Image via LucasFilm/Disney Andor is currently filming its hotly anticipated second season in the U.K. and we can’t wait to see it in 2024. Like the first season, this will consist of twelve episodes that’ll take us right up to where we first met Cassian back in Rogue One. The events of that movie conclude his story in an explosive fashion, so what’s next? Well, Andor was so successful that fans are looking back to Rogue One to see which other characters could be expanded upon, and they’ve picked a fine pair:…

via Lucasfilm In 1999, Star Wars returned to cinemas, taking fans from grimy locations and civil war to gleaming metal and trade negotiations. While the start of the prequel trilogy has its merits and defenders today, many still do not grasp the meaning of its central dispute. Reddit is burning up with discourse about the franchise rookie’s confusion over why the Trade Federation had it out for the planet of Jar Jar Binks and the funky bunch.

via Warner Bros. Some fans of Zack Snyder’s vision of superhero cinema seem pretty enthusiastic about having four different movies in 2023 to root against under new leadership at DC Studios. Late last year, filmmaker James Gunn and producer Peter Safran were named as co-heads of DC Studios.

As of this story’s filing, the above post on the official subreddit for the franchise is burning up with more than 200 comments. The above image comes from the Star Wars: Smuggler’s Guide official reference book published in…

The Empire’s expendable front line, Stormtroopers appear in pretty much every Star Wars offering out there, and people took notice of their terrible aim years ago. Through dozens of releases, spread across decades, audiences have watched countless Stormtroopers shoot wildly near — but never directly at — the various protagonists of the Star Wars world. Now, one viewer thinks they have an explanation. Rather than join the masses, who simply assume…

Image via Marvel Studios A character’s entrance tells you a lot about them: it is how we form our first impression of them and often sets the tone for that character from thereon. Marvel films have had a ton of very cool entrances for their superheroes because if anyone knows how to make an entrance, it’s them. Now fans are discussing who did it best. Superhero films are definitely up there in terms of movie genres that allow for such cool entrances, whether its an hero flipping their way onto the screen,…

Image via Disney Plus One day, the planets will align, and the birds will sing as the Marvel Cinematic Universe‘s longest-awaited prophecy comes true; indeed, at some point, we will in fact be introduced to Kevin Feige’s iteration of the X-Men, and just how one of the world’s pop culture mega giants will handle the politically complex superhero team is anyone’s guess.
