Mysterious “Star Wars” Series in The Works From “Lost” Showrunner Carlton Cuse
Well before Game of Thrones became the kind of appointment television event that captured the world’s interest and had millions of people tuning in simultaneously, Carlton Cuse’s Lost established the blueprint for serialized TV obsession. When Lost premiered in 2004, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse’s massively ambitious series was evident from the movie-like production values, sprawling cast, and evident chutzpah in telling a story that looked and felt big enough for the big screen.
“Star Wars” Sensation: Ryan Gosling in Talks to Join Director Shawn Levy in a Galaxy Far, Far Away
If you want your Star Wars movie to go into production faster than the Millennium Falcon making the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, casting Ryan Gosling would probably be the way to go.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gosling is very much in play for Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy’s upcoming Star Wars film. While most firm details about upcoming Star Wars films are kept frozen in carbonite and locked deep within the lava mines of Mustafar,

The Bear star is set to appear in The Mandalorian & Grogu, directed by Jon Favreau, as Jabba the Hutt’s son Rotta the Hutt. Deadline confirms the casting and says it’s a meaty role (pun intended).
Considering Jabba doesn’t have any human offspring that have been mentioned,
A New Hope for a Fresh “Star Wars” Saga: New Trilogy to be Written & Produced by “X-Men” Alum Simon Kinberg
From the sprawling, brawling world of mutants on X-Men to the intergalactic intrigue in a galaxy far, far away—this is the path for former X-Men writer, director, and producer Simon Kinberg. Although it’s a path that Kinberg knows well.

Director Shawn Levy Reveals a Key “Deadpool 3” Scene Was Inspired by Iconic “Star Wars” Moment
Deadpool 3 director Shawn Levy is not the first—or even the four hundredth—director to be inspired by Star Wars, but he’s in a particularly fortuitous position to deploy his inspiration to spectacular effect. Levy’s upcoming Marvel Studios film, which finds Ryan Reynolds’ titular antihero mixing it up with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine (resurrected for the new film despite dying in James Mangold’s 2017 epic Logan), is the franchise’s first film under the Marvel banner.
Director Shawn Levy on Synchronicity Between His “Deadpool 3” and Secret “Star Wars” Movie
Director Shawn Levy is currently promoting All The Light We Cannot See, his Netflix limited series that’s adapted from Anthony Doerr’s best-selling novel of the same name.

The SAG-AFTRA strikes have slowed down production on the latter three titles, but when it comes to the two movies,
A Battle Through Time With & Against Anakin Skywalker in “Ahsoka” Episode 5
Do not travel with us to a galaxy far, far away if you haven’t watched episode five of Ahsoka.
Okay, now that we got that bit of galactic business over with, let’s take a quick look at the major moments in Ahsoka’s fifth episode. The conflict between the titular rebel Jedi (Rosario Dawson) and Baylan Skoll (Ray Stevenson), Shin Hati (Ivanna Sakhno), and their fellow malcontents was put on the back burner as our hero took a heady trip into the past.

May the 4th be with you.
It’s Star Wars Day, and this year, there’s more going on in the galaxy than at any previous moment in recent history. In fact, there’s more going on in the galaxy now than ever, considering the still recent inclusion of live-action Star Wars series on Disney+ and the news, at long last, shared by Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy about upcoming feature films that will look forward into the Star Wars future as well as travel to the distant past at the very beginnings of the Force.
James Mangold’s Upcoming “Star Wars” Film has a Thrilling Premise
The recent Star Wars Celebration in London included some major (and long-awaited) news about the future of the franchise’s feature films. It’s been four years since J.J. Abrams’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019), and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy revealed the shape of the galaxy’s upcoming feature landscape.

“Deadpool 3” Director Shawn Levy in Talks to Helm a “Star Wars” Film
The immensely busy director Shawn Levy might be taking on his biggest film franchise yet.

“Andor” Creator Tony Gilroy’s Intriguing Advice For His Team About Their “Star Wars” Series
Andor isn’t quite like any of the Star Wars live-action series we’ve seen thus far on Disney+. Compared to The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor is almost heroically unconcerned with the legends of the larger Star Wars galaxy, be they Boba Fett, Darth Vader, or Obi-Wan Kenobi himself. The show is a street-level view of regular people, most of whom living on the margins of society,

Whereas our first look at Andor gave us a glimpse at the drum beat of rebellion spreading across the galaxy, the official trailer gets deeper into the heart of the story, which is set before the events depicted in Rogue One when Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) was part of a team of rebels who successfully lifted the Death Star plans off the empire—and paid the ultimate price for their efforts.
“Obi-Wan Kenobi” Finale Delivers on The Tragedy of Darth Vader
*Spoilers ahead for Obi-Wan Kenobi.
There is a reason that Darth Vader is widely considered one of the greatest villains in the history of cinema. Imposing, imperial, and impeccably performed by the voice work of James Earl Jones and embodied by the 6’6″ David Prowse, just on aesthetics alone, Vader is hard to match. The black mask, black body armor, and black cloak all scream fascist terrorizer to our reptilian brain.
