If, like many MANY Star Wars fans, you sat through the ENTIRE episode of Good Morning America this morning, chances are you’re kind of disappointed in the big reveal.  Unless you REALLY like raising money for charity, which many Star Wars fans do. Yesterday, the morning show (I’m a Westcoaster) tweeted about some big giant Star Wars […]

Always a favorite at any CCI event, we bring you the 16th annual Starship Smackdown live from WonderCon 2017.

Twisted Toonz has become a convention tradition. A group of well known voice actors gather to read scripts in the characters they’ve made famous. The amazingly talented Troy Baker, Jim Cummings, Jess Harnell, Maurice LaMarche, Tress MacNeille and Rob Paulsen read a highly abridged “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi” script in various characters at the […]

Jon Favreau’s The Lion King is getting closer to having a full cast!  The director/writer/actor’s newest Disney animated classic turned live action adaptation just got two big names announced today, and they both have Star Wars tie ins.

Earlier this week news was emerging that seemed to imply that Disney and LucasFilm has been in negotiations with the family of Carrie Fisher regarding the possible future use of her likeness. Now it seems that things have gotten to a point that LucasFilm felt the need to step in and make a public statement via starwars.com

It comes as no real shock that Rogue One continues to dominate the holiday season box office. With a midweek boost in response to the recent passing of Carrie Fisher, the Star Wars Expanded Universe film has racked up another $153 million at the domestic box office (its total worldwide take is nearing $700 million […]

Rogue One’s use of the character of Grand Moff Tarkin, as played by Peter Cushing is an impressive next step in the use of CGI to allow filmmakers to be able to utilize actors who have either passed away, or need to be shown at a far younger age. In Cushing’s case, he had died back in ’94, which left filmmakers with only a few options: not use the character at all, to recast, or to utilize special effects to see how far through the uncanny valley the industry has progressed.

There are special snowflakes out there who will take ANY talk about Rogue One: A Star Wars Story as spoilers, so consider this your first warning that I will be talking about things that happen in the film. If you know your Star Wars, nothing in Rogue One will come as a shock, a surprise, or a spoiler. […]

TL;DR: Let’s be really clear – more than anything else, Rogue One is a PG-13 sci-fi war movie. Sure, it’s not Saving Private Ryan level, but if you were to cut out some of Ryan’s flying limbs, guts, and blood – it’s not entirely that far off. It’s definitely still in the Star Wars Universe – […]

In celebration of it once again being Star Wars week, we wanted to pull together a selection of some of our favorite SW cosplay […]
