What’s a ‘Star Wars’ film without John Williams?

As often as a seventh Star Wars movie seemed like a lost hope, TV fans have wondered if the franchise would ever make good on a live-action TV series to further the brand. Time and time again, rumors have spread, while the latest sees ABC bosses acknowledging they’d love to host one, and still talk to Lucasfilm about the possibility.

The good news: Lucasfilm is finally rolling out the TV spots for Rogue One. The bad news: there’s not much new here.

We only just (officially) met the new Han Solo, but we might be seeing him onscreen longer than expected.

Iain McCaig, concept artist for The Force Awakens, has praised the script for the new Han Solo prequel, saying that it is “by far the best Star Wars script.”

Just when you thought Fred Armisen’s deleted SNL finale sketch the last of Season 41 to hold you over for summer, in swoops a bonus round of celebrity Star Wars auditions! SNL dusted off the November sketch for another round, this time including Matthew McConaughey, along with impressive impressions the likes of Jennifer Lawrence, Shia LaBeouf and more.

There has been an awakening. Have you felt it?

One of the most common reactions after seeing Star Wars: The Force Awakens in theaters was to go back and rewatch the original trilogy again. Part of that is nostalgia, and part of that is that The Force Awakens was, for better or worse, a rehash of a lot of similar plot points from A New Hope...
