While Rogue One and Episode IX may have stolen the limelight at Disney’s D23 Expo this weekend, they weren’t the only huge pieces of Star Wars news that dropped in the last few days though. Following on from that huge uncharacteristic info dump from writer/director JJ Abrams for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Entertainment Weekly managed to get Lucasfilm President …
If you weren’t a fan of Tim Story’s campy-bad 2005 Fantastic Four film and its somehow even more inferior 2007 sequel, then there’s a lot to like in the newly rebooted Fantastic Four.

Out of the 3 major comic book movies being released in 2015, the one that I’m actually most eager to see is Fox’s new Fantastic Four reboot.

What was even more surprising though, is that neither Edwards nor Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy then made any …
When Disney wiped the slate clean of the Star Wars expanded universe after they announced their ambitious movie plans, essentially resetting decades-worth of canon to just the original trilogy and… those other ones, they also cancelled the long-running and popular Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series (Ahsoka!); which itself ended up in a sort of canon-limbo (Ahsoka?). That was …
It’s possible to see several things from space: Our effect on the planet, parts of South Africa currently experiencing load-shedding and my excitement for Star Wars: Rebels making a return to the small screen. With the first season done and dusted, the show is ready to kick it into a high gear. No more establishing boundaries, rules or scenarios, as …
