The Possible Clue to 'Star Wars Episode 8' That No One Is Talking About
It’s been nearly three months since Star Wars: The Force Awakens arrived in cinemas, and the rumour mills and hype machines for Rogue One (2016) and Episode 8 (2017) have shown no signs of slowing down: indeed, it’s a testament to both the storyline of The Force Awakens and the way that Star Wars captures our imaginations which ensures these continuing debates.

No Jedi Mind Tricks Here - The Full Star Wars Slate Until 2020
These are not the films you are looking for... The force is definitely strong in the franchise - last year's Star Wars: The Force Awakens rebooted a cinematic legacy with a particularly rocky past. Somewhere between the Star Wars Holiday Special and Attack of the Clones it looked as if the Skywalker space opera had lost its way. Thankfully under J.J. Abrams tutelage, Star Wars was steered in the right direction and we can expect it for many years to come. The updated cinematic slate for the franchise reveals that we will see another five films between now and 2020, so hold on to your butts...here we go!

Is Harrison Ford Really Done With Star Wars: Episode VIII?
Never say never! It wasn't exactly a big secret that Harrison Ford wanted his wisecracking smuggler, Han Solo, to be killed off by George Lucas in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi. It was a 32 year wait, but Ford finally got his wish when Han Solo bit the dust at the hands of his own son in last year's Star Wars: The Force Awakens. But were we wrong to assume we had seen the last of the galaxy's Nerf herder?

Is 'Star Wars: Rogue One' Bringing Us A Family Rey-union?
There is something nostalgic about going back to the good ol' days of Death Stars, Grand Moff Tarkin and a time before the planet of Alderaan was a pile of space dust. Well if that is your bag, then saddle up for December's Star Wars: Rogue One. Oscar-winner Felicity jones leads a team of rebels who attempt to take on (and take down) the iconic Death Star. In the vein of last year's Star Wars: The Force Awakens, 'here come the girls', so just who is Jyn Erso and why does she look so familiar? Could this be the fabled Rey's mother?

The 3 Reasons Why 'Star Wars: A New Hope' Is The Greatest Film In The 'Star Wars' Franchise
If you're new to this whole #StarWars thing, then I feel sorry for you, because the entire Star Wars universe has been one of the most influential franchises to my upbringing as a child of the science fiction genre. Racing into the stars was something that I wished I could do growing up; being an astronaut would have been the most amazing experience if it weren't for my fear of heights and possibly exploding from a spark in the rocket fuel strapped to my seat.
