Rogue One Reviews: Is The Force With This Star Wars Story?

The social media buzz over the latest Star Wars offering, Rogue One, may not be quite what it was for last year’s The Force Awakens, but we suppose that’s to be expected.


After all, that film not marked the beloved franchise’s return to theaters after a ten-year absence, it had trusted sequel and reboot architect J.J. Abrams at the helm.


And it didn’t hurt that TFA was the next installment of an ongoing saga, whereas Rogue One is something else entirely …



The Gareth Edwards-directed film has been described as more of a spinoff than a proper sequel, tonally different from the rest of the franchise, as it offers a view of the rebels as a gritty band of guerillas.


Does the risk pay off?


Well, here’s what some top critics have to say:



A tense, well-made spacefaring war movie about a desperate and demoralized band of insurgents standing up against a rising authoritarian regime.” – Chris Klimek, NPR


Except for a few jocose, fan-serving moments, the movie is a dour affair, lacking the charm and chills of J.J. Abrams’s spirited Star Wars: The Force Awakens, not to mention George Lucas’s founding trilogy.” – Leah Pickett, Chicago Reader


The good news is that Edwards’ effort to make a storm-the-beach war film produces a tense third act that earns most of its big moments and also justifies much of what’s come before.” – Matthew Lickona, San Diego Reader


Rogue One does a great job of walking the fine line between being a Star Wars film and not feeling like any other Star Wars film.” – Matt Neal, The Standard 


“The movie didn’t rekindle the thrill of seeing, say, The Empire Strikes Back, but Rogue One will loom pretty large in the Star Wars galaxy – if only because there’s so little competition.” – David Edelstein, New York Magazine



As evidenced by its 85% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes, the is doing well with critics overall, but falls short of the standard set by TFA.


Still, it seems that Star Wars obsessives but this darker vision of their favorite far away galaxy.

Kylie Jenner: Did Kris Jenner FORCE Her to Make Up With Blac Chyna?

It’s been four days since Kylie Jenner and Blac Chyna announced their friendship and tried to convince their fans that that whole “feud” business was just some sort of prank or social experiment or something.


Fortunately, the world appears to be smarter than Kylie and Blac give it credit for because absolutely no one is buying it.



Even Tyga isn’t buying this new friendship and it’s comprised of his current girlfriend and his baby mama, so he’d probably know if they’d been secret besties for the past two years.


So what’s really going on here?


Well, not surprisingly there are a lot of theories to the effect that the two Instagram queens were coerced into burying the hatchet in order to make everyone else’s lives easier.


After all, their lives are so intertwined at this point that Kylie and Blac might be going from romantic rivals to sisters-in-law, so continuing the beef would just make or a lot of headaches for everyone in their circle.


Some folks say Kim Kardashian forced Kylie and Blac to call a truce, but that would require Kim to care about something other than herself and her selfies, and that’s just not her M.O.


Much more plausible is the theory that it was Kris Jenner who’s pushing these two together, as not only does a Kylie-Blac friendship make her life easier, there may be a chance to turn a profit from it. 


“Kylie is absolutely lying about being best friends with Blac all along,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online.


“These photos and Snapchats were the first time the two of them have been in the same room, and everyone knows it.”


So what compelled the longtime foes to finally meet? Kris Jenner’s insatiable greed, of course!


“Kris Jenner forced Kylie to make nice because Blac is being written into next season of the show,” says the insider.


So there you have it.


The Kardashian-Jenner clan is about as authentic as professional wrestling, and Kris Jenner just created a new tag team.

Blac Chyna: Did She FORCE Rob Kardashian to Propose? Is She After His Family"s Fortune?!

As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian are engaged after a whirlwind, random-as-hell courtship of less than three months.



Despite the complications caused by the fact that Rob’s sister is dating Blac’s baby daddy, it wasn’t hard to see what the two twenty-somethings saw in each other.


Blac is a curvy Instagram model and a household name in some circles.


Rob is a member of one of America’s most famous families, flush with cash, and loaded with fixer-up potential.


We figured Blac is the type who likes a challenge, and that these two would help each other out for a few months, post a bunch of nauseatingly cutesy crap on social media, and go their separate ways.


When news of the engagement first began to circulate online, many on social media dismissed it as another publicity stunt from the celebrity world’s most unashamedly thirsty couple.


When Blac confirmed the news, the conversation switched to “what the hell are these two thinking?”


Sure they’re young, but not “engaged after ten weeks” young.


Rob will be 30 next year, and Blac, 27, is the mother of a 3-year-old.



Given that Rob was in a pitiable state when he met Blac and will enjoy the benefits of fabulous wealth and at least a modicum of fame for the rest of his life, many began to wonder if Blac had ulterior motives.


After all, when they these two started dating, Rob was a recluse who seemed to be slowly killing himself with food, drugs, and a sedentary lifestyle.


Despite his wealth and fame, his self-esteem, by all accounts, was in the gutter.


For the right opportunist, Rob was ripe for the picking, and considering Blac’s fame has been primarily Kardashian-related for most of her career (She was friends with Kim before feuding with Kylie.), it’s hard to believe the fringe benefits of dating Rob never crossed her mind.


Already there’s talk of a Rob and Blac reality show, and a special wedding episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.


Not bad for a woman who was best known for trading shots with a teenager just a few months ago.


There’s no solid evidence that Blac is into Rob for his fame and wealth, or that getting married was her idea; we just hope the man is going into this situation with both eyes open.

Kris Jenner: Her Bizarre Trick to Force Kylie and Rob To Make Up

Ah, moms.  They’ll do just about anything to make sure there’s no animosity between their children.



When your family has made a bunch of money from creating products, you use said products to bring everyone together.


Kris Jenner is so over Kylie Jenner fighting with Rob Kardashian over his relationship with Blac Chyna, but she’s also a savvy business woman.


“Kris is forcing the two of them to make up for the sake of the show,” a source told Radar Online.


The youngest jenner is putting together 50 “Valentine’s Day Kraft Kits by Kylie’ for patients at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, so “Kris made Kylie include Rob’s sock line, Arthur George, as part of her Valentine’s Day packages,” a source said.


Whether or not she put up a fight is anyone’s guess, but Kylie did include items from Rob’s business in the bags.


 “She had no other choice,” the source added.


This however, may not help the cause.  In fact, Kylie might be pissed that she had to promote her estranged brother’s own endeavors.


“Kris has tried several times to get Rob and Kylie together to discuss the situation, but neither of them want any part of it,” the source told the site.


Oh, and it looks like Rob resents Kylie big time.


“Rob thinks that Kylie is everything that is wrong with their family.


“He also feels that the fact that Kylie really feels that the fact he got together with Blac Chyna has anything to do with her just goes to show how egotistical she really is.”

The Force is Very Strong with This British Meteorologist

As previously documented, Chrissy Teigen is a terrible meteorologist.


But the woman featured in the following video is awesome!


Just like previous males and females in her profession who clearly have a love for pop culture (e.g. the traffic reporter who parodied Let It Go), this lady has used the ongoing Star Wars craze to go viral.


For all the right reasons.


In just 40 seconds, she manages to make endless Star Wars references, all while somehow keeping a straight face.


"Don"t be a trooper. Please take care on the roads. Could be difficult driving conditions," she warns at one point, later adding:


"Now, if you"re forced to awaken early tomorrow morning, it will be on the dark side, but as you can see fairly mild."


Amazing, no?


And this was how our new favorite weather woman person on the planet concluded her report:


Far, far away towards the southeast of England, there is a new hope for sunshine developing in the afternoon.


We"re not wearing a hat at the moment.


If we were, however, we"d be taking it off in absolute awe of this meteorologist. She deserves the biggest raise her network can afford.


The force is very strong with this british meteorologist

Star Wars: The Force Awakens: 9 Crazy Fan Theories!


Unless you just emerged from the Sarlacc Pit, you probably know that we"re less than a week away from the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.


You might also be aware that the franchise has been known to inspire just a smidge of obsessive devotion from fans, which means the Internet has been a breeding ground for wild speculation about the new film ever since the first trailer debuted last year.


Some of the theories are totally plausible. (It"s entirely possible, for example that Luke Skywalker has been left out of the film"s marketing campaign because J.J. Abrams and company don"t want to reveal that he"s gone to the Dark Side.)


Others are wackier than the Mos Eisley Cantina at last call on singles" night.


We"ve assembled a decent mix here, but we"ve mostly focused on the weird ones, because, c"mon…you"re so close to the big day, you don"t really want to be hit with any spoilers now, do you?


Imagine if someone told you that Vader was Luke"s father right before you saw The Empire Strikes Back!


Sorry, if we ruined that for you, but we have a strict policy here at THG: No advance spoiler warnings on movies that are old enough to run for president.




1. Finn is the Son of Lando Calrissian…and Princess Leia


John boyega in star wars

No one’s quite sure how the theory that John Boyega’s character is the son of Lando Calrissian and Princess, excuse us…GENERAL Leia, but you can blame J.J. Abrams for fanning the flames on this one. Asked about Finn’s lineage in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the director responded, “I will only say about that that it is completely intentional that their last names aren’t public record.” Hmm…could be something to this one.



2. Luke Skywalker is Kylo Ren


Luke skywalker is kylo ren

The latest trailers show Kylo Ren pledging to his allegiance to Darth Vader’s battered helmet. Luke isn’t seen in any of the trailers and he Is Vader’s son, so…eh, we’re not buying it.



3. Boba Fett is Back!


Boba fett photo

Die hard fans have noticed that the first trailer features a banner with a Mandalorian insignia. The franchise’s most badass bounty hunter just happens to hail from Mandalore. Of course, even if he shows up, he probably end up not doing jack squat again.



4. You Can Watch The First Two Minutes Online!


Star wars the force awakens opening scene

Some fans believe that a completed cut of the first two minutes of the film has leaked online. The fact that there’s a typo in the iconic text crawl leads us to believe they’re mistaken.



5. Han Solo Dies!


Harrison ford as han solo photo

This one’s not actually all that ridiculous. We could easily imagine Han going out in some noble fashion. After all, we can’t imagine Harrison Ford signing on for endless sequels. It would be tragic, but less horrific than if…



6. Chewbacca Dies!


Chewbacca dies

The first trailer showed a grieving Rey in the same frame as a tuft of hair. Is it Chewie?! Could be! Of course, it also be come random Wookie.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens New Trailer: Spoiler Alert?

As you may have heard from your friends, family, neighbors and approximately 47,000 product tie-in commercials (Seriously, we"re waiting for the reveal that Fan Duel is controlled by the Sith.), the theatrical release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens is just around the corner.


We"ve seen about a half-dozen different Force Awakens trailers at this point, and with just one week left until the premiere you might think that J.J. Abrams and company won"t be giving away any more info about the most-hyped movie since…well, since the last Star Wars trilogy.


Indeed, it looks as though the plan was to withhold any further information until December 18, and your nerdiest Facebook friend will post a 14,000-word plot summary on Facebook.


Unfortunately, Disney, Lucasfilm, et al were overruled by…a Chinese boy band?


Yes, China is on track to surpass the US as the world"s largest movie market by 2017. As such, there are many, many people in the Far East who have a lot invested in the success of the Star Wars film.


Marketing works a bit differently over there, which explains this new Chinese trailer released today.


For starters, it"s introduced by a singer from a Chinese boy band that recently released a Star Wars-themed single entitled "Lightsaber."


Additionally, it appears that Chinese audiences aren"t as concerned about spoilers as Americans are, because this clip contains lots of  footage and dialogue that had previously been kept under wraps.


So if you"re not big on surprises, enjoy!


However, if you want to wait another week to find out what the deal is with Kylo Ren, just watch the hilarious Force Awakens Honest Trailer again. It never gets old.

Star Wars The Force Awakens: NEW FOOTAGE!

We don"t want to get overly excited.


We want to remain calm and keep perspective and not prove that this Honest Trailer has us pegged perfectly, but… well.. we can"t help it:


NEW FOOTAGE FROM STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS IS HERE!!!!!!!


That feels worthy of all capital letters, don"t you think?


This Japanese preview begins in the same way as a previous Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer, with Daisy Ridley’s Rey on the plant of Jakku.


Unlike earlier sneak peeks at the film, however, the focus in this case is on Rey’s companionship with the droid BB-8, who we see and here doing plenty of endearing R2D2-esque beeping and chirping.


My, how we"ve missed those sounds.


Via narration, we then hear the pirate Maz Kanata (played by the amazing Lupita Nyong’o, who we’re yet to see in any trailer) asking Rey questions about her identity, one of which prompts a fascinating response:


“I know all about waiting. For my family.”


Hmmm… sounds a bit like Rey – long speculated by fans to be the daughter of Luke Skywalker or Princess Leia – was abandoned on Jakku for some reason.


But what"s the reason? Who is she, exactly? Oh, and is it December 18 yet?!?


Check out the new preview to also see John Boyega’s controversial Stormtrooper Finn watching the horizon as TIE fighters come in, seemingly intent on destroying Rey"s home planet.


But enough from us, right? Watch the trailer now and begin to formulate your own theories.

Non-football fans around the nation were tuned in to ESPN on Monday night.


To see whether the Giants could defeat the Eagles and settle in to first place in the NFC East? Not quite.


But to view the final, official, full-length trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which aired at halftime… and which did not disappoint.


The footage opens with a question (“Who are you?”) and an answer from Daisy Ridley’s Rey: “I’m no one.”

“Nothing will stand in our way. I will finish what I started.”


There’s Han Solo, confirming all the stories about the dark side and the Jedi. And there’s Princess Leia giving him a hug.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Poster Hints at New Death Star

The Force may not awaken for another two months, but the Disney promotional machine is officially in overdrive.


At halftime of tonight’s Giants-Eagles matchup, fans will be treated to a new Star Wars Episode VII trailer.



And ahead of this milestone event, the studio has unveiled a juicy new poster for the year’s most anticipated movie.


Among the highlights:


  • Brand new heroes Rey, Finn (holding Anakin Skywalker’s lightsaber!) and Poe Dameron in pilot gear.

  • A fresh look at their adversaries in the First Order, chiefly the blade-wielding Kylo Ren and the chromed-out Captain Phasma.

  • Long-time favorites Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and R2-D2, along with our first look at a returning Carrie Fisher and a new hairdo for Princess Leia.

  • Even more intriguing than that? Look up in the right corner… amidst the battling X-wings, TIE fighters and Star Destroyers… doesn’t that planet-shaped weapon appear to be the latest evolution in Death Star technology?!?

A limited number of Star Wars: The Force Awakens tickets will actually go on sale Monday night, while the trailer will hit your small screen around 10 p.m. EST.


So get ready for Star Wars: The Force Awakens to be released on December… but get set to be even more excited for it in a few hours.
