When J.J. Abrams directed The Force Awakens, he delivered a very fun and welcome introduction to the sequel trilogy, but the criticism he faced was that it was too similar to A New Hope. Rian Johnson, meanwhile, did things in The Last Jedi we've never seen before in a Star Wars film, and his daring [...]
Before The Mandalorian ever premiered on Disney+, it was renewed for a second season. That's a high vote of confidence in the show, and the second season apparently began filming in October. With all the buzz about the show right now, though, showrunner Jon Favreau took to social media to share a photo of the [...]
The second chapter of The Mandalorian dropped today, and it was another stunningly brilliant episode! From here on out new episodes will drop each Friday through the end of the year, with the exception of the week The Rise of Skywalker comes out, in which case The Mandalorian will drop on Wednesday. So we were [...]
In 1977, Star Wars was released, and filmmaking has never been the same since. It was a monumental achievement, and A New Hope remains an iconic film even today. It's awesome in so many ways, and the Trench Run at the end remains one of the coolest Star Wars moments. There are so many things [...]
With the launch of the series premiere of The Mandalorian came Dave Filoni's live-action Star Wars directorial debut. But he's a veteran when it comes to Star Wars storytelling. Vanity Fair's Anthony Breznican recently wrote a feature on Filoni, the man who runs Lucasfilm animation and who was essentially George Lucas's apprentice. He's a brilliant [...]

And let me just say: I had high expectations coming in, but this first episode exceeded them. I love it. Let's jump [...]
Star Wars fans are currently counting down the hours until the release of The Mandalorian on Disney+ tomorrow, and I'm super excited about it! But while there's a ton of excitement for that show, let's not forget that there's another Star Wars show currently airing: Resistance! The sixth episode of the second and final season [...]
The Mandalorian premieres this Tuesday when Disney+ launches, and I can't wait! Everything we've seen so far about the show looks awesome, and I'm super excited to finally be able to watch it. Recently, Vanity Fair's Anthony Breznican wrote an article about a new character from the show - Ming-Na Wen's Fennec Shand - which [...]
"How do we build a Rebellion from this?" Rey asked Leia Organa at the end of The Last Jedi. The Resistance had just been decimated; they lost much of their leadership, their allies didn't come to their aid, and Jedi Master Luke Skywalker had given his life to ensuring their escape. What remained of the [...]
Earlier this week, Vanity Fair's Anthony Breznican (who I'm super happy to see back covering Star Wars) reported on a new character in The Mandalorian, which premieres on Disney+ next week! Ming-Na Wen will be playing a character Fennec Shand, who is described as an assassin whose allegiance can go either way - but which [...]
