Everything We Know About The 'Star Wars: Eclipse' Controversy
Content Warning: Homophobia, Harassment, Assault I shouldn't have to point out that this has been a rough year for the video game community, especially for its marginalized members. In light of countless allegations and lawsuits leveled at major game companies including Rockstar Games, Riot Games, Naughty Dog, CD Projekt Red, and most notably Activision and Ubisoft, we've been seeing many calls to action from gaming fans and media alike for the game industry to address and fix its toxic, bigoted work culture that has sadly been a large part of it for decades. Among the companies called out for their systemic mistreatment of employees is Quantic Dream, the developer of titles such as Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human. The company has especially been in the limelight as of late due to the announcement of Star Wars: Eclipse.

When it comes to adapting big-time comic book movies, one has to look no further than Matthew Vaughn to see how it is done.

Already on the third movie in the series, Vaughn has spoken out recently about how he will always love the Star Wars movies but felt the latest trilogy did not live up to expectations.

Most prominent is Jennifer Beals, who is best known for starring in the 1983 film Flashdance, and has been cast in Boba Fett as a Twi'lek character.

It says on the back of the DVD case for Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode II, that anything with Boba Fett featured in it increases it's worth by 800%. And that is definitely the case. Now more than ever. You could argue that Boba Fett has been popular since his appearance in The Empire Strikes Back, (tries not to remember the infamous Holiday Special, it didn't happen, it never happened. GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!) but you could also say he's been seen as a bit of a joke. That embarrassing defeat he suffered in Return of the Jedi, a temporarily blind man with a pole took out the galaxy's best bounty hunter after he had only been on screen for a combined 6 minutes.

It is of no surprise to anyone that a Disney property is keeping things close to the chest when it comes to spoilers. Marvel and the recent run of Star Wars movies and series have done an excellent job of keeping big reveals, character cameos, and plot points under wraps until the moment is right.
