There are many extraordinary aspects that make up the world of Star Wars.

Sony Could Limit PS5 Orders to One Per Customer
Welcome back to the realm of console leaks and news pertaining to their releases! Unfortunately, we have some slightly sadder news for you today, which is that Sony Entertainment Network may be limiting consumers upon initial release of the next generation white gaming box. This comes from Sony Entertainment's very own direct retail site, falsely making folks believe that the pre-order gates might be opening soon --probably not-- for business.

Snyder Shows New 'Justice League' Scene With Black Suit for Superman
Ever since Zack Snyder took over as director of the latest DC Comics films (Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, and Justice League) some of his creative choices have been...controversial, to say the least. Fans have been highly divided on the films, and the critical reception has been less than stellar. However, many people agree that the director's cut of Batman v Superman is a marked improvement over the theatrical release, adding to character arcs, explaining some murky story elements, and closing plot threads. With Justice League in a similar boat, fans are looking forward to seeing what Snyder's true vision for the film was, and whether the director's cut can improve the film in a fashion similar to that of Batman v Superman.

'The Walking Dead' Creator Robert Kirkman Confirms He Will Be Involved In Rick Grimes Movie
The Walking Dead TV series, based on Robert Kirkman’s comic book series of the same name, has been running since October 2010. Over the last ten years, viewers who have kept up with the show have grown attached to certain characters. Unsurprisingly, main character Rick Grimes (played by Andrew Lincoln) became a fan favorite. When the character was written out of the main show back in season nine, fans wondered whether we may ever see the character in anything on the screen again. Those who are not caught up with what happened to Rick may want to stop here.

'Batman: Death in the Family' Interactive Movie Coming This Autumn
DC is always on the move when it comes to their animated features. Whether it be shared universe films, standalones, or Elseworlds type of stories, DC animation can range from straightforward adaptations to complete reimaginings. Adding fuel to the hype, a trailer just debuted for the newly announced Batman: Death in the Family. Those familiar with the title may already know of the monumental 1988 storyline “A Death in the Family,” which resulted in the death of Jason Todd, the second Robin, at the hands of the Joker. This was made possible by the amount of fans who called a 1-900 number that year to let DC know whether or not they think Jason Todd should be killed.

'Lovecraft Country' TV Show Trailer Shows Us Our First Look At Cthulhu
The famed writer H.P. Lovecraft revolutionized the horror genre in a way that people had not seen before, or indeed since. The unique existential dread that his stories portrayed showed people a world where they were completely insignificant in every way, and that life had little meaning overall. In no way was this more brilliantly accomplished than with his pantheon of Ancient Ones, Elder Gods, and Great Ones. To even look upon them was to go mad. None of his creatures are as famous or popular as the Great Older God Cthulhu.

Sam Witwer Said Lucasfilm Was "Making a Mistake" With 'Solo' Darth Maul Casting
When asked to name some of the most memorable moments in Star Wars, what comes to mind? Some might say the "I am your father" confrontation between Luke and Vader in The Empire Strikes Back; others might say the moment Rey first wields the lightsaber in the forest in The Force Awakens. However, when I think of iconic Star Wars moments, I am often reminded of one of the greatest villain entrances ever: Darth Maul's first appearance in The Phantom Menace, that double-bladed lightsaber, and John Williams' "Duel of the Fates" swelling on the score.

Falcon's Suit in 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier' Gets New Official Artwork
The Falcon has been evolving as a prominent hero in the mainstream ever since he made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Portrayed by Anthony Mackie, the character Sam Wilson has become more popular among movie-goers over the years. His journey culminated in the events of Avengers: Endgame, where we saw passing of the Captain America shield from Steve Rogers to Sam Wilson. While he may continue Cap’s legacy, it seems that we have not seen the last of The Falcon mantle, as evidenced by the mere title of the upcoming Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
