The Last Jedi

According to a new study, more than half of the online backlash against the ‘Star Wars’ movie came from bots and Russian troll accounts.

Lucasfilm released upwards of 25 new ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ photos in gorgeous hi-res.

You never know what you’re going to get with Adam Driver. The actor has continually surprised us over the years as he’s expanded his resume since HBO’s Girls, from poetic bus driver to kooky hillbilly criminal in this week’s Logan Lucky to warrior of the Dark Side. And you can expect the unexpected when it comes to his Kylo Ren, too.

Shooting a movie’s not like performing a play. The theatrical process is primal, all rooted in emotion and immersion within the fictional moment. Production on a feature film requires far more on a technical level, to the point where actors will be ordered to pick up a spoon in the exact same way ten times, just to be safe. (David Fincher famously went through one hundred takes to nail the opening breakup in his magnum opus The Social Network.) For the typical actor, most of filmmaking is waiting around for stuff to happen — but that’s far less tiresome when you get to hang out with Carrie Fisher between calls of “ACTION!”

Star Wars: The Last Jedi opens in theaters in just about eight months, and we still haven’t gotten a trailer for the eighth movie in the saga from a galaxy far, far away. Presumably, that all changes today at Star Wars Celebration, where The Last Jedi will be teased with a gala panel full of guests, surprises, and (we assume [we hope (we pray)]) some footage.
