There’s not shortage of amazing behind the scenes “Star Wars” materials, but this new (old) “The Empire Strikes Back” featurette is absolutely incredible. These are characters and scenes we know SO WELL, getting to see them from another view on the same set is just amazing. Shared this morning by “Good Morning America,” we cannot get over how amazing everything looks. So much of the on-set magic of “Empire” is on display, with the bonus of that amazing cast interacting as themselves. Of course you KNOW that any Carrie Fisher footage immediately has our attention, and there are some gems…

This may be one of our favorite “pass the something” videos we’ve seen on social media yet. A group of AMAZING warrior women channelling their inner “Black Panther” special forces royal bodyguard Dora Milaje in a passing the spear video. If you’ll recall, the Dora Milaje are the ELITIE group of warriors who protect the royal family of Wakanda, and kick so much ass. The video, posted by actual Dora Milaje from “Black Panther” Maria Hippolyte, is freaking amazing. Thank you for sharing this, Maria. It’s incredible, and makes us want to pick up a spear.

We were absolutely delighted to review Heavy Metal’s new “Taarna #1,” a comic to relaunch a shared universe!

We are delighted to hear that Chris Pine has reportedly rolled a nat 20 on his charisma check, and will star in Dungeons & Dragons the movie!

This past weekend, 2-time Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet hosted “Saturday Night Live,” with musical guest Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band. While we were really were hoping for a “Dune” sketch, we have to say the resulting episode was one of the better ones from the past two seasons. Admittedly, the thing that really sold us on Chalamet hosting came during his monolog, where he shared a bit of his personal history with the long-running 46-season sketch comedy show. Turns out, Chalamet’s mom is an actress too, and during the 1990s, she did background work on “Saturday Night Live.”…

WE ARE SO EXCITED about this. Like, we’re kind of surprised we’re this excited, but, here we are. If you’ll recall, Netflix is saying goodbye to the “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” after part four airs later this year, and that kind of sucks. BUT, it sure looks like we’re getting a rather special sendoff for the newest version of Ms. Spellman. The original Aunts are coming!!!That’s right, both Caroline Rhea and Beth Broderick are gonna show up!

You’d think this is the type of thing that would’ve been confirmed during yesterday’s Disney Investor Day Marvel Studios’ portion, but there is a story circulating right now that Jaimie Alexander may be returning to the MCU as Sif.This story comes from Deadline, who claims exclusive knowledge. Alexander played Lady Sif, Asgardian warrior, friend of Thor (Chris Hemsworth), and one of the Brave Companions/Warriors Three in the first “Thor” film directed by Kenneth Branagh. She reprised the character in “Thor: The Dark World,” and in ABC’s “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” tv series. While she doesn’t make an actual appearance in…

It’s been a little bit since we heard anything from HBO about the state of their “Game of Thrones” prequel series, “House of the Dragon” all about the Targaryen family. This morning, the cabler announced three of their cast for the show, which will take it’s plot from the “Song of Ice and Fire” novels as well as the additional materials penned by “Game of Thrones” wordsmith George R. R. Martin. According to the official “Game of Thrones” Twitter account (and later Variety), “Ready Player One” star Olivia Cooke, “Truth Seekers” Emma D’Arcy, and former “Doctor Who” Matt Smith will…

We’ve been anxiously awaiting footage from and news about Disney+’s upcoming “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” spinoff series all about Cassian Andor. Thankfully, there was a sizzle reel released during yesterday’s Disney Investor Day streaming event that showed off a bit of what’s to come in the show!Introduced by LucasFilm President Kathleen Kennedy, the reel had a short snippet of an interview with “Andor” star Diego Luna, who played Captain Cassian Andor in the “Rogue One” film. Luna will not only be starring in the series, but he’s also executive producing, which is cool. You can see the official…

One of the things confirmed during yesterday’s Disney Investor Day was the fact that Taika Waititi will indeed be helming a “Star Wars” film. Back in 2017, Kathleen Kennedy made a comment that she thought Waititi would be perfect to direct a story set in the galaxy far, far away.Turns out, she was making a job offer? “I would love for him [Waititi] to direct a Star Wars movie.  I think he has exactly the right sensibility. It was very exciting to see him step into the Marvel universe and do such an amazing job with Thor.” She even asked NewsHub to “let…
