Warner Bros. Drops Teaser Trailer With Footage From 'Black Adam', 'The Flash', 'The Batman' And 'Aquaman 2'
Last year was an odd year for Warner Bros regarding film releases. All of their movies were released simultaneously in theatres and on HBO Max. As a result, the traditional way of measuring success, a box office metric, was out of the question. However, with theatre exclusivity returning in 2022 and the recent tease of all their big releases, Warner Bros sure has come out of the gate strong from a marketing standpoint.

RUMOR: Is Daisy Ridley Returning To 'Star Wars'?
It has been 3 years since we last saw Daisy Ridley’s Rey in The Rise of Skywalker. The 9th mainline Star Wars film brought an end to the Skywalker Saga. Many fans believed this would be the last time we would see Rey, Finn, or Poe in Star Wars. Several of the cast have voiced their displeasure with the sequel trilogy, and it didn’t seem likely any of the cast would be reappearing any time soon. According to a new rumor, however, Daisy Ridley may not be hanging up her lightsaber for good.

When Might We See Qi'ra On Screen Again?
In the aftermath of the finale of The Book of Boba Fett, many Star Wars fans are wondering if we'll ever see the character of Qi'ra from Solo: A Star Wars Story on screen again. For those who don't know, Qi'ra was brought back into the canon story of Star Wars last year with Charles Soule's comic miniseries, The War of the Bounty Hunters. In said miniseries, we saw Boba Fett lose the carbonite frozen Han Solo to Crimson Dawn between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Under their new leader, Lady Qi'ra, Crimson Dawn auctioned off the smuggler to the galaxy's biggest crime syndicates. This ultimately ended with Darth Vader arriving to crash the auction, as Fett reclaimed his bounty and brought him to Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine.

Ever since Kathleen Kennedy announced the "rematch of the century" between Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series for Disney+, it has become obvious that Darth Vader would be the major antagonist of the Jedi Master in exile. But at the same time, it was clear that the stand-off between the Jedi Master and his fallen Padawan could only be the climax of the mini-series and that there had to be other opponents disturbing Kenobi's peaceful life on Tatooine.

ILM Co-Founder And 'Star Wars' VFX Artist Robert Blalack Passes Away At 73
Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) veteran Robert Blalack has passed away on February 2, 2022 at the age of 73. As one of the pioneering figures in the visual effects industry, Blalack was a leading contributor in the making of Star Wars: A New Hope in 1977, during which he took the role of supervisor for the film's composite optical photography involving miniature and optical effects units. He was in charge of leading the modification and retooling of ILM's optical equipment for running VistaVision, the fabled format chosen for the production of A New Hope. This proved to be no easy feat, as the establishment of ILM's first visual effects pipeline faced many technical challenges and demanded a year's worth of intensive work, leaving only seven months to complete over 300 effects shots by the time the pipeline was ready for action.

Opinion: Should Lucasfilm Be More Open With The 'Star Wars' Fandom?
The relationship between artist and audience has always been a complicated one. Over the last few years, we've seen many positive and negative examples of creative teams interacting with their fans in a variety of ways. This has only been made easier by the global explosion of social media and the internet presence of various actors, writers, and directors on various websites. On the positive side, we've seen many fans have their own work promoted by the artists who inspired them in the first place and even had their feedback taken directly by said artists. On the negative side, we've seen numerous instances of toxicity and harassment occur when either the artist or the audience neglect online boundaries and take their relationship with a work of art in an unhealthy direction. Unfortunately, we've seen both of these occur many times within the Star Wars fandom.
