogy did much more than simply provide background on our original trilogy favorites in Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda. Yes, the prequels were (are) much-maligned. Nevertheless, the films did add a plethora of new Jedi characters to Star Wars lore. They introduced us to characters
As a Generation X Star Wars fan, reflecting back on the franchise sometimes makes me acutely aware of my age. Now that the next generation of fans is starting to hit significant milestones with its fandom? I feel downright old. Think about this: The theatrical release of Star Wars: The Clone Wars
One thing that most fans can agree on is the fact that the Star Wars prequels were chocked full of interesting characters. We got to see younger versions of fan favorites (Obi-Wan, Yoda, Jabba the Hutt), while also meeting new characters of Star Wars lore (Padme, for one.) However, there were
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.
