We’re still really excited about the notion that the long-rumored live action Obi Wan Kenobi “Star Wars” tv series is actually happening, and that Ewan McGregor is returning to the Jedi Master role. Even more so that Deborah Chow has proven she can direct the hell out of an episode of some serious galaxy far, far away happenings. We know that Hayden Christensen, who played teen/young adult Annakin Skywalker in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” and “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith,” is coming back as not only Annakin but DARTH VADER for “Kenobi.” This was announced during that massive…

As the days go buy, we’ll no doubt be getting additional confirmations of persons of interest who attended the Washington, DC failed coup attempt. The domestic terrorists stormed the nation’s Capitol Building, forcing their way into the Chambers of Congress and the Senate, desecrating the halls of law of the United States. The FBI went so far as to request the public’s help in identifying some of the individuals who, ill-advisedly, showed their faces (by not wearing masks) to cameras and took various forms of social media video during the insurrection. One of the persons the internet has seemingly picked…

As we predicted when news broke yesterday of Lucasfilm Games launching, it won’t JUST be “Star Wars” titles coming. Announced just this morning, an “Indiana Jones” game is in the works, with Bethesda teaming up with Lucasfilm Games to make it.If you’ll recall, Microsoft acquired Bethesda in 2020 for a cool $7.5 billion, and at present, there is no word on if this Indiana Jones title will be an Xbox exclusive or not. Bethesda’s MachineGames Studio will be handling the game’s development. As they have a ton of experience with the Wolfenstein titles, they already have a leg up for…

While it doesn’t look like Disneyland’s Anaheim resort will be opening to the general public for regular park fun anytime soon, it would appear the California home of Mickey Mouse will be a super site for Covid-19 vaccinations.According to local news outlet KTLA, the Disney Anaheim themepark location will be a dispensation site for one of the vaccines to combat the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. The idea is to use the large, sprawling location to serve as a “super POD,” a site able to administer hundreds (if not thousands) of vaccines to residents. There is currently no publicly disclosed plan for…

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick has declined to accept the honor of the Presidential Medal of Freedom from outgoing President Donald Trump in a very public statement. You can read Belichick’s statement per ESPN here, or below: “Recently I was offered the opportunity to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which I was flattered by out of respect for what the honor represents and admiration for prior recipients. Subsequently, the tragic events of last week occurred and the decision has been made not to move forward with the award.Above all, I am an American citizen with great reverence for…

This “Being The Ricardos” idea is intriguing. Especially when you factor in Aaron Sorkin writing and directing a film about Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz for Amazon. What is less interesting is the current pair rumored to be starring as Lucy and Ricky- Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem. Kidman is….a fine actress to be sure, but we can’t really see her as the iconic first lady of television comedy. And Bardem, who is a force of nature in all his roles, is Spanish rather than Cuban, which we think factors largely into casting for this role. Remember “Bewitched” in 2005?…

Are you ready for one-stop shopping for all your “Star Wars” gaming needs? Look no further than newly-launched Lucasfilm Games, a new division of Disney.

This just in-it would appear that for what ever reason, the official biography entry on the State Department’s website for Donald Trump has been altered to reflect his Presidential term coming to an end on January 11th, at 7:40pm.This is a screenshot from this page- The entry for Vice President Mike Pence also reflects a term end today. No one seems to know if this was a hack, or if Trump possibly resigned.We’ll let you know what we find out. The page in question is currently down. UPDATE Buzzfeed claims a source has told them the above news is the…
