A debate over the aesthetics of the film broke out in the r/StarWars subreddit when a disgruntled user complained about Rey’s weapon of choice. The view seems somewhat oblivious to the weapon’s history. Lest we forget, Anakin Skywalker made the lightsaber. It was part of his metamorphosis from Jedi…

So, he turned to his future Star Wars co-star, hoping for some direction, only to get some very unhelpful advice.  The star in…

Even dead, Luke Skywalker keeps finding his way back into Star Wars. It happened first in 2019's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker when the deceased Jedi Master returned as a Force Ghost. In 2020, it happened again, this time as a younger, de-aged, CGI version on The Mandalorian. Finally, in 2022, Skywalker returned a third time, the most extensive yet, as that de-aged version on The Book of Boba Fett.‘I Started a Yoda Fan Club’“It is unusual to see yourself like that,” actor Mark Hamill told Esquire about seeing a younger…

The pair is set to appear in an adaptation of Stephen King’s The Life of Chuck, which will be helmed by The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass director Mike Flanagan.

With notoriously bad lines such as “somehow Palpatine returned” and the nonsensical plot coupled with the general lack of effort that went into its making, most would agree that the final film of the sequel trilogy was a major letdown. Presumably, those that did enjoy it…
