Not True: Han Solo shoots first in ‘Star Wars’ digital editions

han solo

[Update: This has already been debunked. Because life is pain.] This week it was announced that Disney and the Monolith were releasing Star Wars in all sorts of glorious digital editions. I didn’t give one singular crap because it was understood that they were still Georgey’s Bunk Butchered Editions. But if rumors hold, at least one of his more egregious hack jobs is getting reversed.

Maybe: Ben Mendelsohn playing ‘Star Wars: Rogue One’ villain

OMEGA-CAST #15: The Hero We Didn’t Want

podcast

For the past dozen+ episodes of the OMEGA-CAST, Patrick Bateman has starred in a quality supporting role.

Listen on Stitcher, iTunes, or after the jump.

‘Star Wars’ Maybe News: J.J. Abrams wanted for ‘Episode IX’

J.J. Abrams.

I always sort of thought J.J. Abrams was going to direct the entire new Star Wars trilogy. But with the turnover from The Force Awakens to Episode VIII being so short, it made sense that someone else would direct the middle bitty. When they named Rian Johnson, that beautiful, talented fucker, as the man in charge I rejoiced. I could handle him ostensibly handling the next two flicks. But maybe! Just maybe! Abrams is returning for the conclusion to this new installment of the Skywalker Saga?
