A recent meme drew a few comparisons between two beloved franchises. The fandoms of Game of Thrones and Star Wars would find it surprising that both storylines have quite a few things in common. Both are fantasy worlds, with one focusing on a medieval setting while the other is set in space.

Star Wars deals with the shift in power between the good and the bad, while Game of Thrones is a more grey area when it comes to those in power. Here are three of the uncanny similarities between the two shows, that will make both fandoms interested in the other’s lore.

It's been confirmed that Nick Frost (Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy) will be in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, voicing a droid that the four kid main characters find. Named Sm-33, this droid is very much evoking the pirate vibe that's been a big part of the promotional material so far. But is that the only character that Frost is playing?
While promoting his newest horror film, Get Away, Frost spoke in a long interview with The Hollywood Reporter about his career. Of course, Skeleton Crew came up where he said something of note. Frost said:
I got a message from Jon Favreau to say just, ‘because you’re a robot doesn’t mean that you can’t appear somewhere as yourself.'Nick Frost Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Sm-33 voiced by Nick Frost. Image Credit: StarWars.com | starwars.com
Does this mean that Frost will play more than one role? Probably,...

Sheldon Cooper wasn’t just another quirky genius on The Big Bang Theory. Sure, he strutted around with intellectual arrogance, a militant schedule, and endless rules lists. But beneath those layers of sarcasm and nerdy superiority, you have to wonder: Was it all a cover-up for his deeper feelings? Sheldon always claimed, “I’m not crazy; my mother had me tested.” But as fans watched him grow from the socially awkward physicist to someone capable of love, doubt crept in—was Sheldon hiding more than his emotions?
Sheldon wasn’t your average prodigy; he started college at 11, earned his PhD by 16, and moved to California to prove string theory at Caltech. Even with all that genius, he let Leonard Hofstadter become his roommate because he didn’t have enough money to swing it solo. It turns...

When you look at the who's who of stars in the franchise, you will get some of the biggest names that the world of science fiction has ever had. From William Shatner to Patrick Stewart, luminaries like Scott Bakula and Sonequa Martin-Green. Not to mention newer names like Anson Mount and Rebecca Romijn.
While a who's who of names, most of whom weren't mentioned in the above paragraph because we simply don't have the time, they don't represent every major sci-fi name out there.

From DreamWorks Animation comes a new adaptation of a literary sensation, Peter Brown's beloved, award-winning, #1 New York Times bestseller, The Wild Robot.
The epic adventure follows the journey of a robot - Rozzum unit 7134, "Roz" for short - that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling.
The Wild Robot is written and directed by three-time Oscar nominee Chris Sanders - the writer-director of DreamWorks Animation's How to Train Your Dragon and Disney's Lilo & Stitch - and is produced by Jeff Hermann (Kung Fu Panda).
We had the good fortune to speak with Chris and Jeff last week to learn how they created and delivered yet another instant animated classic. The filmmakers talk us through how they approached this adaptation, the importance of finding the right voice cast,...

Some people are just defined by the genre they perform in. Scott Bakula and William Shatner fit that description to a "T." They're synonymous with the world of sci-fi, and they're not the only ones. Famous names like Sigourney Weaver, Mark Hamil, and others have the careers they do, in part, due to their appreciation for sci-fi.
Another name that belongs with the Bakula's of the world is that of Katee Sackhoff. Most known recently for Star Wars, where she played Bo-Katan Kryze, she rose to fame with her involvement with the 2004 remake of Battlestar Galactica.
She played a gender-swapped version of Starbuck, now known as Kara Thrace (previously just Starbuck). She added depth, intrigue and uniquness to the role that the original character lacked. Being a byproduct of the 1970s, all the original Starbuck did was smoke, womanize and fight Cylons. Thanks to Sackhoff, the new Starbuck was a much deeper character.

When a show runs for a really long time, continuity mistakes and storyline errors are bound to pop up — but this one from "The Big Bang Theory" feels just a little bit egregious, to be honest. So what is it? Sheldon Cooper, as played by Jim Parsons, is supposed to be allergic to cats, but then an entire episode centers around the fact that he adopts like, a dozen cats.
At the very beginning of the series — the show's third-ever episode "The Fuzzy Boots Corollary" — it's firmly established that Sheldon is allergic to felines, which doesn't feel particularly surprising based on his character; he's obsessed with cleanliness and order, so an allergy to household pets dovetails nicely with his need for everything to be proper and perfect.
This character trait only becomes a problem in the show's fourth season — specifically, in the season's third episode "The Zazzy Substitution" — when Sheldon,...

Ah, "Star Wars." George Lucas' fantastical sci-fi adventure saga set long ago in a galaxy far, far away has entertained audiences and inspired a generation of nerds (myself included) since 1977. What started as a thrilling tale of good versus evil somehow morphed into a sprawling epic about a powerful family, the Skywalkers, and their dealings with the Force. When Darth Vader uttered the immortal line, "I am your father," to his son, Luke Skywalker, Lucas effectively reconfigured his space epic into an intimate tale about fathers and sons, an idea that expanded to include a whole heap of Skywalkers -- even though Lucas didn't consider Luke the main character of the saga.
To that end, we're taking a look at the entire Skywalker family tree to explain how certain characters paved the way for more notable descendants down the line. Considering the confusing nature of the "Star Wars" series that...

In what can only be described as saddening news, legendary actor Ron Ely has passed away at the age of 86. The announcement came from his daughter Kirsten Casale Ely, who told The Associated Press that he died on September 29 at his home in Los Alamos, California.
Ely was best known for portraying Tarzan in the NBC TV series, which ran for three seasons between 1966 and 1968. A time when action-packed TV shows based on classic characters were big commodities for network television (See: Batman), Tarzan maintained many of the elements that were popular with the source material, but it is particularly notable for not featuring Jane. It's also notable for the fact that Ely did the majority of his own stunts (and suffered some injuries as a result of that).

Veteran LA Times staffers Robert Greene and Karin Klein have quit the paper following its decision not to endorse a presidential candidate in the 2024 race.
Greene and Klein’s resignations came just a day after the Times’ former editorials editor Mariel Garza ditched the paper in protest after the decision not to endorse a candidate was made public.
Garza told the Columbia Journalism Review that she is “resigning because I want to make it clear that I am not okay with us being silent. In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is how I’m standing up.”
Patrick Soon-Shiong, the owner of the Times, informed the editorial board earlier this month that the publication would be making no endorsement in the presidential race. The Times has endorsed a candidate in each cycle since 2008. According to Cjr, the editorial board planned to endorse Kamala Harris.

As one of the greatest film composers of our time, John Williams had already made a name for himself before young filmmakers like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg began plans to revolutionize cinema.
According to Variety, it took their "wild energy and wild ideas" to inspire Williams, who lost his wife at the peak of his career. In a new Disney+ documentary called Music by John Williams, Williams shared the ups and downs of his storied career with filmmaker Laurent Bouzereau.

Mike Flanagan and Stephen King are partnering on a new project — an eight-episode adaptation of King’s beloved novel, “Carrie.” The series will go to Amazon, TheWrap has learned.
Flanagan will serve as the showrunner, writer and executive producer of the upcoming series with Trevor Macy also attached as an EP. Melinda Nishioka will oversee the project for Intrepid Pictures.
The series is being described as “a bold and timely reimagining of the story of misfit high-schooler Carrie White.”
Flanagan and King have already proven that they can make some spooky magic together. Based on the 2020 novella of the same name, “The Life of Chuck” was well-received at TIFF, winning the People’s Choice Award. The film starring Tom Hiddleston, Mark Hamill, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan and Jacob Tremblay will be released in the United States by Neon in 2025.
It’s a fitting collaboration between these literary and television masters of horror.

With the presidential race slowly approaching its end, Donald Trump recently decided that it would be an incredible idea to spend a day in the life of a minimum wage worker at McDonald’s. The BBC posted a video of the former president cooking up some tasty-looking fries to serve customers while even stating that he liked what he did. Trump also expressed his desire to return to an outlet of the fast-food restaurant and work again.

After researching this piece, the main takeaway I have for you all is that Mark Hamill works. Say what you will about the man — and, yes, he does get a lot of hate for being in a metric ton of bad movies and TV since playing Luke Skywalker in Star Wars — but he is out there pounding the pavement. Earning his keep. Keeping the lights on.
My job here is to discuss Hamill’s most iconic characters who aren’t named Luke Skywalker. There were many ways I was considering going about this one when I first sat down to write it. They all hinge on the way we choose to define the term “iconic.”
There’s the mainstream way, which reserves the word for classic characters that stand the test of time. There’s the cult-hit way, which treats the emblem as a zany invitation to experience something off-kilter...

It’s been a while since we’ve heard any updates on Gina Carano’s lawsuit against Disney—or her life in general. You might recall that the former Mma fighter-turned-actress was let go by Disney after posting offensive and discriminatory comments on social media that targeted the LGBTQ+ community—something Disney understandably couldn’t tolerate.
Following the non-renewal of her contract, Carano controversially likened her situation to being persecuted like a Holocaust victim, though her actions were widely seen as bigotry.
In response, she filed a lawsuit against Disney, seeking $75,000 in damages and a court order to be rehired.
If you thought the drama had settled down due to the recent quiet, think again. Carano has now shared an update with her followers, confirming that her case will officially go to trial late next year.
In short, Gina Carano was cast as Cara Dune in The Mandalorian, a role...

It’s been a while since we’ve had some updates on Gina Carano’s life and lawsuit against Disney… wait, aren’t those two the same?
Anyway… the former Mma fighter-turned-actress was, as you know, laid off by Disney after her inappropriate and discriminative social media posts that offended the LGBTQ+ community, a thing Disney could not and should not tolerate.
Carano’s contract was not renewed, and the actress decided to compare herself to a Holocaust victim because she was apparently “persecuted.” Carano filed a lawsuit against Disney, asking for $75,000 in damages and a court order that would force Disney to rehire her.

As The Wild Robot approaches release in the UK, writer and director Chris Sanders confirms that a sequel is already in development.
Chris Sanders created the character of blue alien Stitch in 1985 while working at Walt Disney animation, and finally used the character in 2002’s Lilo And Stitch, which he co-wrote and co-directed with Dean Dubois. The duo went on to co-write and co-direct 2010’s How To Train Your Dragon, which led to an extremely successful franchise, though Sanders left after the first one and Dubois wrote and directed alone. The live action adaptation is due to be released in 2025.
After a brief foray into live action himself with 2020’s The Call Of The Wild, Sanders most recent film is The Wild Robot. The synopsis reads as follows:
From DreamWorks Animation comes a new adaptation of a literary sensation – Peter Brown’s beloved, award-winning, #1 New York Times bestseller, The Wild Robot.

In a galaxy far, far away, Luke Skywalker has been a beacon of hope, compassion, and wisdom for generations of Star Wars fans. However, in recent years, some have argued that the iconic character’s portrayal in the sequel trilogy strayed from the Luke we knew and loved.
Amidst this debate, a recent Instagram reel has reignited the discussion, suggesting that the last time we saw a truly lore-accurate Luke Skywalker was in the unlikely setting of Star Wars Battlefront 2.

The reel, posted by user darthholocron, showcases a series of poignant exchanges between Luke and Del Meeko, the Imperial-turned-Rebel soldier. These interactions, though brief, paint a picture of a Luke Skywalker, who embodies the very essence of the character we first met in A New Hope – wise, compassionate, and always ready to lend a helping hand.

Laura Spencer, best known as Emily Sweeney on The Big Bang Theory, revealed a mind-bending twist behind one of her scenes—turns out, it was all improv! Spencer’s unsettling moment on the show wasn’t scripted; it was pure, off-the-cuff brilliance that added a whole new layer of tension to her character.

While Emily’s dark sense of humor always kept viewers on their toes, this particular scene dialed it up a notch. It’s safe to say, The Big Bang Theory would’ve hit differently without that wicked touch of spontaneity.

Invincible will return to our screens on February 6, 2025 - and there will be no pesky mid-season break!
We have no idea how long this promo will stay up (and wouldn't be surprised if an official version was released fairly soon), but it finds a now 19-year-old Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) meeting with Cecil Stedman (Walton Goggins) in a café in a similar set-up to the season 2 teaser with Allen the Alien.
Cecil is not happy (for a change) with Mark taking a lengthy break from crime-fighting, and tells the young hero that he needs more training if he hopes to face the oncoming Viltrumite threat. It's a fun teaser,...

In George Lucas' pulp sci-fi epic "Star Wars," the innocent farmboy Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and the blowhard smuggler Han Solo (Harrison Ford) infiltrate the Empire's massive Death Star base to rescue the captured Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) from a jail cell. The breakout doesn't go terribly well, sadly, and the three, along with their space-Sasquatch friend Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew), get involved in a dangerous firefight with Imperial soldiers. To flee the conflagration, our heroes escape down a chute in the wall, not knowing where it leads. They find themselves inside a wet, cluttered garbage receptacle, surrounded by smelly machine parts and God knows what else. Gross, trash-eating eels lurk in the water. Well, at least they were no longer in immediate danger.
Then, shockingly, the walls of the trash room begin closing in. They're not in a receptacle. They're in a compactor! Our four heroes do whatever they can to stop the moving walls,...

With Joker: Folie a Deux withering away at the box office, it seems likely that Warner Bros and DC are going to want to put a little distance between themselves and Todd Phillips’s disastrous sequel before the Clown Prince of Crime is welcomed back to the big screen (it seems highly unlikely he’ll figure into The Batman Part 2). However, sooner or later the Joker will return, as not one but two actors have won Oscars for playing the role (although Phoenix’s interpretation has been somewhat retconned). It’s just a delicious part to play, isn’t it? But, of all the actors, who was the best? Take the poll below and let us know!
Who is the best big-screen Joker?Cesar Romero (Batman: The Movie)Jack Nicholson (Batman '89)Mark Hamill (Batman: Mask of the Phantasm)Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight)Jared Leto (Suicide Squad)Joaquin Phoenix...

Sometimes you ever know what the best-reviewed films of the year will be. And right now, one of them is The Wild Robot, the rare original film that DreamWorks was able to shimmy in between their Trolls, Kung Fu Panda and Shrek movies. But, taking a cue from these franchises, the studio has greenlit a sequel even though The Wild Robot has only been out for two weeks.
Now, The Wild Robot has already crossed $110 million worldwide, with the bulk coming domestically. With that, we shouldn’t be surprised that a sequel for The Wild Robot is moving forward. This was all confirmed by director Chris Sanders, who said, “100% yes there are absolutely plans for a second one.” Details are obviously vague or nonexistent at this point but that’s still encouraging.
