A report from Collider earlier this week alleged that due to poor box office reception of Solo: A[...]

Two new Star Wars Black Series figures have been revealed to help celebrate the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story in theaters!

Let's cut right to the chase here: "Solo: A Star Wars Story" is not a bad film, but as we know, Star Wars is a highly subjective film series.

You don't know what it's shaping up to be, how they're editing it, so it's kind of impossible without having seen those things to know what the difference [of opinion] was, or exactly what created those differences." He mentions there were arguments  going on between the directors and LucasFilm, "the actors are at the kids' table,[...]

A new "Solo: A Star Wars Story" tv spot introduces the mysterious four-armed alien pilot Jon Favreau is playing, Rio Durant.

The upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story is a mystery, still, with only four months til it releases in theaters.  This is probably the strangest non-advertising campaign that Disney has done yet, the fact that the only OFFICIAL thing we've seen for the LucasFilm standalone title is the simple text lobby poster. An example- by this point[...]
