No 'Bones' About It: David Boreanaz Will Never Return To 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer'
For those seeking some '90s/'00s nostalgia, what better time is there to be alive? Reunion shows like Gilmore Girls, 24, and the upcoming Prison Break hark back to a time before Kanye ruled the world, avocados didn't cost $10, and Hilary Duff was still doing that awkward Disney swish. However, while Kenan and Kel tease they could once again flip burgers for Good Burger 2, one reunion that definitely won't be happening involves the not-so-sunny town of Sunnydale. Vampire romp Buffy the Vampire Slayer 2.0 looks even less-likely to happen if the latest alumni interview is anything to go by.

Like It Or Lumpy It: Chewbacca's Son Is Officially In Star Wars Canon
You can say what you want about the Star Wars Holiday Special, but it has certainly given us something to talk about over the past 39 years: Carrie Fisher singing carols, a sympathetic (but still largely silent) Boba Fett, and a segment of meet the Wookiees that now looks like it has been plucked from Harry and the Hendersons.
