Thank You, Mark Hamill
Mark Hamill - thank you. I have been a fan of your Star Wars work from the moment you stepped on screen, and I will admit, I felt cheated at the end of The Force Awakens. Your entrance just 58 seconds before the end credits started rolling left me stunned; just what the hell was happening?

My Thoughts on 'Star Wars'...9 Hours Before the Premiere
On the morning of The Last Jedi premiere, I am beyond excited. My thoughts are scrambling to decide what wonders will happen in this hyped up movie. Will Luke die? Will Kylo turn to the light side of the force? Who are Rey's parents? Why is Snoke here? A whole lot of questions are running through my mind, all of which will be answered. Though I want to delve into these questions and theorize about the possibilities of these questions. These are spoiler-free theories to try to solve the upcoming questions about the movie.

The Last Jedi Review (Non-Spoiler)
Now, I'm not Variety or Holly Willoughby, so you'll find no spoilers here. Star Wars: The Last Jedi is the eighth film in the Star Wars franchise and the sequel to 2015's very successful The Force Awakens, but does it match that? Does it surpass it? In some ways yes, and in some no.

The 'Star Wars' Radio Dramas
'A New Hope' Perhaps one of the greatest science fiction movies of the twentieth century, Star Wars has captured the hearts of millions and lost a few of them along the way as the series went back in time. Of course, I’m talking about the prequels, but that’s not the purpose of this review.

Mark Hamill Confirms 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Will Revisit 'The Chosen One' Prophecy: What Does It All Mean?
When George Lucas returned to the Star Wars saga in 1999, he introduced a whole host of new concepts, many of which were never really defined. Perhaps the most enigmatic were prophecies of a mysterious Chosen One, who was destined to somehow bring "balance" to the Force. The Chosen One appeared to be Anakin Skywalker, and the prophecy seemed to be ultimately fulfilled with the redemption of Darth Vader and the death of Palpatine.

Nobody Realized How Many Shots 'Rogue One' Recreated From The Original Trilogy — Until This Beautiful Fan Video
Rogue One was probably the riskiest Star Wars film of all time. Lucasfilm took a huge gamble with the movie; it was a trailblazer for a new range of spinoffs, but also so closely linked to 1977's A New Hope that it needed to stick with the same aesthetics and designs. The end result felt like watching a modern movie that came from a different era.

The Last Jedi: Does the Future Lie in the Balance of the Force?
Excitement is building for The Last Jedi, a movie that promises to challenge our every preconception about the Force. The first trailer was deep and philosophical, offering tantalizing hints that Luke Skywalker himself has strayed from the Jedi path. The second was far more action-packed, and yet still offered intriguing clues that our old Light/Dark dichotomy was about to come crashing down.

Going 'Solo': Ron Howard Finally Gives Us A Title For Han's Prequel
Rogue One proved that a Star Wars anthology film can be a blockbuster success, and it didn't take long for Lucasfilm to green-light another. The Han Solo spinoff hit a bumpy road earlier this year with a director change when Lucasfilm hired Ron Howard to finish the film. He's since launched a tremendous social media campaign, dropping countless tantalizing hints for fans, and winning us over to this troubled movie.
