The release of Star Wars: Episode IX on Dec. 20 is still far, far away, but director J.J. Abrams is reassuring everyone that the last chapter in the Skywalker saga is well on its way towards theaters.
In a tweet Friday morning, Abrams posted a photo …

‘Star Trek: Discovery’ is starting to look a lot like Star Wars
The Star Trek franchise desperately wants to be more like its younger, sexier, more lucrative cousin, Star Wars. This isn’t a new notion. It was an accusation leveled at the shiny J.J. Abrams reboot movies in 2009 and 2012 — right before Abrams, a Star Wars fan as a kid, dumped Trek directing to go helm The Force Awakens.
In the case of Star Trek: Discovery, which returned for its second season on CBS’ streaming service Thursday night, it isn’t just a game of spot the similarities. New showrunner Alex Kurtzman has invited comparison by just coming right out and saying it: he wants more Wars in his Trek. Read more…

At this point we really don’t know much about the next instalment in the Star Wars saga. Apart from the cast and the release date (Dec. 20, 2019) Episode IX is still very much shrouded in mystery.
But John Boyega just gave us a tiny sneak peek from the set of Episode IX. Boyega shared a photo on Instagram showing his hands after a day of shooting. Along with the photo, Boyega wrote a pretty teasing caption.

Disney’s box office topped $7 billion in 2018 and half of it was Marvel movies
In 2009, Disney paid $4 billion to acquire Marvel. Less than 10 years later, in 2018, Marvel movies accounted for more than half of Disney’s $7.3 billion box office haul.
I’d say that was a good investment, wouldn’t you?

John Boyega got into some trouble with Stormtroopers at Disneyland

Most Star Wars fans know John Boyega as Finn, hero of the Resistance. But among First Order Stormtroopers, he’ll always be the traitorous FN-2187.
Boyega got a sharp reminder of his status among the rank-and-file of the First Order during a recent visit to Disneyland. The actor was just wandering around, minding his own business, when he was accosted — and eventually arrested! — by the white-armored troops.
The clip first surfaced in one of Boyega’s Instagram Stories, and was just so perfect that it was quickly captured and reposted in a more shareable format. Read more…
