May the 4th be with You!

May the 4th be with You! Happy national Star Wars day everyone! 2015 is already an exciting year for Star Wars fan with Star Wars: The Force Awakens coming out this December and the announcement of a Star Wars: Rogue One film set for a later date. Honestly, the fact that we are getting a new Star Wars film has yet to sink in. After expecting Revenge of the Sith to be the last film in the franchise, it is amazing to think that we are getting more Star Wars! Before Disney buying Star Wars, I never expected there to ever be any more Star Wars outside of the TV shows and books, but alas, here we are, awaiting the next chapter in one of the defining stories in the history of fiction.

Unfortunately, it seems that that Rogue One is having production issues with director, Josh Trank leaving the project. According to Hollywood Reporter, Trank "made a personal decision" to leave the project. Maybe there were some creative differences behind the scenes, but I am a little disappointed by his departure. Additionally, the film's original release date of December 2016 might be delayed, although that is not necessarily a bad thing in itself. 

Lastly, you can watch all 13 episodes of Star Wars Rebels on Star Wars.com by clicking here; however, it will only be free for today. When season two rolls around I will probably get around to reviewing the first season. I can say that it starts out a little rough but gets good later in the series.

P.S. If everything goes well, I will hopefully have an Age of Ultron review up by the end of the week after I go see it at some point soon.

May the 4th be with You

May the 4th be with You! Happy national Star Wars day everyone! This past week has been an exciting one for Star Wars fans with the announcement of the new cast, and the casting choices are actually really good. Hopefully, Disney will make another big announcement or release something later today to commemorate the occasion. We do know that a full trailer for Star Wars: Rebels will be coming at 7:00pm today, but my expectations for that are basically nonexistent. Of course I will watch the series, but my outlook on it is grim. Also, in general, ever since The Clone Wars was cancelled, the Star Wars fandom has waned. There are still fans out there, but without the Clone Wars keeping us active, all we have is the occasional news release about the movie to live off of until Episode 7 is released. The Clone Wars was a great boon to the Star Wars fanbase, and with Disney cancelling it and putting it on Netflix exclusively, there is nothing for the fanbase to talk about, so many fans have actually left the internet, which is unfortunately evident by the lack of interest to the new Star Wars casting. Basically what I am getting at is that Disney cancelling the Clone Wars has reduced interest in their franchise. The Clone Wars had to end at some point, but if Disney was smart, they would have continued to air it somewhere to keep the fanbase engaged with the franchise. Anyway, now that I had that rant of sorts, May the 4th be with You! Also, please check back tomorrow for either my review of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, or short reaction review.
