If you've been reading the latest official canonical Darth Vader comic book, you know it's wild. You know that Darth Vader (started in 2020) filled a gap in time when we didn't really know what was going down with Darth Vader between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. What we've learned so far changed the way we saw the relationship between Vader and The Emperor. In Darth Vader 10 (release date February 10, 2021), an epic clash is about to take place. This is your one and only SPOILER ALERT if you've not already read these comics.

The Matrix has become one of the most iconic films in recent pop culture history, influencing trends and idioms long after the franchise seemingly ended, from the now common bullet time effect to red and blue pills (that are admittedly far older than The Matrix). It has almost been two decades since the last film, however, and while it closed that chapter in the trilogy, it still left some room to pick things up again. That time might soon be upon us and, presuming this leak about the fourth film's title is correct, it's going to try to squeeze a bit more out of the franchise while there are still people around who know it by heart.

Today a tiny hidden message in Star Wars: The Last Jedi was revealed. Or resurfaced, is more like it. Written on a bomb in the sequence that initiates the first conflict in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, is a bit of text.

A new Star Wars biography-style book is coming with the name Skywalker: A Family At War. This book will be legit canon, official canonical material, meaning it only uses and expands upon Star Wars stories that are verifiably "true" in the current Star Wars universe.

This week Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal answered a few questions about the future of Star Wars. Given the tail end of the Mandalorian Season 2, questions about the character's past were inevitable. According to Pascal, "as much as he says this is the way, that doesn't mean this is the only way."

There's a bit of a fan battle going on right now in the leaked photo universe for Star Wars. Several sources captured photos of a relatively large set constructed in Little Marlow, Buckinghamshire, with a look that COULD be Tatooine in origin. It's that sort of sand, tan color, it's relatively short, and it looks like a little village. It could very easily be a "Mos Whatever" gathering of buildings - or it could be on a different planet entirely.

If the future required a recasting of the role of Princess Leia for Star Wars, the internet might've just found its actress-of-choice. Millie Bobby Brown, known for her roles as 11 in Stranger Things and Enola Holmes in the Netflix show Enola Holmes, was planted in a set of Star Wars clips via Deepfake. With the greatest of ease, MBB just replaced Carrie Fisher's face - though none of the official parties in play had anything to do with the creation of said video.

Today the first poster was released for the 2021 Mortal Kombat movie reboot. This movie was originally set for a 2020 release, but was given a bit of a bump thanks to COVID-19 and that whole "all the theaters are closed" thing that happened. Today a poster for the movie was released, complete with a real and hopefully final release date. This movie's actually headed to THEATERS... for real!

Today we're taking a peek at the first wave of books released by LucasFilm, Disney, and the publishers and authors behind a variety of new stories. Star Wars The High Republic is an era of Star Wars that takes place before the Star Wars prequel movies - before The Phantom Menace - in the "Golden Age" of the Jedi, a time we've not yet explored.*
