On the screen as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars saga, Mark Hamill is a fearless Jedi courageously fighting against the forces of the dark side. But in real life, it turns out, Hamill is a big ol' scaredy cat. In an interview with the New York Times, Hamill admitted that he was downright terrified […]
In a recent audio interview with Empire, director David Fincher revealed that he had an opportunity to direct the movie that would eventually become Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but turned it down for a surprising and clickbaity reason.

A little over a year ago (and the many months beforehand) I was on what I liked to call "the bummer brigade" when it came to Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I wasn't excited about the movie at all and I was the one in the back pointing out that trailers can be deceptive and […]

I've been to one of John Barrowman's SDCC panels. They really are something to be seen at least once in your life. It's very clear the man is in his element at this yearly convention. For a very brief taste of that flavor, here is what Barrowman is wearing to wander around the show. The […]
