During an appearance on The Business podcast with Kim Masters, Levy spoke about filming Starfighter and the process of making a Star Wars movie. Levy has had quite the unique experience making is entry in the franchise. Lucasfilm's only demand has been originality. "There is no mandate or interference other than the constant encouragement, "Make this new.' And that's the truth," Levy said. "Every time I've asked, "Should I use this character that was maybe in that movie?' Every time it's, "You know what? People have seen that. Do something new."

3+ day, 7+ hour ago (235+ words) Rian Johnson's Star Wars trilogy has received a horrible update. Johnson previously directed 2017's Star Wars: The Last Jedi for Lucasfilm. Around the time of that movie's release, it was announced that Johnson would also write a brand-new trilogy of Star Wars movies. He also intended to direct at least the first movie. The project never came to fruition, though, and, according to a new update, it sounds like it never will. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Johnson's Star Wars trilogy is now "effectively dead." While Johnson said that a part of his brain "will always be in'Star Wars" and that the franchise has become "so much a part" of the way he thinks, it sounds like it will never happen. Johnson told Rolling Stone this past July that the reason why the trilogy never happened is largely because of the…...

3+ day, 16+ hour ago (339+ words) Star Wars" Jon Favreau is finally addressing those rumors regarding The Mandalorian Season 4. Since its release in 2019, The Mandalorian has been the most popular Star Wars show on Disney+. Many fans speculated that Din Djarin and Grogu would return for a new adventure after the Season 3 finale in April 2023. Because The Mandalorian is a television show, the logical place to return would be in Season 4. However, Disney and Lucasfilm pivoted from another Disney+ season to a theatrical movie, The Mandalorian and Grogu. This begs the question of whether The Mandalorian Season 4 ever existed. In an interview with Empire, Favreau revealed the answer. "We were planning on doing a fourth season. I had actually written all of that," Favreau said. "I still have season 4 sitting on my desk here." Favreau did not share if he plans to revisit The Mandalorian Season…...

For their latest mission, the Mandalorian and Grogu will team with new allies, including this fan-favorite character from another Star Wars show. According to director Jon Favreau, Din is a different person, one who wants to work with, not against, the New Republic. "The Mandalorian has changed his priorities," Favreau said in an interview with Empire Magazine. "One of the last things we say [in Season 3] is, like, "I don't want to go out there and just be a hired gun. I want to work for the good guys." One of the new characters Mando will work with is Zeb Orrelios, a Lasat who is best known for his role in the animated series Star Wars Rebels. Zeb is a Lasat…...

1+ week, 3+ day ago (242+ words) At a time when American comics were becoming more grim and gritty, The Rocketeer was a throwback to the medium's pulp roots. The series' retro style inspired a devout following and, in 1991, a cult classic cinematic adaptation. Since then, fans have hoped for a follow-up film. Unfortunately for them, the long-awaited return of The Rocketeer has come in another form. The efforts to produce a sequel to The Rocketeer movie have been equally troubled. The movie had originally been planned as the first in a trilogy. However, it was not as profitable as Walt Disney Pictures had hoped. Two decades later they reconsidered, and began developing a sequel in 2012. A succession of screenwriters, directors, and revamp ideas followed. The Rocketeer: The Island will find Cliff Secord taking on a mission of mercy. Set in 1938, the story finds Cliff taking on…...

2+ week, 10+ hour ago (312+ words) Oscar Isaac could return to Marvel and Star Wars one day. However, a return isn't likely right now because of recent events involving Disney. This past September, Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel for comments he made on Jimmy Kimmel Live! about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. This decision did not sit well with Isaac. During an interview with GQ, Isaac spoke about a potential return to Star Wars. The interview took place two days after Kimmel's suspension, so Isaac was not pleased with Disney. Isaac would consider a return, but he specified what needs to happen first. "Yeah. I mean, I'd be open to it, although right now I'm not so open to working with Disney," Isaac explained. "But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great." Isaac added, "But if…...
