H aving been a long time Star Wars fan, I sometimes take it for granted that when there is a new movie, comic series, novel or television series, I will be at least somewhat familiar with the setting, timeline, and possibly some recurring characters. Generally the overall story won’t be something I’m completely new to, because even when something new does come out, chances are that particular part of the timeline had been previously explored in the Legends books/comics—so even if something isn’t canon anymore, I will be comfortable with the state of galaxy at that time. When Lucasfilm announced that they had decided to branch off of the episodic films and make a standalone, I didn’t feel the confusion that a lot of the more casual fans did. To be honest, I was confused as to why they were confused. The first time I experienced a casual fans confusion was at my work right before Rogue One ’s release, when a guy approached me all confused by the fact that Rogue One: A Star Wars

On January 21, 2017, Leah Adler passed away at the age of 97. While Mrs. Adler was not herself a filmmaker, she had a profound effect on cinematic history through her profound effect on her son, legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg. Born Leah Posner, she married Arnold Spielberg in 1945, and a year later gave birth to her first child, Steven. While Arnold was a pioneering electrical engineer, Leah, a concert pianist, was the artist of the family, and it was she who encouraged young Steven's passion for filmmaking. The closeness of their bond was evident in Spielberg's films, particularly his earlier work, as the mother was often portrayed as a figure of great strength and love. Consider these examples: Something Evil: In Spielberg's early made-for-television movie, the story of a young boy possessed by an evil spirit, the father figure portrayed by Darren McGavin is largely clueless to the problem and ineffectual in solving it. It is the determination and love of th

Following J.J. Abrams’ iconic use of IMAX ®  cameras in  Star Wars: The Force Awakens , IMAX and Lucasfilm have announced that director Rian Johnson has captured key sequences of  Star Wars: The Last Jedi  using IMAX’s extremely high-resolution cameras, delivering IMAX audiences greater scope and increased image quality in IMAX’s exclusive aspect ratio for a uniquely immersive experience. The news of Johnson leveraging IMAX cameras for key sequences of  Star Wars: The Last Jedi  comes as part of an extended slate deal announcement between IMAX and The Walt Disney Studios, a division of The Walt Disney Company. Building on their existing long-standing relationship, the two companies announced today that they have extended their multi-faceted agreement with a new multi-picture deal — beginning this year and extending through 2019 —that includes the much-anticipated live-action and animated tentpole releases from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm.

It's with great sadness that we have to report the passing of Steven Spielberg's mother Leah Adler aged 97. The former concert pianist and painter died on Tuesday at her Los Angeles home surrounded by her children, according to a report by Variety. A statement from Amblin said that Leah 'while known for her red lipstick and Peter Pan collars, for her love of daisies, for her blue jeans and sparkly bling, for her dancing from table to table around the Milky Way, and for her love of camping, fishing, and crossword puzzles, Leah is best remembered for her deep, limitless love for the people around her.' Leah is survived by her four children, 11 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Our thoughts are with Leah's family during these difficult times.  The family asks that in lieu of flowers, a donation be made to a favorite charity in her name.

Jar Jar Binks with C-3PO in  Star Wars: The Clone Wars  episode ‘Bombad Jedi’ Note: Beware Spoilers ahead for many episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars Over the past few weeks, I have been rewatching Star Wars: The Clone Wars via Netflix .  During this re-watch, I noticed that Jar Jar Binks, although still clumsy, annoying and not the brightest being in the Star Wars Universe, has a good heart and does the best he can to help his friends and especially, his people get through The Clone Wars. In addition, Jar Jar displays skills and abilities that are not apparent when we first meet him in The Phantom Menace . Therefore, this article will explore a few examples of Jar Jar’s maturity, growth, abilities and skills displayed during The Clone Wars series.
