There’s still a long wait before the next Star Wars movie hits theaters. The next installment in the saga doesn’t even have an official name, and there are no trailers for it just yet. Set to debut in mid-December 2017, Episode VIII is currently filming so we’ll have to wait for Disney to release marketing materials for the movie before we get any real clues as to what’s going on. However, a new set of images shows a set from the next Star Wars film for the first time. More →
With all the excitement surrounding the release of The Force Awakens last year, it only makes sense that fans of the franchise are more desperate than ever to see the original trilogy as moviegoers saw it in theaters decades ago.
There have been plenty of attempts to restore the original version of the film in the past (some more successful than others), but last month, a cleaned-up, digitally restored copy of Star Wars finally made its way on to the Internet. More →
We’re 22 long months away from the release of Star Wars: Episode VIII, but on February 15th, 2016, principal photography on the next installment of the new trilogy official began at Pinewood Studios in London.

Mashing up two beloved franchises is a risky proposition. If you screw it up, you have two rabid fanbases attacking you from both sides. If you create something amazing, you have to deal with the fact that everyone is going to want more. In the case of Star Kart, Dark Pixel’s incredible mashup of Star Wars and Mario Kart, we desperately want more.
Late last month, Lucasfilm and Disney disappointed anxious fans of the latest Star Wars trilogy by announcing that Episode VIII would miss its summer 2017 release window after all. We’re going to have to wait until December 2017 to see the movie instead, but there is some good news: Episode VIII has already started filming. More →
It’s very likely you’ve seen both Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Making a Murderer at some point in the past few months, or at least one of them. You probably know everything there is to know about the new Star Wars episode and the new Netflix hit anyway, but just in case you don’t, a couple of major spoilers lie ahead, so don’t go any further if you want to avoid them.
At any rate, one brilliant person on the Internet decided to make a parody poster that combines the two completely unrelated movies, and the result is hilarious. More →
Somehow, despite the fact that the Internet has spent the past month and a half deconstructing each and every moment from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, there are still things we’ve missed.

Waiting two years for Star Wars: Episode VIII to continue the epic story that kicked off in The Force Awakens is going to be tough for fans of the franchise, but at least we have video games to tide us over until then. On Tuesday morning, the landing page for LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens went up on the Xbox Games Store, confirming the game’s existence. More →
What does Game of Thrones and Star Wars have in common? If you thought Gwendoline Christie, then you’re right on the money. The actress plays Brienne of Tarth in the former, and Captain Phasma in the Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
In an interview at the 2016 SAG Awards, Christie confirmed that she’s going to be back Star Wars: Episode VIII. That’s not a surprise, but this is the first time the actress mentioned it. More →
