This Is Not The Film You Are Looking For: Lucasfilm Exec Slams 'Men-Only' Star Wars Screening
As director Patty Jenkins prepares to lasso the male-dominated world of #comicbook movies, with Gal Gadot piloting her invisible jet as #WonderWoman, it's clear that finally seeing a woman superhero in a leading role is a step in the right direction. However, in a wave of testosterone-stocked belligerence, a singular female-only screening of Wonder Woman seems to have rattled the wrong crowd.

You Have To Crawl Before You Can Walk: Rian Johnson Talks The Packed Opening Crawl For 'The Last Jedi'
As soon as the phrase "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" inches onto the screen, you know exactly what you are in for. As the triumphant score from John Williams sounds, you franticly peer at the screen for a minute, desperately trying to recap the plot of the previous film as the new #StarWars opening crawl passes you by. Along with Jurassic Park opening its gates or Ethan Hunt accepting his impossible mission, the opening crawl is a staple of cinematic tingles.

C-3P-Whoa: First Poster For 'The Walking Dead' Season 8 Goes Full Star Wars
Just imagine a #StarWars and #TheWalkingDead crossover? Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Negan comes to chop the head off Chandler Riggs with a lightsaber, only to be attacked out of nowhere by Chewbacca. While we already know that the Breaking Bad universe exists inside #AMC's zombie apocalypse, don't expect Rick Grimes to be hopping in the Millennium Falcon anytime soon.

What a Load of Old Ship: Get a Spoilerific Look at 'Han Solo' Concept Art
We love him and he knows, but there are rumbles that we might have just got a first look at the #HanSolo anthology film. Off the back of 2016's #RogueOne, there is certainly a lot pressure weighing down on Phil Lord and Chris Miller's anthology film, however, it looks like we are in for a treat.

Did Marvel Just Hint At A New Star Wars Anthology Film Between Ep 3 and Ep 4?
If there is one thing that we can all agree on it's that there are certain villains that deserve their stories to be told. There is just something incredibly visceral about some villains that we've been introduced through literature, comics, television and film. We love to hate them or perhaps it's more a matter of empathy as we witness their fall into the darkness.

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.

Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Golden Colored Jabba's Bikini: The Story Of Carrie Fisher's Infamous Star Wars Outfit
Barely a Comic-Con or Halloween goes by when we don't see a young, skinny, woman wrapped in chains and sporting a certain golden bikini — here's looking at you Olivia Munn. The reason, you ask? Well, any avid #StarWars fan will recognize #CarrieFisher's Princess Leia golden outfit from 1983. Like the wind up Marilyn's skirt or Jessica Rabbit's plunging sequin gown, Leia's bikini became a sex symbol for the ages and one of the most memorable outfits in cinema. The image of the late great Carrie Fisher parading around the Yuma Desert will immediately come to mind, accompanied by the words "slave bikini" — a dangerous phrase indeed.
