| Movies, Kylo Ren, Loki, problematic faves By Kate Gardner on Wed,11:59 Fandom does not exist in a vacuum, and the media we consume does affect our sensibilities in real life.

Read More > Movies, Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Wars (franchise) By Kate Gardner on Tue,4:20 It might be wise for Lucasfilm to reinvent itself this way. To spend too much time clinging to Han, Luke, and Leia would be poor marketing; there are only so many stories that can be told about them given what the sequels have established. Instead, changing it up and creating a whole new world of characters might be the best way to go, rather than just hoping for the best with rehashing the original trilogy Read More > Sponsored, The Mary Sue Shop By Diana Vilbert on Tue,3:02 Missed your chance to grab a lifetime subscription to the Animatron Studio Pro Plan last time around?
