The Internet was wrong. The film now in that slot is called Strange Magic, a new release from Lucasfilm Strange Magic was inspired by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and uses popular songs from the last 60 years to tell a madcap fairy tale about goblins, elves, fairies and imps as the battle over a powerful[...]

Dark Horse Comics will finish publishing their Star Wars line of comic books, as Disney-owned Lucasfilm move the license to Disney-owned Marvel Comics. But on their way out, I understand Dark Horse plan to run some plot lines that will salt the fields before Marvel take over, permanently destroying a number of characters and concepts in[...]
