I mean this statement as no disrespect to other storytellers, but I have long said that Dave Filoni is the very best Star Wars storyteller out there right now. He apprenticed under George Lucas for years, working very closely with the Star Wars creator on The Clone Wars, and it shows. Filoni's grasp of the [...]
Earlier in September, Daisy Ridley was interviewed by Josh Gad on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, talking about what she's been up to but also talking a bit about Star Wars. You can check out the whole interview here, and it's just really great to hear from Ridley again, but the relevant portion for our purposes [...]
Dave Filoni is perhaps the most well-versed and well-learned pupil of Star Wars at Lucasfilm (a company filled with those kind of people), but while his talents have flourished in animated projects, he didn't have experience on the live action side of things. So he went to Lucasfilm President Kathy Kennedy, herself one of the [...]
There's nothing left to prove for Kathleen Kennedy when it comes to filmmaking. She's highly decorated, one of the most accomplished producers in movie history, and is currently third in lifetime box office gross, behind only Kevin Feige and Stephen Spielberg. Kennedy's career spans nearly four decades, and she has produced films like E.T. the [...]
Throughout the sequel trilogy, Rey has been wondering who she is and how she fits in to this story, waiting for her parents to return. In The Last Jedi, however, it was revealed that Rey's parents were nobodies - a fact important to remember, since Rey herself was the one who admitted this. This was [...]
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 [...]
Late Monday night, Deadline reported that David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are stepping away from Star Wars and are no longer moving forward with their previously announced slate of films in the galaxy far, far away. Benioff and Weiss, the showrunners behind the massively popular Game of Thrones TV series, said in a statement to [...]
After The Last Jedi, there was a segment of fans that made their displeasure with the film quite vocal. Some even wondered whether J.J. Abrams would retcon some of the decisions that Rian Johnson made, 'fixing' them in The Rise of Skywalker (which hilariously and falsely assumes that there are mistakes that need fixing in [...]
Bob Iger today revealed that the next Star Wars film after The Rise of Skywalker will be from Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. When Disney announced the upcoming release dates for three untitled Star Wars films, fans weren't sure whether the films would be the Benioff and Weiss films, the Rian [...]
Here's a fun question for you to consider: what is the pinnacle moment of Star Wars? I'm sure that asking this question will prompt a variety of answers and thoughts, but there seems to be one moment in particular that has the most support. And I firmly believe that this is the most pivotal moment [...]
