John Knoll, the visual effects supervisor who came up with the concept for Star Wars: Rogue One , hosted a panel at Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017 in which he revealed some never-before-seen unused footage from 1977’s Star Wars: A New Hope. We know Fisher won’t be featured in Colin Trevorrow’s Star Wars: Episode 9, but Lucasfilm president Kathy Kennedy recently said “we will see a lot of Carrie” in Rian Johnson’s upcoming Star Wars: The Last Jedi . It’s bizarre to hear such foul language ass

Rejoice, impatient fans: Lucasfilm has hinted that we might be finding out more about its newest spin-off film in the next couple of months. MTV caught up with Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy at Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017, and asked her point blank about when we can expect to hear some info about the studio’s latest movie. Fantastic Four director Josh Trank was attached to direct a Star Wars spinoff movie a couple of years ago, but he and Lucasfilm ultimately parted ways literally m

But I’m gonna be honest: I don’t know who in the world wants to buy, let alone wear, Kirby-themed lingerie. There are pajamas, undies, jackets, backpacks, sleep masks, and… whatever the ever-loving hell this monstrosity is:The collection is, ostensibly, to celebrate Kirby’s 25th anniversary. The clothes and accessories will be sold at Japanese retailer Yummy Mart starting April 26. If you’re a bit more electronically-inclined, Nintendo revealed during a recent Nintendo Direct that it has a new

Kevin Feige, head honcho in charge of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that everyone’s favorite wall-crawler will star in at least four more Marvel films, including the as-of-yet untitled Avengers 4. First Spider-Man shows up in Captain America: Civil War, and now this. It’s like the folks in charge looked at Sony and said, “Oh you think five movies, including a reboot, within 12 years is good? Meanwhile, over at Sony, plans are in motion for a standalone Ve

Bust out the 8-track cassettes and Walkmans, it’s time to create a new Awesome Mix. Marvel and Disney have released the licensed songs from the official Guardians of the Galaxy 2 soundtrack, and, as expected, it’s filled with bona fide rock classics. So yeah, I’m looking forward to hearing Fleetwood Mac at every party this year. Couple other things I’m looking forward to: watching Baby Groot “steal the show” and Sylvester Stallone (now that we know who he’s playing). Images: Marvel / Disney

Nintendo discontinued the adorable NES Classic Edition so it could make the SNES Classic Edition it plans to sell you later this year, according to Eurogamer. NES Classic Edition came with 30 games, through the unofficial process for dropping in extra ROMs is surprisingly straightforward. Will the SNES version have a similar library? NES Classic Edition was announced in July 2016 before it hit shelves in November. For more retro fun, read about the best (and worst) games on the NES Classic Editi

Ever since Disney and Lucasfilm announced there were three Star Wars spin-off movies in the works, fans have wondered what they would be about. There’s been hope of an Obi-Wan solo film, but Ewan McGregor pretty much shattered those dreams this week. I think they’ve got films to make until the 2020s, so I don’t think it’s going to happen soon if it happens at all.” Not going to happen soon, eh? At least we still have that glorious Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer to watch again (and again).

The Fate of the Furious – aka Fast and Furious 8 – is out now, bringing with it not only one of the best sequel number puns of recent years (‘F-8’, see? ), but that familiar, nagging feeling that you really, really wish you were in The Fast and the Furious. Forza Horizon: Fast and the Furious Digital EditionFormat(s): Xbox OneWell, look at that! There’s a Fast and the Furious standalone expansion for Forza Horizon 2, which was officially licensed to coincide with the release of F&F7. This is one

This official Xbox 360 Welcome Video is a concentrated solution of intense nostalgia for the simple days of the Blades interface. Before I say any more, just watch the video – you probably haven’t seen it in nearly a decade, if at all. It gets even stranger given the Welcome Video’s original context: it was included on the Xbox Live Arcade Compilation disc, a five-pack of XBLA games, which was itself bundled with the Xbox 360 Arcade package. Intuitively organized, colorful, not too full of ads,

But the first episode of American Gods, The Bone Orchard, doesn’t start with these almighty deities. Then bam – it clasps onto Shadow’s face, sucking him into the white hyper-modern limo of Technical boy. Technical Boy and Shadow don’t hit it off, though. After refusing to give up Mr Wednesday to the god, Shadow gets the shit beat out of him by Technical Boy’s lackeys. You really can’t blame him for seizing the chance to smack down the infuriatingly brattish Technical Boy.

Which elite specimen is likely to become the series’ temporary new figurehead when Madden 18 touches down this autumn? Three in total: Barry Sanders on Madden 2000, Calvin Johnson on Madden 13, and Sanders again on the last-gen versions of Madden 25. Counting against him, however, is that fact that no player has ever appeared on the Madden cover two years in a row. Madden 18 is unconfirmed, but expected for release across a variety of platforms in early August. Be sure to check out GR+’s extende

!” Why does Luke want the Jedi to end? Below are five theories about why Luke might want the Jedi to end. In the history of Star Wars, who are the ones who always wanted to get rid of the Jedi? Luke Skywalker’s gone full evil and is planning to end the Jedi by killing Rey, and anyone else who shows the potential to become a Jedi. That instead of creating more Jedi, he needed the Jedi to end… so that something better could come along.

Are we really prepared for a universe without Groot and the gang? Well, you’d better prepare sooner rather than later, as director James Gunn has hinted that Guardians of the Galaxy 3 will be the last time we see the OG Guardians – Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket and Groot – team-up together on the big screen. It hurts just thinking about it. This all comes after Gunn was confirmed to cap off the tree-logy as writer and director for Guardians of the Galaxy 3. What do you think Gunn means by his

There’s something off about Luke Skywalker. Maybe it’s a disturbance in the Force, *that* last line in the Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer or another thing entirely – but something is clearly not right with the Jedi Master. Daisy Ridley senses it too, as she opens up about how Rey is going to move forward and train alongside a down-in-the-dumps Luke. *sob*Can’t get enough of Star Wars: The Last Jedi?

Great news, Marvel movie fans: James Gunn, the writer and director of the first two Guardians of the Galaxy films, has officially announced that he’ll return to write and direct Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 looks to take that zany visual flair and glorious weirdness to the next level. I’m glad Gunn will be around to wrap up the story of these characters. Written and directed by James Gunn and starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, and Vin Diesel, Guardians of the Gal

Telltale’s take on the Guardians of the Galaxy kicks off a new adventure for the roguish, rebellious crew of sorta-heroes. Guardians of the Galaxy faces an uphill battle here by putting you in the rocket boots of Star-Lord Peter Quill. The balance of conversation with these other segments feels good, used as well-spaced breaks to pace out the long strings of dialogue. After past Telltale series ventured into the harsh worlds of Batman and Game of Thrones, Telltale needed a breath of fresh, funny

Warning: spoilers ahead for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Ever since it was announced that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 would feature a reunion of ‘80s action stars Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell, we’ve been wondering exactly what Stallone’s role would be. According to the official press notes for the movie, Stallone will play Stakar, one of the cutthroat Ravagers who has a history with Yondu (Michael Rooker). Directed by James Gunn and starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Vin Diesel, Bradle

Several recurring characters were killed off in The Walking Dead season 7, but three actors are slated to take their place(s). Pollyanna McIntosh, Katelyn Nacon, and Steven Ogg have been promoted to series regulars for season 8, according to Variety. Nacon plays Enid, a teenage girl who first appeared in season 5 and has since developed a burgeoning relationship with Caaarruhhrl. Lastly, Ogg plays Simon, Negan’s right-hand man. And if you’re wondering whether The Walking Dead will make a time ju

Nier: Automata is a weird, weird game. Its upcoming DLC might be even weirder. 2B gets a “Revealing Outfit” based on what Kaine wears in that game, while 9S and A2 get costumes based on what the protagonist of the first game wore. However, it looks like Nier: Automata will only give players costumes based on the Japanese version. If you’ve already beaten Nier: Automata, let’s talk about the true ending.
