Who knew that Jason Bourne and Star Wars had a lot in common? In a recent interview with Total Film, Andor series showrunner Tony Gilroy explained how the Bourne franchise inspired the upcoming television series. Matt Damon played Jason Bourne in The Bourne Identity, a highly skilled former assassin whose amnesia concealed a covert plot within the CIA. It was a great success that inspired numerous sequels and focused on going back to the fundamentals. Gilroy stated, “I had been trying to get people to make an acoustic action movie because action movies had gotten so bombastic in the ’80s,…

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order follows a young Jedi survivor Cal Kestis as he travels the galaxy during the reign of the Empire. It was set five years after the events of Order 66. In addition, Kestis encounters well-known live-action and animated characters like Saw Gerrera, the Inquisitors, and even Darth Vader. Since the voice and likeness of Cal Kestis in the video game Fallen Order were provided by actor Cameron Monaghan, and since both the game and current mainstream Star Wars content have made references to one another, there has been growing rumor that Monaghan might make a guest…

A teaser trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the prequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, was released back in May. It will be available for PC, PS5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. No release date beyond “2023” was specified at the time. Of course, this might indicate that the sequel won’t arrive for another year and a half or less. EA and Respawn Entertainment aren’t commenting right now, but PlayStation might have just accidentally leaked it. Recently, the sequel became available on PSN, allowing PS5 owners the chance to wishlist the game. Although the listing has since…

I know what you’re thinking, but this latest rumor comes from the same website that broke the news that Jude Law had signed on to work on a Star Wars project weeks before it was reported the Fantastic Beasts actor had landed a role in Skeleton Crew. For that reason alone, this rumor might be more credible than one may think. A popular actor from a sitcom from the 1990s, according to DeuxMoi, is joining an unnamed Star Wars project. The actor’s position as a “nerd” and the character’s infamous “suspenders” are further cues that help identify the mystery star.…

VFX studio Industrial Light & Magic, also known as just ILM, is featured in the upcoming documentary series Light & Magic, which is about the magic of films, according to a trailer released by Disney. This series takes us back in time as the people at Industrial Light and Magic, the special effects branch of Lucasfilm, build the effects for some of the largest and most popular movies of the previous 45 years. ILM is a studio that is well-known to everyone who has ever worked in the film industry; it was founded during the Star Wars era when George…

Ewan McGregor made his grand return as the lost, battle-torn Jedi Master. Following years of exile and nearly cutting himself off from the Force, Obi-Wan manages to become more powerful than he’s ever been and finds strength through helping others from the grasp of the growing Empire. While taking solace on Tatooine, early script drafts reveal that Kenobi wasn’t alone. In fact, one of his most trusted Clone troopers, Commander Cody, was tasked with being Luke’s protector while Obi-Wan was off-planet. According to an exclusive interview with The Direct, Obi-Wan Kenobi writer Stuart Beattie revealed that Commander Cody initially played a…

On May 4, 2020, Lucasfilm said that Taika Waititi would co-write and direct a new Star Wars film alongside 1917 and Last Night in Soho writer Krysty Wilson-Cairns. Since then, very little has been revealed besides a few small updates from the director. In light of the fact that Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy had previously stated that Waititi’s film was further advanced than Patty Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron, some had speculated that production would start later this year (which Disney still has penciled in for December 2023). It was expected that this date would fall to Waititi’s yet-untitled project. According to…

It seems like Star Wars Celebration just ended, but that’s not stopping Lucasfilm from gearing up for next year’s worldwide fan event! Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023 will take place in less than a year, and ReedPop has today announced that tickets will go on sale this Thursday at 12 p.m. ET. Star Wars Celebration is returning to London for a four-day Easter weekend event, taking place from Friday, April 7, to Monday, April 10, at the Excel Center, as was announced during the Star Wars Celebration Anaheim Closing Ceremony last month. Once more, there will be tickets available for…

The six-episode run of Lucasfilm’s Obi-Wan Kenobi is finally over. It featured the famed Jedi Master and moved on from his isolation on Tatooine where he guards the young Luke Skywalker. In the course of this unexpected adventure, Han saves a ten-year-old Princess Leia, rediscovers the Force, and—perhaps most significantly—confronts Darth Vader again, his greatest foe and friend. The Imperial March may be the most recognizable piece of music from the Star Wars universe. The legendary John Williams has produced a plethora of incredibly memorable tunes for fans. However, the tune for the menacing Darth Vader stands out without a…

When Attack of the Clones was released in 2002, Temuera Morrison made his first Star Wars debut as the iconic bounty hunter who served as the genetic model for the clone army, who was named Jango Fett. The figure also preserved an unaltered copy of himself, which he used to raise Boba Fett. Despite the fact that Jango Fett was killed in Attack of the Clones, Morrison can appear in any of the upcoming Star Wars projects because so many characters share his appearance. Additionally, he recently starred as Boba Fett in The Book of Boba Fett and even made…
