Image via Lucasfilm The Jedi in the Star Wars films are depicted as being near mythic at times, and it feels as if we cannot always know all there is to know about them. With each new film, a new ability is brought to the surface, but now fans are wondering what happened to one specific power that was displayed and seemingly never seen again. George Lucas’ Jedi are individuals that can feel and use the Force and choose to use that ability to bring about order and justice to the universe. Though only introduced…

Image via Blumhouse Productions Remember back in the early 2010s when Paranormal Activity was still all the rage among the general public, resulting in wave after wave of found footage horror films getting shoved down the throats of audiences while The Blair Witch Project turned its nose up at our dastardly fickle essences? Well, that was a decade ago, and now that superhero films have taken the popular spotlight, now seems appropriate to pour one out for the found footage subgenre, which proved that even the…

On Saturday — two days after a grand jury indicted former President Trump, securing his place in history as the first former U.S. president to face criminal charges — a small group of supporters gathered in Orange County to protest the indictment.During the gathering near the Huntington Beach Pier on Saturday afternoon, the group of roughly 40 people flew “Make America Great Again” flags and chanted “God bless Trump!” At one point, two demonstrators were hit on their heads with skateboards during a clash.…

via Warner Bros. There’s a time and a place to criticize a certain subset of fans who claim to be supporters of the very same franchise you play a major role in, but for Zachary Levi, the day after Shazam! Fury of the Gods cratered at the box office was probably the worst imaginable moment. Having fell spectacularly short of even the most optimistic of projections, there’s no chance the sequel will come within a whisker of matching its predecessor’s $366 million at the box office. At this rate, it’ll be lucky to…

Advocacy groups that led the charge for Gigi Sohn, President Biden’s nominee to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), slammed Democrats over their failure to confirm her, leaving the agency with a 2-2 partisan split.  Sohn announced Tuesday that she asked Biden to withdraw her nomination after facing “unrelenting, dishonest and cruel attacks” on her character and career, ending a two-year battle over her bid.  Republican senators had already united in opposition to Sohn, citing her personal political…

Image via Marvel Studios The Multiverse Saga is quickly proving to be the Marvel Cinematic Universe‘s greatest asset and most egregious problem. Especially after the lukewarm-at-best release of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, everything after Avengers: Endgame has felt like one step forward and two steps back for the media giant. And the fandom certainly hasn’t been quiet about it. It seems like every theoretical solution to Marvel’s problems has been shouted into one of the internet’s many corners, and that…

via Lucasfilm Order 66 proved the Jedi would have been off wearing armor, but now have fans suggested a very good reason for us never seeing them don protective gear in any Star Wars media. In the Star Wars subreddit, one fan asked why the Jedi never wore any armor like the imperials do. It’s a valid question, it would give them some much-needed protection on the battlefield. Whilst some fans gave genuine, in-universe reasons for why they would choose not to wear armor, like the fact that it restricts movement…

All eyes are on the Crypto now, as 2023 projections are made after price surges in January and Government Regulation announcements. Though it was initially a good month for many of the tokens in the top 100 as they either maintained or increased in value, worries have been expressed based on what these regulations could mean moving forward. Especially in the case of Bitcoin, which sits at the top of the market despite its erratic behaviour, which is the main object of scrutinisation. Regardless of that, it seems as…

Lucasfilm Whether it’s Qui-Gon’s Force ghost, Luke Skywalker saving the day, or Darth Vader causing a little trouble — our favorite galaxy far, far away seems to have been overrun by bits of fan service. However you slice it, for better or worse, Star Wars has become incredibly self-referential. Thankfully the folks at Lucasfilm tend to treat these moments with a healthy bit of reverence, and barring a few missteps — we can’t complain. Now, as we prepare for the upcoming third season of The Mandalorian, Star…

via Lucasfilm “I don’t like sand. It’s coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft, and smooth.” This bit of dialogue is about as infamous as any our favorite galaxy far, far away has ever seen, and let’s be honest — it ain’t Shakespeare. Uttered by Anakin Skywalker in Attack of the Clones, for more than two decades, Star Wars fans have been collectively palming their foreheads at this one. It’s true that The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge…
