1+ hour, 3+ min ago (317+ words) SPOILER WARNING! A fresh rumor making the rounds is raising eyebrows among long-time Star Wars fans. A reported synopsis for The Mandalorian and Grogu spotted in a pre-release German Blue-Ray announcement hints that the upcoming film may pull Grogu toward something ancient from the franchise's extended lore. It's the kind of tease that instantly lights up speculation threads. According to the circulated description, Din Djarin and Grogu set out to track down surviving Imperial remnants. Their search leads them to a forgotten facility on a world called Khar'Zuun, where Grogu encounters an artifact said to amplify his Force abilities. Even as a rumor, that detail has fans scrambling over theories like Jawas swarming junked droids. And fans aren't shy about imagining what this could mean. Some are already picturing Grogu tapping into abilities hinted at since season one, while others…...

Before the Russos came back to the Marvel fold, though, Spider-Man: Brand New Day director Destin Daniel Cretton was supposed to direct Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, a project which died thanks to Kang star Jonathan Majors being convicted of assault and harassment. Now, a scooper is reporting that Marvel wants Cretton to direct the next Avengers movie after Secret Wars, which would mean the studio is gambling everything on one of its rising talents.

7+ hour, 33+ min ago (268+ words) Throughout its seven seasons, The Clone Wars visits just about every important corner of a galaxy far, far away, handing over the spotlight to the Republic's fighting force, as well as the threats that oppose it. However, the acclaimed series doesn't get to take every swing it wants. Here are all nine of the unfinished and abandoned The Clone Wars stories. The Legends continuity is home to plenty of terrifying creatures, including the Yuuzhan Vong, a race of beings immune to the Force. Lucasfilm wanted to bring them into canon in The Clone Wars by having a single member of the species commit an abduction. The Republic scrambles to get answers, but it knows very little about the new threat. Yoda reveals during'Revenge of the Sith'that he's a friend of the Wookiees, but doesn't explain the background of his statement....

10+ hour, 26+ min ago (533+ words) | December 7, 2025 | By: Anthony Pascale 0 comments so far Our successes were becoming ridiculously expected. There was a sense we could do no wrong. But when we first thought of making a movie out of the Star Trek series, which had ended ten years previously and had a relatively small audience, no one in Hollywood could believe that such great geniuses would try to take a middling, long-ago-canceled TV series and turn it into an actual movie. Our self-described "shiny-ass accountant," Art Barron, Paramount's chief financial officer, was obsessed with resurrecting Star Trek. Ever since I arrived at Paramount [in 1974], every once in a while, shyly, given his purely financial position, Art would say to us, "We ought to do something with Star Trek." And every time he brought it up, we ignored him. We thought it'd be ridiculous to make a…...

Before the dark times, before the Disney acquisition. Yes, LucasArts developed some of the best games in the Star Wars franchise, but Disney ultimately scrapped it, creating a new entity called Lucasfilm Games. To be fair, under the new company, Electronic Arts and Disney Interactive Studios have created some fantastic games, but they're not in the LucasArts library. That leaves the Jedi Survivor and Fallen Order games out, though many…...

14+ hour, 3+ min ago (483+ words) One of the most fun parts of science fiction is that it often predicts the distant future. Many science fiction movies predict new technology and its effects on human society, whether those are dystopian, like the routine brainwashing via propaganda of A Clockwork Orange or fun new methods of transport, such as the hoverboards everyone had in Back to the Future. Some classic science fiction movies made sweeping predictions for the future. In some cases, those predictions never came to pass, but in others, the movies were strikingly on point. Predictions about AI are especially relevant in the post-ChatGPT age, but there are also many other reasons why some science fiction movies were ahead of their time. A Clockwork Orange is one of the most frequently banned science fiction movies in recent years because of the story's violence. Although the…...
