On Monday night, the final trailer for the ninth and final installment of the Skywalker saga, The Rise of Skywalker, was released! It's a beautifully made trailer, and it manages to thrill and excite audiences with stunning visuals and music while maintaining a very hopeful note, giving us optimism that this saga will wrap up [...]
The Age of Resistance comic series recently finished, and I'm catching up on some of the past issues. That includes the issue about General Hux, and one of the most interesting aspects of this comics to me is that it shows how neither Hux nor Kylo Ren can escape the past - namely, their families. [...]
In The Force Awakens, we only saw the Knights of Ren in one very brief scene (Rey's Forceback vision), and we only got one mention of them (Snoke calling Kylo Ren their master). Yet in true Star Wars fashion, that was all it took for fans to be hooked - so much so that there [...]
In case you haven't seen, Kylo Ren's mask is back in The Rise of Skywalker. Yes, the one he wore for much of The Force Awakens and then destroyed early in The Last Jedi. It is now repaired, and it is pieced together with a red substance, allowing you to see the cracks in it [...]
Probably the most anticipated novel releasing this fall in the leadup to The Rise of Skywalker is "Resistance Reborn" by Rebecca Roanhorse, releasing on November 14. Set after The Last Jedi, this novel focuses on Leia, Rey, Poe, and Finn rebuilding the Resistance. So this will undoubtedly provide good context for us as we prepare [...]
We got a treat on Friday, as Empire Magazine released the covers for their upcoming The Rise of Skywalker issue, and they're absolutely amazing. https://twitter.com/empiremagazine/status/1177613982145875968 https://twitter.com/empiremagazine/status/1177614358660206594 I love how in one of them the two are facing each other in battle, then in the other they're standing back-to-back. Maybe some foreshadowing for the film? ... [...]
The latest Age of Resistance comic was about Supreme Leader Snoke, but it really starred Kylo Ren. It is a very good and interesting story that explored a couple of moments in the course of Snoke's training of Kylo, including a visit to the dark side cave on Dagobah that Luke had faced decades earlier. [...]
The latest issue in the ongoing Age of Resistance comic series was released on Wednesday, this time focusing on Supreme Leader Snoke. Each of these issues centers on a key figure in the sequel trilogy, but in the case of this Snoke comic, Kylo Ren really takes center stage. But that's ok. While those desperate [...]
As expected, this morning on Good Morning America the sizzle reel for The Rise of Skywalker that was shown at D23 on Saturday dropped for the public, and it's glorious. If you haven't seen it, here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n1T3HxHd7Y The trailer plays up the nostalgia quite a bit, taking us on a journey through all [...]
Today at the live-action panel at D23, Disney kicked things off with a bang by actually beginning with The Rise of Skywalker. Lucasfilm President Kathy Kennedy, TROS director J.J. Abrams, and the stars of the film were welcomed to the stage, and there's plenty that we'll be diving into here over the coming days/weeks based [...]
