John Boyega Speaks About Finn Being "Pushed To The Side" In 'Star Wars' Sequel Trilogy
It has been a while since the previous instance where the world saw a substantial interview with John Boyega regarding his experiences with Star Wars. On Wednesday, one such interview was released by GQ. The magazine article goes into Boyega’s involvement with Black Lives Matter protests and his personal experiences, eventually leading to Boyega talking about his feelings regarding his work with Star Wars. Boyega talked about how a stylist whom he had hired cringed about what he wanted to wear, and how the hairdresser had no experience working with hair like his but pretended that they did. (He also talked about how powerful it is when black men grow out their hair.) Regarding the press of The Force Awakens, he had this to say:

LEGO Star Wars Razor Crest Gets Renamed In Some Territories Due To Trademark Issues
Last week, LEGO Star Wars 75292 The Razor Crest got an upgrade on LEGO.com with a new name: 75292 The Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Transport. What seems to have happened is that the product listed as LEGO Star Wars 75292 The Razor Crest was changed to 75292 The Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Transport Crest. The latter name had already been floating around the world. On August 29, Brick Fanatic reported that the US LEGO site had shown the change. However, when the product was released on September 1, it still retained the ship's original name, so the US marketing of the product seems to be unaffected.

'Clone Wars': How Powerful Ahsoka Is Compared To Anakin
When Ahsoka Tano was first introduced in The Clone Wars animated film, fans were initially nonplussed that Anakin Skywalker even had a Padawan. She even seemed to be potentially more exceptional than him, the Chosen One. Was she better than her Jedi mentor?

'Doctor Who: Out of Time' Audio From Big Finish Is A Fun Time
Multi-Doctor stories from Doctor Who can be fun, and the new audio from Big Finish is no exception. Titled Out of Time, this audio takes place in the Cathedral of Contemplation, which exists outside of Spacetime. The Tenth Doctor, played once again by David Tennant, arrives first (from our point of view, anyway). However, his past incarnation, the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) shows up, and then things get a bit complicated, as one might expect.

Why Kathleen Kennedy Would Probably Not Want To Step Down From Lucasfilm and 'Star Wars'
I highly doubt that Kathleen Kennedy would want to step down from Star Wars. We know that her extension goes up to 2021, and it is possible that it may not be renewed. Personally, I do not buy that Kennedy would try to find a way to step down sooner than that, as has been rumored. And if Disney ends up giving her the option to continue her Lucasfilm contract further, I do not think that she would step down.

Indie Film Review: 'Entwined' - An Outstanding Mix of Fantasy And Horror
This review contains spoilers. Score is at the bottom. Entwined, a Greek horror/drama/fantasy film from first time writer/director Minos Nikolakakis, starring Prometheus Aleifer as Panos, a city doctor who relocates to a remote village after his father’s death. There, Panos sets eyes on Danae (Anastasia Rafaella Konidi, this being her second feature film), who lives in isolation with a mysterious skin condition. Determined to cure Danae, Panos soon discovers that Danae is not the helpless girl he had assumed her to be. Danae has some sort of magical power that keeps Panos trapped in the forest with her. Every time Panos tries to go home, he gets lost in the forest and ends up back in Danae’s cabin. Not knowing it was her doing, Panos stays with her and falls in love with Danae. However, strange things start occurring. Weeks after his stay, he becomes older, growing ten times faster than a normal human being. As it turns out, Danae sucks the life force of Panos every time they make love, to cure herself from her mysterious skin condition as well as to keep herself alive and looking young. Panos’ brother George (John De Holland) has been looking for him. Finally, after weeks without answers from Panos, George heads to the village as he finds Danae and falls in love with her. Conflict occurs between the brothers. In order to stop the fight, Danae, who turns out to be a tree creature, sacrifices herself for the brothers and turns into a tree.

Debunked: Rumor Of Disney Erasing Sequel Trilogy; Kathleen Kennedy Out By 2022?
Recently, there have been rumors of Disney planning to erase the Star Wars sequel trilogy. These rumors have gone as far as to suggest that there will be some sort of in-universe element that would erase the events of the sequel trilogy from the timeline, which sounds similar to time travel or multiverse event media like X-Men: Days of Future Past or Crisis on Infinite Earths. However, that is not what is going on.

Kathleen Kennedy and Steven Spielberg Said That Only Harrison Ford Can Play Indiana Jones
With the ongoing pandemic, it is easy to forget the status of something like the next Indiana Jones film, which has been in development for about a dozen years, pretty much since the fourth film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. When this film came out in 2008, some fans did not feel very enthused with the sci-fi elements of that installment. There was a time when people thought that perhaps it would be a reboot, with Chris Pratt rumored to take on the role. With the lack of recent updates and the film generally being off of people’s radars, it may be worth looking at what we know so far.
