It's news that Star Wars fans thought they would never read after George Lucas's constant tinkering with the original film over the years; infamously altering scenes such as "Han shot first' and adding CGI effects to the chagrin of many. However, a lucky few have already watched the original Star Wars movie, later renamed Star Wars: A New Hope, after it was shown at a theater in London this past summer: The British Film Institute played the movie twice at its Film on Film festival. Gizmodo reports that Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy attended one of the screenings with a view to giving the original print a wider release. Since its…...

A reported synopsis for The Mandalorian and Grogu spotted in a pre-release German Blue-Ray announcement hints that the upcoming film may pull Grogu toward something ancient from the franchise's extended lore.

Even as a rumor, that detail has fans scrambling over theories like Jawas swarming junked droids. And fans aren't shy about imagining what this could mean. Some are already picturing Grogu tapping into abilities hinted at since season one, while others…...

14+ hour, 25+ min ago (268+ words) Throughout its seven seasons, The Clone Wars visits just about every important corner of a galaxy far, far away, handing over the spotlight to the Republic's fighting force, as well as the threats that oppose it.

In "Galactica," whenever a new human civilization rises, it destroys itself by creating life, and then the cycle repeats.' In the reimagined "Galactica," the Cylons were created by and looked like humans. The human Cylons began as a budget-saving move, per co-creator Ronald D. Moore. At a 2013 Comic-Con, Moore recounted how the costs of both practical Cylon…...
