I see what you have done and it is worthy of plaudits.

Presumably only Jeff Bezos’ bank account.

I was hoping for Anna Kendrick, though it depends what age they want to make Doreen.

“Tom Waits as Bullock.”

I really loved Farrell in that film. When the Johnny Depp reveal hit I was so disappointed. Farrell has such intensity; he was the perfect foil to a more whimsical Newt Scamander.

The sixth film is my favorite of the bunch for exactly those reasons. You can tell the cast is having a blast with the lighter tone, too.

So, like, is there a plan for where the readership can reconvene when they inevitably, tragically, run this place into the ground? What blog becomes the new io9?

Great worldbuilding!  I kinda want to use this name for Arya all the time now. 

This is the spin-off I want to see.  Sheev Palpatine as the passive-aggressive jerk in your office: A Star Wars Story.

Best ride ever.

I would imagine aside from a couple of big, predictable twists, it’ll be a pretty by-the-numbers Star Wars film. Disney and Lucasfilm will want something accessible; Last Jedi was a bit more philosophical and presumably the brass want a feel-good hit on this one. A straightforward adventure without complex plotting…

I agree with you on the Han scene. I think it was also hampered by the fact most of us saw it coming before even seeing the movie due to Ford’s very public feelings about the character.

There are things JJ Abrams does well and things he does not, like all directors.

This article is immediately in the io9 Hall of Fame.

Bernadette Peters has joined the cast of Riverdale’s musical spinoff series, Katy Keene, as Ms. Freesia, “a wealthy Upper East sider who secured her luxurious lifestyle through cunning means and is actively forming Pepper in her fabulous image.”

Bizarro am very not glad for being TV star!

Possibly modifying Threepio for an undercover mission into the First Order? Red = Evil in Star Wars, so it’s the perfect disguise. 

Thank you for the context and the link! Fascinating. 

One of the things I loved about Katarn’s story is that he’s already a fully-formed adult, with all the accompanying experience and baggage, long before he starts down the Jedi path.
