Disney apparently thinks we aren't suffering enough during this self isolation period, so it has announced that it will celebrate this year's Star Wars Day (May 4th) with an early release of The Rise of Skywalker on Disney+. Coming to the s...
What? A list of films from 2019 that's coming out in almost February? Where were you when the awards season was going on? Well, let me clear up some things. This list of films from 2019 is a little late for a few reasons. The first (and mos...
As we move into the new year and new decade, it's time to take a look back at the previous year. My colleagues and I are writing lists of our favorite films of 2019. I wanted to do something a little different this year. I didn't want to wr...
This past week, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker managed to break $1 billion at the global box-office. A feat that took longer than both of its predecessors (The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi), this news may come as a shock to fans that a...
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is a pretty crappy movie. Maybe not the worst thing ever committed to film, but the kowtowing to angry fans with nonsensical character changes and sloppy writing has led to one of the weakest films in the en...
The Mandalorian may not be a great show, but it has captivated a lot of Star Wars fans for one simple reason: there were no ties to the past. Most people enjoy George Lucas' saga and the nine films it has spawned, but the constant nostalgia...
In my review for The Force Awakens I concluded by saying that the film was a strong blend of nostalgia and modernity, mixing our love for the original trilogy with a host of new characters and ideas. My concern then was that Disney would no...
The Skywalker saga may be coming to an end with The Rise of Skywalker, but star John Boyega seems up for more Star Wars. In some recent interviews in promotion of the new film, the actor indicated that he'd be willing to return to the serie...
Fans were puzzled to find that a script for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker had found its way onto eBay recently. Disney is usually very cautious when it comes to stuff like this, so what happened? Did a rogue employee get fired and decide...
Over the course of the newer Star Wars trilogy, many viewers have complained about lackluster dialogue and crappy jokes. While I'll admit that some of the lines in The Last Jedi were groan inducing, I haven't had a particular problem with a...
We're just at/just under a month until the release of Star Wars - Episode IX (those pesky evening screenings the day before have come to complicate releases a bit), and what better way to celebrate than fan the flames of hype?
It's been almost three years since the sad passing of Carrie Fisher, whose final big screen performance as Princess Leia Organa in The Last Jedi gave fans a bittersweet sendoff to the beloved actress and writer. Amidst the tears, there...
Perhaps my sense of time has been thrown out of flux, but it feels like this Star Wars sequel trilogy has only just begun. Not only is it near its end, but The Rise of Skywalker will cap off the Skywalker Saga as a whole. Star Wars stans a...
Can you feel it in the air? There's a crispness in the breeze and summer is starting to fade away. We're inching closer and closer to the end of the year, and you know what that means! It means Flixist has your Fall Movie Preview all set an...
A lot of us may not have been able to attend the wild D23 Expo this past weekend, but Disney and Lucasfilm graced their not-at-all-toxic fanbase with a special look at Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, a film that absolutely no one will co...
It only dawned on me after this weekend that Disney pretty much controls all of pop culture at the moment. They might not have a complete monopoly (yet) over the film industry, but you better believe that they hold on iron grip on the heart...
Remember when Star Wars used to mean something? There was a point where it was the peak of nerd culture, uniting fans across the globe in the joy of being a Jedi and dreaming to use a lightsaber to fight bad guys. Now it just feels like ano...
Whatever your feelings may be about the original trilogy, the prequel trilogy, or the new trilogy, one element of Star Wars has remained unassailable: John Williams' score. In a career full of highlights, Star Wars was his career's launch p...
People online will be shouting about Star Wars: The Last Jedi until long after we're all dead and buried, but it seems the "backlash" to the film is being taken to heart. In a recent talk with USA Today, Daisy Ridley (known for playing Rey ...
Vanity Fair of all places has pulled the big exclusive for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker delivering a detail-filled behind-the-scenes story on the upcoming film that basically the entire franchise is betting on to be really good. Th...
Last year around this time, I wrote an article where I said that Star Wars was becoming an oversaturated franchise thanks to Disney milking the franchise for all of the green milk that it's worth. I talked about how Disney was content with ...
In a recent interview with ABC News, J.J. Abrams got up to his old schtick again and starting teasing bits of information about the upcoming Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. In a question addressing the lineage of main character Rey, Abram...
During the Star Wars Celebration, another candidate for a national holiday when Disney eventually buys the United States, co-writer and director J.J. Abrams finally pulled the curtain on some Star Wars: Episode IX details—namely the ...
