While writing about Disneyland right now is somewhat frustrating, the idea that someday soon we may able to visit again is comforting.

Along with some notable facelifts for popular rides and attractions like Splash Mountain and The Jungle Cruise, there will be something changing at the iconic Blue Bayou restaurant in New Orleans Square. Generally known as “that place you can see from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride” aka “throw us some bread!,” the…

As things start to shift towards reopening and some small semblance of ‘normal,’ it shouldn’t be a surprise that studios are still moving around their film releases. For over a year, the film industry has been in a state of panic re: theaters. Disney, WB, Universal, and Sony have all experimented with a mix of digital and theatrical releases. But, with the pandemic still prevalent, a solid slate of movie dates is still elusive. This isn’t the fault of the studios, or the movie theaters. This is completely a case of needing to wait patiently for the vaccination numbers to…
For what ever reason, a rumor has been circulating for some time that Naboo Senator Jar Jar Binks would be making an appearance in “Kenobi.” It would make sense in a way, right?

Samuel Hatmaker, contestant on “LEGO Masters” season 1, is behind this particular build, reimagining the iconic moment. In season 3 episode 10 of…
