We’re knights of the round table, we dance whenever we’re able! While I still maintain that Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the greatest King Arthur movie ever made, I’m kind of keen to see what Guy Ritchie’s Arthurian vision looks like. There’s a lot riding on this flick, as it’ll set up a whole new shared universe of …
So you may have heard: The Star Wars Expanded Universe is coming back soon.

Thus reads the alarmingly truthful blurb on the poster for Roar, a movie the likes of which the world had never seen before and probably never will again. I mentioned Roar in an edition of Extras earlier in the week, but for those of …
When it was made official last year that the existing Star Wars Expanded Universe was essentially being scrapped, millions of fans around the world – including me – did their best impersonation of a Special Edition Darth Vader and howled out a woeful “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”. For decades, before the EU was relegated to the non-canon Star Wars Legends banner i.e. glorified …
