We can also safely assume that Finn (John Boyega) has some basic knowledge of the prior conflict. He essentially grew up in the First Order, and allegedly learned lightsaber techniques as part of his basic training. Someone in the First Order probably told young stormtroopers and recruits about what happened before. The same can be said for Resistance pilot Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), whose parents were featured in the canon comic Shattered Empire . It seems as if he's been a part of this faction his whole life (or, for at least a majority of it) and grew up around Han, Luke, and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), hearing stories of their adventures in his yo

So, when it premieres in October, the next installment (or miniseries, as Murphy and FX have taken to calling it), it will be known as American Horror Story: Asylum . Given the details that have been pouring in on the series, telling that the setting will be, in fact, an asylum, it's no surprise that they decided to take such a direct route. However, as Murphy is keen to point out, Asylum is not merely the description of the physical setting of season 2; it is also full of figurative goodness about loneliness and characters yearning for affect

Understandably, some viewers were confused when the new Force Awakens characters asked Han about the old Galactic Civil War and the existence of the Force. But in a way, that's because these elements have become so ingrained in our popular culture that it's almost inconceivable to come across someone who has never heard the term "Jedi Knight" or knows who Darth Vader is. In the Star Wars universe, knowledge of such things really isn't all that commonplace. It's easy to see how this could all be new, especially to someone living alone in the des

As a footnote to their report, L-R added that McGregor is apparently pushing for his own standalone film (Disney has since announced its intent to produce standalone Star Wars movies in between "episodes" ). Not only do we think that would be a project with potential - we've already pitched a pretty good story idea for an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie . So, needless to say, we're not opposed to that happening, eit

Despite years of insisting that number three would be the last of the Screams , in the past year, director Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson seemingly succumbed to massive paychecks and committed to a fourth. (Or, as those in the business refer to it, a "fourque

When James Cameron’s sci-fi sequel Judgment Day hit theaters in 1991, it did so with a theme song: "You Could Be Mine" by Guns N’ Roses. But that wasn’t always the plan. James Cameron has never admitted he made the film with the band in mind, but there are some obvious clues. Not only is John Connor’s best friend wearing an L.A. Guns t-shirt – one of the two bands which would lead to GNR – but when the Terminator finally arrives to take on the T-1000 in a shopping mall, he reveals his gun hidden in a box of, you guessed it, roses. Arnold Schwarzenegger personally convinced the band to sign on, making sure the movie’s sales pitch was a successful

"[Gale has] written six Stab books and she has writer's block, and she's pretty bored, pretty miserable, pretty desperate, steam key aggregator|https://gamedealhq.com/ and all of a sudden some murders start happening and her life starts to look up. She likes a good murd

As fans dissected every frame of the latest preview, there was one sticking point that some found odd. There's a moment where Rey (Daisy Ridley) asks Han Solo (Harrison Ford) about stories she's heard detailing what happened years ago (i.e. the events of the classic trilogy). Han answers with "It's true. All of it. The dark side, the Jedi. They're re

The idea that humanity’s idea of reality is decaying, or is already erased wasn’t a totally original thought when The Matrix hit theaters. Once Neo is removed from his artificial life, Morpheus shows him the world as it really is - welcoming him "to the desert of the real." That line is taken word for word from "Simulacra and Simulation" by philosopher Jean Baudrillard, a book that can be seen in Neo’s apartment. Considering his search for meaning, it’s no coincidence that the book is opened to a chapter "On Nihilism" - the belief that… all beliefs are meaningless. Eventually, the philosophy changes, with Neo accepting that he is "The One," and even being resurrected by the ‘Holy Trini

Though Obi-Wan's ghost already played a role in the original trilogy (embodied by the late, great Sir Alec Guinness), as L-R correctly points out, Hayden Christensen was CGI-surgically implemented into George Lucas' redux of Return of the Jedi in replacement of original Human-Vader actor, Sebastian Shaw. In that sense, McGregor's slot in franchise is pretty secure, should the filmmakers choose to go in that direction. After all, for a younger generation of fans, McGregor IS Obi-

Look, in my own opinion, I've never been a big fan of prequels/sequels that go out of their way to shoehorn every single familiar or fan-favorite character into the new narrative. Prequel appearances by characters like C-3PO and R2D2 (oh-so-conveniently present in the saga of Anakin Skywalker as they were in the saga of Luke Skywalker) still irks me almost as much as Jar-Jar Binks. On the other hand: an appearance by Ghost Palpatine is intriguing, since we've never seen Sith ghosts onscreen before - and if we're going that route, an appearance by trust-old Obi-Wan's spirit doesn't seem like all that bad of a cameo to
