By JK Schmidt - March 7, 2018 06:37 pm EST Share 4 Comments 4 With aggregated review sites like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic impacting movies' successes, so too comes the downside of user engagement in the age of the Internet. Both Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Black Panther were subject to campaigns from people who wanted to put a dent in their success before the films even hit theaters, for slights perceived or otherwise. Actor John Boyega addressed that issue during an interview with Huffington Post, being asked what he thought about campaigns to tank the movie's scores on Rotten Tomatoes. "I would say that they need to definitely get job applications to utilize their time for a much more suitable thing," said Boyega. "I think they’re too bored. We need to get more people working for their jobs, man. I think like, don’t you have a family? And time? I don’t understand it." Boyega was directly referencing users of a Facebook group that … [Read more...] about Star Wars: John Boyega Responds to Group That Attacked ‘The Last Jedi’ on Rotten Tomatoes

By JK Schmidt - April 15, 2018 08:03 pm EDT Share 3 Comments 3 The latest film in the Star Wars saga was packed with a lot of unique developments and new elements for the franchise, and star Mark Hamill likes to joke that it includes something no other film in the saga has ever had. While speaking with Games Radar, the Luke Skywalker actor had a laugh in saying writer and director Rian Johnson gave Star Wars its first "sex scene." Hamill was referring to the scene in which Rey and Kylo Ren communicate with the Force, culminating with them sensually touching hands. "I even said it to Rian, ‘When you have the fingers do this… [mimes touching hands] that’s the first sex scene in Star Wars!’ I said, ‘I didn’t get to touch a finger!

By Patrick Cavanaugh - April 13, 2018 09:36 pm EDT Share 3 Comments 3 Many fans loved writer/director Rian Johnson's approach to the Star Wars saga with The Last Jedi, though that hasn't stopped a vocal minority from angrily criticizing it for the last few months for a variety of reasons. One point that some fans seem to harp on is Supreme Leader Snoke's death at the hands of Kylo Ren, as they had spent the past two years trying to conjure up a backstory for the character that Johnson proved was ultimately a waste of time. Even star Mark Hamill doesn't understand why fans are upset, as he knew the "Supreme Leader" was irrelevant in the story the saga was telling. “I relate to the fans because I’m a fan myself," Hamill shared with Games Radar. "I understand that they have a deep investment, a sense of ownership, because I do too and the problem is, you just can’t please everyone… I was surprised everyone was so upset that they got rid of … [Read more...] about Star Wars: Mark Hamill “Surprised” By People Upset With Snoke’s ‘The Last Jedi’ Fate
