The day after May the Fourth (Be With You), it was revealed that Disney had finally picked the man who would be playing Star Wars' most (in)famous smuggler, Han Solo. That man is none other than, relatively unknown, Alden Ehrenreich.

The 26 year old, Ehrenreich, has starred in such films as Beautiful Creatures, Blue Jasmine, and more recently Hail, Caesar!.
While the news may come as a bit of a head-scratcher, Directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller have had him in the running since the beginning of the audition process. Now, »

Playing Star Wars Shadows of the Empire for the First Time
10 hours ago
As Star Wars week continues here on the site, I'm moving on to the next Star Wars retro-game I've never played before: Shadows of the Empire. Come watch as I play through it for the first time, while talking about the game's development, fun facts, and other little tidbits about its history!
A couple weeks ago, I started this series out with Dark Forces, wherein I stole the Death Star plans. Today, I'm presenting my first playthrough of Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire. I know, I know. As big as this release was (comprising of tie-in books, comics, cards, toys, etc), how on Earth could I have missed it? Simple, I didn't have an N64 at the time of it's release.
Fortunately, for me, yesterday saw the release of the game on GoG, making it playable for the first time on modern PC systems as part of their Star Wars Day specials. »

Avengers Infinity War Part 1 & 2 to be Re-Titled Says Russo Brothers
16 hours ago
Any fans of the Part 1-Part 2 movie designations, may want to not get too attached to those titles for Avengers: Infinity War. See what the Russo Brothers had to say.
For last decade or so, we've lived in a time where movie studios thought it best to break movies into two parts, in order to get every element of the story. We've seen this with Twilight, Hunger Games, The Divergent Series, and Harry Potter.
Most of these two-part finales have been unnecessary and merely a way to garner more cash for the franchise/studios. The exception, of course, will be Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows which was the only story to unite box office numbers and critics.
Just as Marvel was looking like it would follow that same trend, Directors Anthony and Joe Russo have revealed in an interview with Uproxx that they are not set on that title. »

Power Rangers Movie Suits Revealed
16 hours ago
So throughout this whole Power Rangers reboot thing I have said one thing. “Can’t wait to see the suits.” Well folks that day is here. Let’s see this cast rangered up!
Okay as a Super Sentai fan I await every year with the first leaks of what the suits look like and I have to say I’m not disappointed in these. Colors are there, I recognize them as Rangers, and it has elements of the originals with a nice update. They almost look like something mixed with Kamen Rider or my other guilty pleasure the Guyver movies. There’s a real organic feel to these suits that I’m digging a lot.
Nice job Lionsgate I can get behind this and I’m satisfied with this and eagerly await the trailer, oh and the zords, and the morphing sequence, and if there’s going to be a sixth Ranger. »

Indie Beat: 'Cabin Crew' to be released on Flix Premiere - an online Cinema for Indie Film.
20 hours ago
Austin filmmaker Dino Maglaris, and producing partner Chad Charnas, have recently struck a deal with Flix Premiere to release their debut independent feature ‘Cabin Crew.’

They start with nickel and dime scams and drug dealing and eventually devise a plan to raise the needed funds by committing a bank heist. When crooked cops threaten to ruin the plan, these friends realize it’s time to play hardball. »

Competitive Play In Overwatch Delayed
4 May 2016 10:44 AM, PDT
Blizzard has announced that competitive play will be missing in Overwatch until after launch.
Via the official Blizzard blog, they have announced that the competitive play in Overwatch will be absent from the public beta along with official game.
We worked extremely hard to get Competitive Play in the game for Closed Beta. We've been reading feedback from the community and taking it all to heart. As a result, we've temporarily disabled Competitive Play for Open Beta so that we can rework the system and make it better.
Blizzard revealed that they will be tweaking the game and making the experience better and competitive play will return sometime after the games official launch later this month. The mode will be disabled in the beta, but stats don't transfer over to the game anyway.
This isn't huge dramatic news because this just basically means "ranked" matches are not part of the game. »

Remembering Star Wars: The Customizable Card Game
4 May 2016 8:24 AM, PDT
A nerd like me was introduced to something fantastic when he was a kid. I didn’t have all the latest gadgets or video games when I was growing up, so I turned to other things to occupy my mind. One thing that really grabbed my interest was a card game based on Star Wars. You may have heard of it, or this might be the first time it crossed your radar, but the game is a fantastic memory of mine. In honor of Star Wars week I wanted to take a look back at the card game that allowed me to dive deeper into the world of tabletop games.
Wizards Of The Coast didn’t always dominate the card game field with Magic…okay they did, but another company came extremely close to competing with them in the 90’s. The game was titled Star Wars: The Customizable Card »

Star Trek Star Scolds Marvel on White Washing
4 May 2016 7:18 AM, PDT
George Takei, who played Sulu on the classic Star Trek TV series and the follow-up movie versions, is not buying Marvel’s excuses for casting a white actress to play an established Asian character. Takei argues that the decision to cast Tilda Swinton is symbolic of a much deeper systemic problem regarding the casting of white actors in Asian roles.
Dr. Strange has a new enemy in George Takei. Taki, Aka Hikaru Sulu, helmsman of the Starship Enterprise, who was one of the pioneers for strong Asian roles on television, is taking to social media to chastise Marvel Studios for their decision to change Dr. Strange’s long-established Asian mentor the Ancient One to a Celtic character.
Marvel’s stated reasoning for the race-change was that the character of the Ancient One was created as a Tibetan sage, and Marvel/Disney fear that this aspect of the character would be »

4 May 2016 6:40 AM, PDT
May the 4th be with you all! Yes it’s that time of the year when us Star Wars fans just treat a little bit more special than any other day of the year. In honor of this day I decided to take a look at the Top Ten Star Wars: The Black Series figures.
Now I don’t like top ten lists cause I love all my toys equally but sometimes, like with multiple children, you need to clarify which ones are better. Honestly I should have put the Speeder Bike on here but it was between it and the Tauntaun I had to make a hard choice.
There you have it, my top ten Star Wars The Black Series figures and if you disagree there’s plenty of chances for you to comment and tell me which should have made it, which shouldn’t be on the list, »

Toy Review Tuesday: Star Wars Black Series Elite Tie Fighter
3 May 2016 6:54 AM, PDT
It’s Star Wars week here on Cinelinx and I decided to go big...Real big. For today's episode of Toy Review Tuesday, I'm taking a look at the ginormous The Black Series 6 inch Scale Elite Tie Fighter from The Force Awakens. Come inside to check it out!
At a convention this past weekend temptation was strong as I found a good deal on a Star Wars The Black Series Special Forces Tie Fighter. This thing is kind of a mixed bag. It’s detailed, can fit two characters, and it’s an awesome update on the Tie Fighter design, but for the price you’re paying (because it’s huge), there’s not a lot of features on this. A few rotating guns, no sound effects, and a figure. Don’t get me wrong! It’s cool to have a vehicle in this huge scale and is a nice niche piece. »

Breaking Down The Most Important Scene in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
2 May 2016 12:55 PM, PDT
Arguably, the best film of the Original Star Wars trilogy (if not the entire Saga) is The Empire Strikes Back. Where A New Hope was a fun adventure, the sequel took things to a new level by stepping up the threat and providing engaging drama between characters. While there’s a lot to love about this film, I’m here to talk about what I feel is the film’s best scene and how it encompasses all the central themes not only for Empire Strikes Back, but the entire Star Wars saga.
It's Star Wars Week here on Cinelinx! How's that different from any other week? Well, this week features the unofficialy Star Wars holiday (May the Fourth), so all week long we'll be bringing you content that highlights one of the biggest movie franchises is the world...And why we love it.
