A production list for Star Wars: Kenobi was revealed with a few details about the Disney+ show we did not know before. This is Star Wars: Kenobi, or Obi-Wan Kenobi, a show that'll be released on the Disney+ streaming platform in its entirety. We've got a very lovely synopsis / Project Summary, too.
Details from pre-production were leaked this week on the Disney+ Star Wars show The Mandalorian. The first and second seasons are done, out, posted, and available for viewing on Disney+ right this minute. While the third season's existence is assured, the release date for the first episode remains unknown. Today's information gives us some clues from which we can glean a date range.
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. This text is written in Galactic Basic, or characters from the Aurebesh - the official standard Star Wars language.
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 book does not include any bit of data or story that Lucasfilm, Disney, or otherwise, would consider "Legends."
Today we're watching the Godzilla vs. Kong trailer, just like the majority of the users on YouTube. This trailer delivers a peek at the most interesting monster movie released in years, complete with the most advanced special effects ever banged into a monster movie... probably ever. Also, Kong has an axe.
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."
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 we're taking a peek at the latest official timeline of Star Wars events as approved by Lucasfilm. This timeline appears in the new book A Test of Courage. In the timeline, we get a glimpse of where all the major movies and television shows rest, including one not yet confirmed before now. Star Wars: The Bad Batch, it seems, will take place in the age called "Reign of the Empire".
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.*
