Lucasfilm is gifting its fans two presents this holiday season: new episodes of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew on both Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. On the one hand, it’s awesome because many of us are home and able to watch. On the other hand, it’s a bit less awesome if you write about the show for work and aren’t working those days. So, that’s why this week’s recap—and next week’s—will be a day late. Our apologies. But we like to think of those days off as a visit to...

The past decade of Star Wars has been… a lot: interesting, thrilling, exhausting, disappointing. You pick a descriptor, and it could probably apply at any point after The Force Awakens revitalized the franchise, the two spinoff movies did what they could, and The Last Jedi tried to take new swings. What one word describes The Rise of Skywalker in the cleanest, most charitable way? How about “compromised”? Rise of Skywalker released in theaters on December 20, 2019, and back then, all eyes were on it. This was a movie in...

"Breaking News," the image read, "Crashed drone in Orange Beach retrieved from water, and taken to undisclosed location for further investigation."

In the ranks of actors piqued by Chris Rock at the Oscars, Will Smith has probably forever claimed first place. But 20 years ago, Jude Law took more of a stiff-upper-lip approach to some undue mockery from the comedian. “If you want Tom Cruise and all you can get is Jude Law, wait! It’s not the same thing,” cracked Rock in his opening monologue at the 2005 Academy Awards. “Who is Jude Law? Why is he in every movie I have seen the last four years?” Later in the ceremony,...

This story contains spoilers for “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” Episode 3. There’s more to At Attin than meets the eye.

holds a special place in Jude Law 's heart. While exclusively speaking to PEOPLE at the D23 Expo, the actor, 51, opened up about how the intergalactic franchise has had a big impact on him since childhood and inspired him to pursue the series.

I mean, Star Wars and the phenomenon of that first film...

As he talked about how he's always been a fan of Star Wars , Luna said the same can't be said about his son Jerónimo, now 16, whom he shares with ex Camila Sodi. "I remember the first time I put on Star Wars for my son and clearly it...

The Star Wars universe continues to expand on streaming television with the release of the first trailer for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew this weekend at Disney's annual D23 Expo. The eight-episode standalone series is set in the same time frame as The Mandalorian and Ahsoka. Executive producer Kathleen Kennedy was intrigued when series co-creator Jon Watts pitched a Star Wars series inspired by the 1985 film The Goonies. (Kennedy had co-produced that film and co-founded Amblin Entertainment.) She told co-creator Christopher Ford that The Goonies hadn't been created specifically for...
