Top 70s Sci-Fi Cult Classic Movies
Bored of watching modern day rom-coms and mainstream plots? You might want to put on some sci-fi cult classics from the 1980s. Audiences back them seemed open to some pretty far-out movies, and some science fiction films more than others became classics among a small, loyal following.

Kylo Ren is Too Emotional to Become the Most Powerful Sith Lord
When first meeting Kylo Ren, we hear the music of the First Order build up in anticipation as his ship makes its way down to the village. As he exits the ship and makes his way down its ramp through the blow off smoke of the door, he makes his way towards Lor San Tekka. This is the first hint we get at Ren having some form of emotional tie to the light side of the force. Lor San Tekka states that the First Order rose from the Dark Side, and that Ren does not come from the dark side. He says that he cannot deny the truth that is his family, giving us the idea that it is possibly in relation to someone who was or is a Jedi. So straight off the bat in this film we see a hole, or weakness if you will, in Kylo Ren's evil conquest. He does not let Lor San Tekka finish his thought about Ren's family, but strikes him down with his three prong, sword-like light saber.

In what might be a new record between rumor and official confirmation, Lucasfilm announced on June 22nd that Ron Howard would be taking over the directing duties on the (as yet still untitled) Han Solo Star Wars spin-off film. Howard takes over the director's chair from Lego Movie filmmakers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller who left the production officially days earlier due to “creative differences.” With less than a year to go before the announced release date and months into production already, Howard certainly has his work cut out for him. What might we expect from his entry into the Star Wars canon?

Most Powerful 'Star Wars' Villains
Star Wars is a series that has become the birthplace of many amazing characters, fandoms, and storylines. It is so vast that it even has its own set of unique planets, that some fans have studied in greater detail than those of our own universe. In this Universe, the series highlights the differences in "good vs. evil" groups in the universe. Jedis are fans of blue, Sith are fans of red.

Most Realistic Alien Species in Sci-Fi
It doesn't take much to see how scientific discoveries have inspired sci-fi authors to create new worlds. Many famous science fiction authors wondered what life would be like on another planet after seeing the lunar landing. Others gained inspiration from seeing robots being made. Even more may have wondered what kind of biology aliens would have—and how it'd interact with ours.

Best Political Sci-Fi Movies
Science fiction is a genre that many people think of as apolitical in nature. It is, on a superficial level, about galaxies far, far away. It's supposed to be about human nature, technology, and how we'd all end up coping with strange scenarios that couldn't possibly happen.
