Daisy Ridley’s Husband Cast in Adaptation of Former Reylo ‘Star Wars’ Fan Fiction

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-07-19 19:00:27

The behind-the-scenes story of an upcoming romantic comedy could, on its own, be a pretty fascinating movie. Here’s the pitch. A young Star Wars fan writes a piece of Reylo (that’s Rey and Kylo Ren for the non-shippers out there) alternative universe fanfiction. The fan is approached about turning the story into a novel, only, it can’t be specific to Star Wars anymore. So the names change, but the intention and romance stay the same. That book becomes a smash hit bestseller, Hollywood comes call

Rian Johnson Feels Fine About ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-07-28 12:25:20

The changeover from Star Wars: The Last Jedi to The Rise of Skywalker had everyone feeling some type of way, and it continues to this day. Was J.J. Abrams spitefully undoing Rian Johnson’s work in Jedi, or are the two more in conversation with one another than they appear? In Johnson’s eyes, it’s the latter, and something he harbors no ill will about. While chatting with Rolling Stone about Poker Face’s just-wrapped second season, he revealed he had “a great time” watching Skywalker and didn’t

‘American Empire? What American Empire?’ You Can Ask With This Reagan-Adjacent Stormtrooper Helmet

To be a kid in the 1980s meant absorbing the last years of the Cold War through pop culture that played into fears about a World War III everyone assumed was coming—think WarGames, Red Dawn, and “99 Luftballoons.” Somehow that script got flipped when President Ronald Reagan announced the “Strategic Defense Initiative,” a system intended to protect the U.S. from missiles that quickly acquired its own pop culture nickname: “Star Wars.” While Reagan’s Star Wars never actually got off the ground, i

That’s just the nature of Star Wars and, more specifically, Star Wars fans, most of whom look very fondly upon 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story—especially in the wake of Andor‘s two-season run on Disney+.

West End Games’ Classic ‘Star Wars’ RPG Is Still Setting the Blueprint for Its Universe

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-09-01 03:48:43

In the years since Lucasfilm overhauled Star Wars continuity—reclassifying years of Expanded Universe material as “Legends” before wiping a clean slate of continuity it has developed over the last decade-plus—much of what has been rebuilt has been done so off of the back of re-canonizing elements of that old material. In some ways re-imagined, in others just lifted wholesale, the journey of modern Star Wars is as much about adding new stories as it is weaving the old ones back into them. There

When Tony Gilroy and his Andor star Diego Luna decided to cram half a decade’s worth of new Star Wars lore into three episodes per year leading up to the events of Rogue One, they knew the task was unbelievably ambitious. In a chat with the Wrap, Gilroy expressed the excitement everyone involved felt over their great big heist of an entry into Lucasfilm’s Star Wars lore. “We kept waiting for it to fail, going, ‘There must be something that’s going to bite us here.’ We kept waiting for a bugaboo

One of the best, and worst, things about Star Wars in recent years is just how connected everything has been. It meant characters who may have at first seemed tangential, like Cassian Andor in Rogue One, could be greatly expanded in something like Andor. It also meant audiences who had never watched an animated show like Clone Wars or Rebels might be left confused with the stories in something like Ahsoka. In those cases and others, there always seemed to be some kind of guardrails on what was p
