Just like Anakin Skywalker on Mustafar, Disney is very quickly losing the high ground with how it’s handling The Acolyte‘s cancellation. On top of the streamer’s decision to kill off the cult favorite Star Wars series after just eight episodes having the distinct whiff of giving into the trolls, the Mouse House has now decided to add salt to the wound by jabbing a second lightsaber into the show’s still-warm corpse.

Star Wars loves the trilogy format. In fact, it’s fair to say that George Lucas’ original three films, which came out almost 50 years ago, started an ongoing trend: The Godfather, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, The Dark Knight, and Scream are just a few examples. But...

A new confirmation shows that George Lucas will impact the upcoming Star Wars movie The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026). Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian and Grogu was announced, rather surprisingly, in January 2024. Not even a year after Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy revealed a trio of new feature films at Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023, the studio shared that the famous TV duo of Mando and Grogu would be breaking the franchise’s theatrical release drought.

When George Lucas set out to make the original Star Wars movie, he made a surprising deal with 20th Century Fox. The studio, which was on the verge of bankruptcy at the time, agreed to give Lucas the full rights to all Star Wars merchandise in exchange for passing up a $500,000 director’s fee headed his way. In hindsight, it’s clear that Fox made a mistake. Back in 2012 (right before Disney bought the franchise for $4 billion), the total merchandising profits from Star Wars were valued at a whopping $20 billion.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

In the current resurgence of video game movies, it feels like every popular video game franchise has gotten a movie adaptation. However, for every hugely successful video game adaptation, such as the Sonic the Hedgehog movies, or even the catastrophically unsuccessful ones, such as Alone in the Dark, there are just as many video game adaptations that never came to be.

After The Acolyte's surprising cancellation, a new Star Wars rumor might help justify Disney's decision, and I guess it makes sense.

The Acolyte's Cancellation News Was Shocking, But Latest Star Wars Rumor May Help Justify Disney's Decision

Mark Hamill is excited about his newest role, which he likens to his experience with his iconic role as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise. It is difficult to even imagine the Star Wars franchise without Mark Hamill. The series kicked off in 1977 with a self-titled movie (retroactively titled A New Hope), which starred Hamill as Luke Skywalker, a farm boy from a backwater planet who finds himself caught up in a space version of Akira Kurosawa’s The Hidden Fortress (1958). Along with his co-stars Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford, Hamill became an immediate pop culture icon via Star Wars.

Recently, I've been slowly rewatching Season 3 of The Mandalorian. I was one of those people who wasn't the biggest fan of this outing. However, it's been some time since it came out. I also can look at it as a whole versus in a week-to-week format. I'm finding that I am enjoying it more this time around, especially when it comes to one of my favorite things about the show:

This article mentions mental health issues and gun violence. Daisy Ridley rose to prominence in 2015 when she was introduced as Rey, the newest "Star Wars" protagonist, and she's been a force to be reckoned with ever since — as both a Jedi and an actor. The London native attended a performing arts boarding school and began taking on small roles in shorts and episodes of BBC television shows until she finally found her big break. Over the past decade, Ridley has had a stunning transformation and somehow managed to maintain a sense of normalcy in her life, despite becoming a household name practically overnight.
