5 More STAR WARS Video Games We Want to See
The Star Wars saga has spawned countless video games over the years, exploring different eras and characters. Some are no longer canon (cough The Force Unleashed cough), while others are a part of the Disney continuity. Most prominently, in recent years, we’ve had two Battlefront games (which seem to be it for that series) and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (which is expected to launch a new series). Of course, these games are not slowing down, and we’re bound to get more and more over time. Below, we list five more Star Wars video games that we want to see. LEGO Stories Star Wars is one of LEGO’s biggest franchises,…

BLACK PANTHER Lands Several Oscar Nominations, Including Best Picture
The Academy announced its nominees for the 91st Oscars ceremony this morning. Fans have had their eyes on Marvel Studios’ Black Panther, which has been receiving plenty of awards buzz. Now, the film has received multiple nominations, making history in the process. Black Panther is among the eight films nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. It is the first superhero movie in history to be nominated for this award. The genre has tried and failed for years to break into the ceremony.

Disney CEO Confirms “Slowdown” on STAR WARS Movie Releases
When Disney first acquired Lucasfilm in 2012, the studio made plans to release a Star Wars movie every year, beginning in 2015. However, that plan has led to concerns of franchise fatigue, and it has manifested in the lackluster performance of this year’s Solo: A Star Wars Story. Since then, Lucasfilm has been mum on future franchise plans, but now we have a hint of what’s to come…or when, more accurately. Disney CEO Bob Iger confirms to The Hollywood Reporter that there will be a “slowdown” for releasing future Star Wars movies. While the studio will absolutely keep making these movies, there will be more caution about when they will be…

SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY Heading to Home Video This Fall
While Solo: A Star Wars Story did well with critics, the film was anything but spectacular at the box office. The movie, which had a production budget between $250 million and $300 million (if not more), only grossed $212 million domestically and $385 million worldwide. These are really bad numbers for a Star Wars movie, especially with a massive budget. There’s still hope that home video sales will give it a boost, and now, we know when that will happen. It has been announced that Solo is heading to digital platforms on September 14th, before going to 4K, Blu-Ray and DVD on September 25th. The home video release will have the…

FEATURE: Why Kenobi: A Star Wars Story on Disney’s Streaming Service is a Good Idea
“Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope!” A galaxy in turmoil, the Star Wars are. In recent days, Lucasfilm has faced steep criticism of The Last Jedi, a box office bomb in Solo: A Star Wars Story, and an uncertain reality, as the House George Built retools future development plans. A rumor recently surfaced that those retooling plans would have a big impact, with the oft-rumored Kenobi: A Star Wars Story potentially being moved to Disney’s new streaming service. Of course, people on social media had a lot to say about this. I don’t understand Lucasfilms, the only Star Wars story movie about Obi-Wan Kenobi is being put on hold because…

Box Office Updates for DEADPOOL 2 and SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY
This weekend has been dominated by new release Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and last week’s Incredibles 2, but some other movies have reached key box office milestones. Per Box Office Mojo, Fox’s Deadpool 2 took in an estimated $5.3 million this weekend, bringing its domestic total to $304.2 million. It also reached $403 million overseas, bringing its worldwide total to $707.2 million. While it’s still lagging a bit behind the first film, these are impressive numbers, particularly when you consider the amount of competition this summer. Things don’t look nearly as good for Solo: A Star Wars Story, however. The film grossed an additional $4.5 million this weekend, finally edging it…

New Report Clarifies Lucasfilm’s Current Approach to STAR WARS Spinoffs
The box office failure of Solo: A Star Wars Story was a surprise, and it led to much speculation on how Disney and Lucasfilm will tackle future films…if they’re even made at all. A report this week claimed that the story spinoffs, revolving around characters like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Boba Fett, are being put on hold while Lucasfilm focuses on other films. Lucasfilm later downplayed the report. Now, we have some clarification. According to The Hollywood Reporter‘s sources, Lucasfilm isn’t slowing down development on the Star Wars spinoffs per say. Rather, Kathleen Kennedy and co. are reassessing how to make and market them. For example, the Boba Fett movie –…

Disney Reportedly Puts All STAR WARS Spinoffs on Hold [Updated]
UPDATE: ABC has reached out to Lucasfilm, who has dismissed this report as “inaccurate.” The studio says there are still “multiple” Star Wars movies that are in development, but haven’t been announced yet. The original story follows. A big part of Disney’s plan when acquiring Lucasfilm, in addition to the main Skywalker saga, was to develop standalone Star Wars stories for the big screen. Rogue One came out in 2016 and was a big hit, while this summer’s Solo was…not. In fact, Solo will lose at least $50 million for Disney and Lucasfilm. Fans have wondered how the studio will respond to this, and now, we may have an idea. According to…

Disney Expected to Lose Over $50 Million on SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY
By now, it’s no secret that Solo: A Star Wars Story is a box office disappointment, turning in a poor opening weekend and having a big second-weekend drop. But now, it looks like it’s officially a real box office bomb – something that’s rare for Disney and Lucasfilm. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Solo is expected to lose a decent amount of money for the studio. According to Wall Street analyst Barton Crockett, the film will lose more than $50 million. However, other industry financing sources suggest that that number could rise to over $80 million. It’s unknown how Disney’s television and home entertainment deals, as well as marketing, would affect…
