With characters like Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Obi-Wan and a new generation of potential cinema icons within the franchise, there is an argument to be made that the droids themselves are even more recognizable than any other Star Wars character - except for Vader. C-3PO and R2-D2 have been around since the beginning and have so far appeared in all eight installments in the franchise. With the new relaunch of the universe, Disney/Lucasfilm have added to their bounty of fan favorite droids by introducing BB-8 and K-2SO....

Screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan is arguably one of the most important figures in the history of the Star Wars franchise. He’s had a hand in penning The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and last year’s The Force Awakens - all of which earned critical acclaim. He’s also on board to tackle the script for Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s young Han Solo anthology film, which will hit theaters in May 2018....

Doctor Who completes its biggest story line in season 10, as the Doctor’s newest companion steps into the spotlight. For the last two weeks, Doctor Who has been dabbling in the second longest story line of the season. Though, to be fair, the longest story line has been only half of one, since the question of the vault and Missy’s place in it has been kept in the background for much of the previous seven episodes....

Deadpool 2 gets a PG-13 makeover with Once Upon a Deadpool - but is there an after-credits scene that sets up future Deadpool movies? As infamous as 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine is nowadays, it was also the film that cast Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson. The actor finally got his chance to do right by The Merc With a Mouth with 2016’s Deadpool solo movie, which was a smash hit both critically and commercially....

Dragon Ball GT has never been a particularly beloved series. Even during its heyday, it was seen as inherently lesser than its predecessors. Not only was Akira Toriyama not working on the series, but Dragon Ball GT also wasn’t even adapting the manga anymore. This is to say nothing of the fact that DBZ’s popularity had begun slowing down once the manga ended. As a result, Dragon Ball GT ended up with a bit of an identity crisis, unsure of which direction to ultimately take itself in....

Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Flash season 5 episode 9 The Arrowverse’s “Elseworlds” crossover may have already answered a question that superhero fans have debated for decades: who is faster, the Flash or Superman? The two have raced several times - in comics, cartoons, and even movies. The outcome has usually been fairly inconclusive, although it’s generally been suggested that the Flash is faster. There’s never been a race between the Flash and Superman in the Arrowverse, of course; the two heroes don’t even exist in the same universe, and as a result they haven’t crossed paths until this week’s “Elseworlds” event....

Apple Maps has released a new step-by-step walking guide in augmented reality (AR) in Tokyo, found by Ata Distance.

It also says that Apple has been collecting data in underground stations like Shinjuku, Tokyo, and Ikebukuro....

These days, a lot of people are returning to the world of Fallout 4. This game is pretty old today, but it’s still a lot of fun, and there’s nothing better than going back and creating a completely new character for the first time. Many gamers today have probably gone through multiple playthroughs of Fallout 4, clocking hundreds of hours in the process. Even after so many years, there are probably still some things many players have been doing wrong this whole time....

After seeding beta 7, Apple is now releasing the fifth iOS 16 public beta. As the company has reportedly finished the development of iOS 16, the operating system looks almost ready for its official release in a few weeks from now – probably after the September 7 event.

Back in the ’80s, rarely did a year go by without a new installment in Paramount’s Friday the 13th slasher franchise. Following 1989’s 8th film - the infamous Jason Takes Manhattan - Friday the 13th entries became a significantly rarer occurrence, with the series moving to New Line. Jason ultimately returned for more mayhem in 1993’s Jason Goes to Hell, 2001’s Jason X, and 2003 blockbuster brawl Freddy vs. Jason before finally ending up the latest horror property to receive a reboot in 2009....

FOX’s hit musical comedy series Glee primarily centered on Rachel Berry’s rise from overachieving high school drama queen to Broadway star, but viewers often found themselves gravitating towards other members of McKinley High’s New Directions. Hilarious characters like Brittany S. Pierce and Sam Evans and wildly talented Glee Club members like Blaine Anderson and Mercedes Jones became fan-favorites, but for some people, it was always all about fashionable and sassy countertenor Kurt Hummel....

[This is a review of Gotham season 2, episode 12. There will be SPOILERS.] - Gotham’s explosive fall finale may have brought brought the reign of Theo Galavan (James Frain) to an end and prevented the Order of St. Dumas from going through with their plans for young Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz). However, as the final moments of the previous episodes reminded viewers, plenty of evil-doers are roaming the streets of Gotham....

[This is a review of Gotham season 3, episode 4. There will be SPOILERS.] – Last week’s episode of Gotham brought Jervis Tetch, aka the Mad Hatter (Benedict Samuel), into the show’s ongoing “Mad City” arc. Whether or not that subtitle implies that Tetch will be the big bad of the first half of season 3, this week sees the character’s story really kick into high gear, as he recruits some help in his quest to reclaim his sister Alice (Naian González Norvind)....

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues to barrel toward its U.S. premiere on May 5 with an eye toward continuing the massive success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Captain America: Civil War and Doctor Strange set the bar high for Vol. 2, but then again, so did the original Guardians of the Galaxy. Writer/director James Gunn appears unfazed by the pressure of living up to the MCU’s standards, as he has gleefully shared snippets of the sequel’s production throughout the process....

Halloween star Jamie Lee Curtis says the new sequel is like the original in “many, many, many ways.” Following the release of Rob Zombie’s Halloween II in 2009, the series went on hiatus while the studio tried to figure out the next step. A couple of different ideas were floated, including a direct sequel to Zombie’s movies called Halloween 3D, which would have found Michael stalking his sister Laurie in an insane asylum, but this idea was quickly scrapped....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe officially kicked off Phase 3 earlier this year with Captain America: Civil War, which pitted most of the heroes established throughout Phases 1 and 2 against each other in the debate over the Sokovia Accords. Now, the second entry in Phase 3 is set to introduce an entirely new hero to the MCU - Stephen Strange a.k.a. Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) - as well as new mythology in the form of mysticism, magic, and sorcerers....

Game Night filmmakers John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein are in talks to direct Paramount’s Dungeons & Dragons movie reboot. The classic fantasy tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons essentially ushered in the modern era of role-playing games when it was first published in 1974, and has continued to be major part of that relatively niche culture ever since. Unsurprisingly, Hollywood has already tried to cash-in on its popularity once before; the result, however, was the infamously campy box office misfire that was 2000’s D&D live-action film....
