I Only Want to Eat Millennium Falcon Waffles For the Rest of My Life

Sometime in the past three or four years there was a breakthrough in waffle-making technology that paved the way for simple appliances that can churn out the malty treats in endless novelty shapes.

Speaking to USA Today, Daisy Ridley confirmed this shocking—shocking—news, because when you’re talking to…

Hera Syndulla May Be One of the Best Star Wars Characters Ever

At one time Scarif was a beautiful place that served as a well-protected base for the Galactic Empire. Well, the rebels on a ship code-named “Rogue One” screwed that up, coupled with a little thing called “the Death Star.” But now, this new poster lets you remember Scarif in its better days Bottleneck Gallery has…

Temple of Doom‘s Sacrifice Scene Is So Much Creepier With Lego Ewoks

In hindsight, Return of the Jedi’s Ewok Village scenes have a lot in common with Temple of Doom’s sequences with Mola Ram. After all, both are about human sacrifice, it’s just that one happens to be perpetuated by sentient teddy bears. Which is why a mashup of both, held together by the glue that binds…

Congratulations to EA for Posting the Most Hated Comment in Reddit History

While Reddit sometimes overstates its value as a space for authentic conversations online, the massive community-driven website has served as a kind of town hall where everyone from everyone from Elon Musk and Barack Obama to a dildo manufacturer have responded to questions from completely un-vetted strangers. Sometimes it goes well. For Electronic Arts, the…

In Its Last Season, Star Wars: Rebels Has Found What It’s Been Missing: Focus

Star Wars: Rebels has been a good show for almost its entire runtime. From the pilot, when exiled Jedi Kanan first pulls out his lightsaber to Ezra’s amazement, the show has had a spark of something excellent. But, often, it failed to delivery, offering periods of uneven or just plain bad episodes. But finally, as…

Disney Will Bring an All-New Marvel Show to Its Streaming Service in 2019

Our minds are still blown by today’s news that a brand-new Star Wars trilogy is in the works—as well as a live-action Star Wars TV show. But the latter won’t be the only lure when Disney rolls out its subscription streaming service in 2019. There’ll also be an exclusive new Marvel show. Details are understandably…

Rian Johnson Is Developing a New Trilogy of Star Wars Movies

When Colin Trevorrow left Star Wars: Episode IX, fans wondered if Last Jedi director Rian Johnson would be taking his place. He didn’t, but that’s apparently because instead he’s working on three new Star Wars movies that are wilder than anyone could have possibly imagined. The news was announced by Disney CEO Bob Iger during…

Johnny Depp Probably Won’t Be Winning Any Star Wars Trivia Contests

It’s not surprising to hear that Johnny Depp probably isn’t a huge Star Wars fan. What is surprising, though, is the incident which makes us reach that likely conclusion. Depp is just one of many stars in Kenneth Branagh’s upcoming film Murder on the Orient Express. Among his co-stars is Daisy Ridley, who you may…

Jar Jar Binks’ Actor Is Very Happy With His Character’s Canonically Miserable Fate

Earlier this year in Chuck Wendig’s novel Aftermath, we learned the incredibly depressing story of what happened to Jar Jar Binks after the Star Wars prequels. It was perhaps a fitting fate for a character so widely loathed, but Jar Jar actor Ahmed Best loves it—and actually wanted it to be even darker. Best has…
