J.J. Abrams writing and directing ‘Episode IX’, Uninspired and Safe Lucasfilm Remains Uninspired and Safe
There are certainly worse choices than J.J. Abrams to direct Episode IX. Lucasfilm just fired one. But, man. I can’t help but feel uninspired by this choice, especially when I was quietly hoping for Rian Johnson to return. Abrams wrote and directed Episode VII, which was an enjoyable, incredibly dumb affair. Great characters, hilariously stupid plot. Oh well. At least us Star Wars losers will have competence, as Lucasfilm continues to make safe choice after safe choice. I’m sure I’ll enjoy the movie, while worrying about Lucasfilm’s reticence to do anything too risky and interesting.

‘Star Wars Rebels’ Season 4 Trailer: All Paths Are Coming Together
Here’s the second trailer for Star Wars Rebels‘ fourth season! I don’t watch the show, I know I should, but none the less the trailer entertained me.
Lucasfilm developing a Jabba The Hutt standalone movie because us pigs will eat everything, I guess
Your inclination, I imagine, is to take the headline as a joke. It is not. Apparently when Disney bought Lucasfilm, they didn’t have any money left to actually spend on ideas. Sick! Sick burn, right? Fucking sick! Sick burn! (I don’t know, I’m just covering up how much I fucking hate this news with my usual tepid intelligence and shoddy jokes.)
Obi-Wan Kenobi is star of the next ‘Star Wars’ spin-off movie. In a derivative galaxy, far, far away!
We’ve sort of known for a good long while that Kenobi was going to be the star of the next Star Wars spin-off movie. I mean, right? But, now it is all but confirmed. I don’t know. I’m not particularly hyped about Lucasfilm just perpetually regurgitating and consuming and regurgitating stories based around established mythos. Would it be fucking insane to tell a goddamn original story within the Star Wars Universe? I don’t think so, but what the fuck do I know.
‘Star Wars: Episode IX’ getting new writer which is great ’cause Trevorrow is garbage
Most people I know, including myself: Oh golly, my dick, my dick hurts with glee for Episode VIII.
Most people I know, including myself: Oh golly, my dick, my dick shrivels with fear for Episode IX, because Colin Trevorrow is writing it.
Well, not anymore. UNFURL, dick. Trevorrow‘s script is being “polished up” by a new screen writer. And hopefully, by polished up, they mean there’s a trashcan where it rots, reeking of inadequacy and turds.

‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ Character Posters are notably sanguinary
Oh man! Some foreboding-ass character posters for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Following the ominous, red-tinted logo for the movie, these character posters are also drenched in sanguinary portent.
‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ Behind The Scenes Sizzle Reel: All The Feels, New Footage
As is their wont with the new Star Wars movies, Lucasfilm has dropped a Star Wars: The Last Jedi “Behind The Scenes” sizzle reel. It’s replete with all the perfunctory feels, and some new looks at the movie.
Ron Howard directing ‘Han Solo’ movie, so here’s to bland ass boring movies
Ron Howard is officially taking over directing duties for the Han Solo movie. And, man. Talk about pivoting from two interesting filmmakers to the most middle-of-the-road, inoffensive, boring-ass choice. The first two post-Lucas Star Wars offerings have een a shameless remake of the original movie, and a heavily reshot movie that cleaved far away from its director’s vision. I’m fearful Lucasfilm is straight-up afraid or unwilling to offer anything remotely fresh in a galaxy far, far away.
