2019 is set to be the biggest year ever for the Star Wars franchise, which makes the next edition of Star Wars Celebration a pretty big deal in its own right. And to get fans hyped for the April event, the festival has now released a vibrant new poster that manages to pack a whole lot of history into a single image, putting several generations of heroes on the left while the various major villains sit on the right.
Moreover, the festival is said offer a generous array of guests, including Celebration newcomer Joonas Suotamo, known for playing Chewbacca in The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and Solo: A Star Wars Story. Also attending will be Sam Witwer, who’s provided the voice of Maul in various animated projects, as well as last year’s Solo in a surprise last-minute cameo.

Peter Capaldi is far from the only Doctor Who actor to appear in multiple roles. Mark talks us through the many others to have done so...
It's been just over a year since the BBC announced that Peter Capaldi would play the Twelfth Doctor. There were rumblings of his casting in the week before the announcement was made, to the point where bookies stopped taking bets on it.
We've spent the last twelve months in anticipation of what seems like dream casting for the Time Lord, but some of us were a little sceptical that an actor of his profile and standing would take the role until it was actually announced, but “he's been in it before” was not atop the list of reasons why we thought it was too good to be true.
Over the course of 50 years, Doctor Who has inevitably reused actors as different characters- there are...

To mark the launch of its new game, Stratego Sci-Fi has surveyed more than 2,000 Britons to chart the Stratego Sci-Fi 100 – the nation’s top 100 stars of the sci-fi world – as well as a separate poll charting the best sci-fi battles from the silver screen – and has crowned Superman the greatest sci-fi character of all time
Following up the Man of Steel in 2nd place in the Stratego Sci-Fi 100 was Harrison Ford’s gruff but lovable rogue Han Solo, with Frank Oz’s jedi master Yoda coming third, both representing Star Wars in the top three and rounding it out firmly in George Lucas’ favour. Steven Spielberg’s E.T may be one of the most lovable characters of all time, but only made it to fourth in the list, followed by Will Smith’s Agent Jay from the hugely popular Men in Black series at number five.

Idris's (Suranne Jones) body is empty and she is given a new soul. a Time Lord is coming. Rory (Arthur Darvill) comments Amy (Karen Gillan) is still thinking of the fate awaiting the Doctor (Matt Smith). There's a knock on the Tardis's door and a glowing box of light enters. Doctor; "I've got mail!" The box is a Time Lord emergency message system. When there's an emergency, the Time Lords wrap their thoughts in a "psychic container and send them through time and space." There's a good, living Time Lord out there. Yes but the Doctor himself was the one who killed them all. They're not going to the universe and the Doctor notices the mark of the snake, Corsair had that tattoo in every regeneration. They leave the universe to be outside the universe, somewhere he's never been. The Tardis's power drains - the soul of the Tardis - the matrix - has vanished.

With appearances from Twilight’s Edi Gathegi and Tyson Houseman, Being Human’s Russell Tovey and Aiden Turner and of course Doctor Who’s Paul Kasey it seems this year’s London Film and Comic Con gathering was somewhat of a sausage fest.
But as the creators from the Screen Team Show on YouTube have pointed out, it’s not all about the men at these festivals. Women have a huge effect on the audience.

After all, we did have appearances from Terminator 3’s Kristanna Loken and Being Human’s gorgeous ghost Lenora Crichlow. So remember, next year (15th, 16th & 17th July) lets make it one for the girls!
