Building on the existing Star Wars universe is a compelling, if risky, proposition for Disney. On one hand, fans are interested to see what happening in the years between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, and between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. On the other, Disney has to introduce characters and …
Of all the questionable decisions that Disney made with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, none were more controversial than the one to digitally recreate Carrie Fisher and Peter Cushing as the 1977 versions of their characters Princess Leia and Grand Moff Tarkin. Some viewers were pleasantly surprised by their inclusion while others were confused and …
Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman is finally in the making, and we knew as much back in October 2015 when Robert De Niro confirmed the project. Before you get too excited, you should know the movie, which tells the story of the mob hitman that supposedly killed Jimmy Hoffa, isn’t due until next year. But a …
Rogue One is a great Star Wars movie even if it’s not included in the sagas — well it ties the first two trilogies, but the stars of the film aren’t Skywalker family members. But the final Rogue One version that we got to see at the movies isn’t similar to early concepts. A new …
Although the reaction to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story hasn’t been as overwhelmingly positive as it was for The Force Awakens, the vast majority of critics found the first Star Wars spinoff to be a worthwhile addition to the franchise.

Rogue One is a tremendous hit. It’s making a lot of money for Disney, having opened to record numbers for a Star Wars story that’s not about the Skywalkers, and it’s been praised in reviews.

It’s mid-December, which means it’s Disney’s Star Wars time. Rogue One marks the first Star Wars movie that’s outside of the sagas you might be used to. Disney’s first “Star Wars story” is already a hit with critics, and it’s already a huge money-maker. Star Wars fans spent no less than $290.5 million during the …
If you’re a Star Wars fan, you’ve likely watched each of the Rogue One trailers about a dozen times, or maybe even more. There’s nothing quite like sitting down and attempting to dissect a movie’s plot ahead of time just from the short mini-snippets we’re offered in the teasers. Sadly, due to the number of …
I’m as excited as every other Star Wars fan out there to see Rogue One, Disney’s first bold Star Wars move. We’re looking at a standalone movie that will have no sequels, and which tells a story meant to bridge together the first two trilogies. And I hope it won’t have the happy end we’re …
After a year of anticipation, the next chapter in the Star Wars saga has arrived. But unlike The Force Awakens, this one takes us back in time, before Luke Skywalker made his mark on the universe. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story takes place in between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, but even …
