‘Star Wars’ and ‘The Emperor’s New Groove’ have more in common than you’d think

TwitterFacebook

Is groove just another term for force? And is Kylo Ren just a darker, more sexualised version of the bratty cartoon character Kuzco from the 2000 Disney masterpiece The Emperor’s New Groove?

The artist @bb_kate_art took to twitter to make the case for why the next instalment of the Star Wars franchise should look to Disney’s classic Inca drama for inspiration. There are, as @bb_kate_art points out, already many parallels between the two:

Can Episode IX please just be exactly like the Emperor’s New Groove, with Hux as Yzma, Kylo as Kuzco, and Rey as Pacha?

Slight spoiler alert for Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Adam Driver agrees with you that he’s looking good in The Last Jedi – at least, according to Rian Johnson.

People caught up with the Star Wars: The Last Jedi director to ask how the much-buzzed-about beefcake moment came about.

“Adam looks so damn good because he’d been training hardcore for the past six months for those fight scenes,” Johnson told the magazine. “I’m like, ‘Eh. He looks so good. We should put him up there.'”

Rian: I like the way you think.  Read more…

My crush on Kylo Ren in ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ has me rooting for the dark side

TwitterFacebook

This story is literally riddled with Star Wars: The Last Jedi spoilers. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, fellow Kylo crushers. 

In a galaxy far, far away lives a bad boy villain with a hero’s heart who’s deeply misunderstood. His name is Kylo Ren—but his family calls him Ben—and I’d burn down the damn galaxy for him. 

As I watched The Last Jedi, I found my erstwhile unshakeable loyalty to the Light Side of the Force wavering greatly. In Rian Johnson’s first instalment of the new trilogy, we see Kylo laid bare before our eyes. And, by the end of the movie, I was rooting for the dark side.  Read more…

Kids lose their minds as they visit a fan-made, life-sized version of Kylo Ren’s ‘Star Wars’ TIE Silencer

TwitterFacebook

Kylo Ren is a pretty bad guy, but we cannot deny that he takes his design aesthetics very seriously. He shares an appreciation for all black outfits, a cool helmet, a bizarre lightsaber, but most importantly, he has the sleekest whip in the entire galaxy. 

Sorry, Millennium Falcon. 

Popular Youtuber, Colin Furze was given the task, in collaboration with eBay, to try and create a life-sized Kylo Ren TIE silencer along with a BB-9E droid from the Star Wars: The Last Jedi movie. Furze got some help from XRobots James Burton.

The video shows a group of children all throughly excited about the idea of flying through space with Kylo Ren’s streamlined spaceship. The entire TIE fighter took six weeks to build and will be on display at the Burghley House in Stamford until Dec. 10. Now we just have to wait for someone to build a working Star Wars X-34 Landspeeder so we can feel like Luke Skywalker.    Read more…
