Rumor: ‘Star Wars’ TV shows in development for Netflix. Three of them.
Pros: more goddamn Star Wars. Always more goddamn Star Wars. Cons: Oversaturation of the franchise. Retort: It’s going to happen anyways, might as well just roll with it.
‘Star Wars: Rogue One’ casts Jonathan Aris from ‘Sherlock’
Well, fuck! I’m game for Star Wars: Rogue 1 adding anyone of talented inclination. So even though I’m like, “Wait, what did Aris do in Sherlock?” I’m comfortably sure he’s a competent lad. Right?
OMEGA-CAST #17: Existential Mud Butt Upon The Fury Road!
Oh shit! It’s been a hot minute since we dropped a podcast. Life! It happens. Since the last beleaguered, intoxicated collection of Omega Belligerence I’ve gone on a Bachelor Weekend with the Goons. Captured on the podcast! Seen Fury Road. Noted on the podcast! Gotten married, bought a house. Both on the podcast! But that’s not all. Us Four Usual Dickheads spit about a variety of topics. From True Detective, to the eternal debate in art of Form versus Content. From Bateman’s Mason Jar filled with his scabbed-off genital warts to Riff’s alcoholic slaying of Disney World. It’s all here.
‘The Force Awakens’ Pseudo-News: Simon Pegg is playing an alien in the film
Now we all know what Simon Pegg’s purported role is, in The Force Awakens. The actor will be playing an alien in the film.
‘Star Wars: Episode IX’ to be directed by Colin Trevorrow
I guess it makes sense in some sort of financial way. Get the director behind this year’s biggest hit (Jurassic World) to direct a Star Wars movie. Unfortunately, that same movie is a bag of bloated CGI bullshit, that fails for most of the same reasons that the Prequels fail. Here’s hoping if he’s chosen, Colin Trevorrow brings more of the heart from Safety Not Guaranteed and less of the Hamster Ball Vomit Pile from Jurassic World to the final movie in the new trilogy.
Maybe: Leaked image reveals every ‘Star Wars’ movie scheduled through 2020
This leaked photo is purporting to show the Star Wars movies’ release schedule through 2020. With Kenobi! Hell yes. I have my doubts, though.
