Rian Johnson Teases That Kylo Ren May Become The New Darth Vader In 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' And Beyond
The Last Jedi is fast approaching, and Star Wars fans are eager to be reunited with their favorite characters, including the murderous son of Han Solo. Scarred and deflated following his defeat at Rey’s hand, Kylo Ren was picked up by the fleeing First Order forces before Starkiller Base erupted in a blaze of light, but according to The Last Jedi’s director, Ren’s journey won’t become any easier — or more honorable — any time soon.

How One Man Leaked The Galaxy Of Character Cameos For 'Rogue One'
Set phasers to "stunned," because for once, the rumors are to be believed. A leaked cast-list for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story all but ruined the surprise that several characters from #GeorgeLucas's original three #StarWars films would cameo in Gareth Edwards's spin-off, and it wasn't wrong. Sadly we didn't get to see Carrie Fisher stick on those hair buns one last time before her tragic passing, but a leaked cast list was bang on with the promised return of some fan-favorites. Redditor tphilb, who broke the news, said that their line of work means the list made it onto their desk, which is a pretty big slip up — someone definitely got fired for this one.

Does The Directorial Drama At Lucasfilm Hint At Big Changes For The Future Of Hollywood Blockbusters?
With J.J. Abrams aboard Star Wars: Episode IX, it seems that Lucasfilm's directorial disputes are behind them, and peace has returned once again to the galaxy far, far away. However, whilst he's set to make the Sequel Trilogy a safe and secure franchise once more, Abrams’s appointment may mark a turning point in the years to come. His return to the helm of the Millennium Falcon may not only change the course the Star Wars universe, but it may also alter the future of the film industry as well.

Return of the Director: J.J. Abrams Will Direct 'Star Wars: Episode IX' After All
Who else was thinking “I’ve got a bad feeling about this,” when we discovered that Colin Trevorrow had joined Phil Lord, Chris Miller, Gareth Edwards and Josh Trank on the bench of side-lined Star Wars directors? I don’t blame you if you were. After all, the decision left fans wondering who would now steer the Millennium Falcon — and Episode IX — into pastures new. Could it be Kenneth Branagh or even Patty Jenkins? Fortunately, the shroud of uncertainty has now fallen away: Lucasfilm has announced that they have a new director on board, and he’s a familiar face indeed!

She Is The Chosen One: Why Lucasfilm Should Hire Patty Jenkins For 'Star Wars: Episode IX'
In the same way that the Force convulsed after the destruction of Alderaan, the internet is now ablaze with gossip in the wake of Colin Trevorrow’s exit from Star Wars: Episode IX. Both he and Lucasfilm have cited the good old “creative differences” line as the reason for their split, however, talk has already turned to his replacement. With Star Wars: The Last Jedi bound for our cinemas in several months and Episode IX scheduled for a 2019 release, time — and damage control — will be at the forefront of Lucasfilm’s mind.

With the success of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story last December and The Last Jedi due out later this year, Disney and Lucasfilm are undoubtedly expanding the galaxy far, far away in fresh and exiting new directions.

Droids In Star Wars — The Untapped Potential
After having recently watched Her and Ex Machina - two brilliant but also very different movies on artificial intelligence (AI), the subject has wondered around my mind for the past few days. And since Star Wars is almost always somewhere at the back of my mind, it was only a matter of time until the two subjects met and I started thinking about artificial intelligence in Star Wars - Droids.

Why Alden Ehrenreich Is an Inspired Choice for the 'Han Solo' Spin-off
To be completely fair, I have not been that pumped up about the upcoming young Han Solo movie as the next Star Wars spin-off. Not to give a wrong vibe here, since Han Solo is one of my favourite movie characters and I see no reason why this movie hasn't got the potential to be awesome. But there are also some potential problems that are likely to come along with the spin-off of young Han Solo, that have caused me to curb my enthusiasm.
