I was honored and quite frankly surprised that Tyler Hummel had me on the pilot of his new podcast AntiSocial Entertainment. We had a fantastic conversation about one of my favorite franchises: Star Wars. We talk about movies, television, and the upcoming High Republic book series. Check out the episode below: From the episode description:…
I have made no secret about my distaste for the pile of steaming mediocrity that became of the Disney Star Wars trilogy under the director of LucasFilm President Kathleen Kennedy, along with movie director JJ Abrams and that other guy Rian Johnson. One of the concepts I have discussed with guests on my podcast StudioJake…
The Rise of Skywalker director J.J. Abrams co-writes this Spider-Man miniseries with his son Henry Adams with art by Sara Pichelli. It presents an alternate future with a retired Peter Parker and his son who is learning what it is like to be the web-slinger. Ben Parker was learning his new abilities and even trying…
Originally, Star Wars Episode IX was supposed to be helmed by Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow before he was released from Kathleen Kennedy and Disney following “creative differences” and was replaced by J.J. Abrams, who directed The Rise Of Skywalker. Recently, Writer-producer-director Robert Meyer Burnett took to YouTube where he shared some leaks about the information of the…
J.J. Abrams and his son Henry Abrams returns to the Marvel Universe, at least in the comic sense, with issue two of their five-part series “Bloodlines.” In the first issue, we saw Peter Parker retire his webs after a being named Cadaverous murdered Mary Jan. Years later in New York, their son Ben develop spider-powers.…
I figured I would share my thoughts on my favorite comic book covers of 2019. This year displayed so much artwork so it was hard to narrow it down. The covers were not limited to just the big companies, but several of the smaller ones showed some incredible talent. In no particular order, here is…
J.J. Abrams takes back the director’s chair of one of the world’s most beloved science fiction franchises with Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise Of Skywalker, Disney’s final entry into the Skywalker Saga. After receiving a transmission that appears to be from the thought-dead Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid), Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) travels to the…
On StudioJake, I discuss the new Disney Plus show ‘The Mandalorian,’ based within the Star Wars franchise. As The Rise Of Skywalker approaches, the anticipation for the film is dropping, not gaining. This is the first time a Star Wars movie has not gained momentum as it approached its theatrical release. With this in mind,…
Disney may have the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the princess films down pat. When it comes to Star Wars, one of the most beloved science fiction franchises of all time, they have really dropped the ball especially when it comes to the leadership of LucasFilms. Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine, LucasFilms President Kathleen Kennedy made…
Star Wars fans received a bit of news regarding a proposed trilogy that would take place in the galaxy far, far away with the news that Game of Thrones television series creators are departing the franchise for different pastures. The Hollywood Reporter explained that the duo GoT David Benioff and D.B. Weiss released a statement saying,…
In one of the most blatant and obvious acts of nepotism, Marvel Comics allowed The Rise of Skywalker director J.J. Abrams to co-write a Spider-Man miniseries with his son Henry Adams with art by Sara Pichelli. A mysterious being called Cadaverous attacks New York City and, despite the best efforts of Spider-Man, Mary Jane is…
Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige is working on a Star Wars project for The Walt Disney Company, co-chairman and chief creative officer Alan Horn confirmed. “We are excited about the projects Kathy and the Lucasfilm team are working on, not only in terms of Star Wars but also Indiana Jones and reaching into other parts…
Despite rumors, J.J. Abrams has yet to fully commit to filming Star Wars Episode VII. He is an excellent director of the sci-fi genre, but I doubt a Star Trek director will go over well with the Star Wars fans. My fear would be he would try to thrown in a few Star Trek references,…
