25 Years Later, One ‘Acolyte’ Scene Fixes The Laziest Part of Star Wars Canon

— Lucasfilm The Trade Federation has never been the most interesting or explicable part of the larger Star Wars canon.

57 Years Later, The Oldest Sci-Fi Show’s Biggest Mystery Just Got Even More Confusing

— BBC/Disney+ The latest Doctor Who episode — “Rogue” — is not explicitly about the complicated Time Lord regeneration canon that has been part of the series since 1966.

— Disney+ It may seem unbelievable, but we’re already near the end of the first season of Doctor Who in years.

But before we get to […]

Who’s The Sith Villain in ‘The Acolyte’? 5 Possible Characters From Star Wars Canon

— Lucasfilm “The Jedi live in a dream. A dream they believe everyone shares. If you attack a Jedi with a weapon you will fail. Steel or laser are no threat to them. But an acolyte, an acolyte kills without a weapon. An acolyte kills the dream.” These words close The Acolyte Episode 1, and […]

The latest Star Wars series premieres on Disney+ in just a few days, and showrunner Leslye Headland has already bragged about its lightsaber whip, unique pre-prequel setting, and all the inspiration it’s taken from the old, now non-canon Legends timeline. But the Jedi murder mystery still […]

The Longest-Running Sci-Fi Show Just Achieved a Historic First in the Most Unexpected Way Possible

When it was announced that Ncuti Gatwa was cast as the 15th Doctor, it marked an exciting new era for Doctor Who. For the first time, the BBC show was led by a Black actor — a huge historic achievement for the British cultural fixture which had, over the course of its 60-year run, a […]

‘Doctor Who’ Series 14 Episode 5 Release Date, Time, Trailer and Plot for the Sci-Fi Show

So with Episode 4 of the newly renamed “Season 1,” “73 Yards,” Ruby Sunday has to save the world from an evil […]

16 Years Later, The Oldest Sci-Fi Show Put A Mind-Bending Spin on a Familiar Genre

— BBC/Disney+ What happens when the Doctor isn’t around to save the universe?

— Disney+ Doctor Who has built itself around the personality of the Doctor, the constantly-regenerating Time Lord who travels through time and space.

‘Deadpool 3’ Is Skewering an Infamous Marvel Tradition
