6 Possible Star Wars Netflix Shows

The success of Daredevil, Jessica Jones and hopefully the rest of the Netflix Defenders has got me thinking: Why not mimic this success for Star Wars? This was definitely an experimental move for Marvel and Disney, but I’d like to think it’s paying off. And Disney clearly has no plans to ever end their series of Star Was entertainment. We’ll have a new movie and a new spin-off movie every year from now on, not to mention all the cartoons and books and video games we could ever possibly want. That’s just life from now on.

So what if Disney started making a bunch of live action, prestige Star Wars shows for Neflix?

What’s to stop them? An article I saw the other day pointed out the very real fact that few of us will live to see the final Star Wars movie. Disney will outlive us all, and they will continue making Star Wars products from now until the end of time. Rather than be angry with this, I will embrace the inevitable and brainstorm some awesome TV show ideas! Join me after the jump!

And So the Star Wars Parodies Continue

We’re only a few short weeks away from the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and sure enough, all our favorite parody sites are getting in on the act! Honest Trailers knocked around A New Hope the other day, and now it’s time for the rest to start their no doubt massive preparations!

First up, here’s Everything Wrong With A New Hope.

And here is how Attack of the Clones should have ended!

Good times, people. We’re in for some quality comedic takedowns!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/21/15

This is the week. There are a lot of good comics out this week, and I wish I’d found the time to get to even more of them, but this week is special because of the return of two of my favorite comics: Ms. Marvel and The Mighty Thor! These are some of the best in the industry right now, and their returns are most welcome!

But surprisingly, Comic Book of the Week goes to Astonishing Ant-Man #2! Another one of Marvel’s gems, the new issue of Ant-Man delivers a wonderfully entertaining issue that edges out the two more hotly anticipated comics because of the return of a recent favorite character of mine!

Let’s welcome back Miss Thing!

Many happy returns!

And as a special bonus later today, tune in to the Geekamole Youtube channel this afternoon as I join frequent Henchman commenter Maus Merryjest for his weekly pop culture podcast! We talk about Teen Titans, Iceman and much more! If you’ve ever wanted to listen to me talk about comics instead of reading them, now is your chance.

Doubly also, we’ve got some big Gamer Girl & Vixen news coming soon! And if you helped out my Kickstarter last summer, then your comics should be arriving very soon!

Comic Reviews: Astonishing Ant-Man #2, Huck #1, Mighty Thor #1, Ms. Marvel #1, Spider-Woman #1, Titans Hunt #2 and Vader Down #1.

Let’s All Get Honest About Star Wars for a Second

All of the great Internet movie parody groups — from Honest Trailers to Cinema Sins — have about a month left to do all of the Star Wars movies in the build-up to The Force Awakens. The Screen Junkies kicked things off this week with the Honest Trailer for A New Hope!

It’s amazing anytime somebody can find something new to say about Star Wars, but such is the power and awesomeness of the movies. But the most important thing is that we’re less than a month away from The Force Awakens!

Star Wars: Battlefront gameplay footage

Here you are, you mongrels. Scraps of gameplay footage from Star Wars: Battlefront, which will be released November 17. On the one hand, I’m optimistic. On the other, Electronic Arts has fallen to the dark side more than once.
