Poe Dameron’s line in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, “Somehow, Palpatine returned,” was apparently added in a reshoot. According to Oscar Isaac, who was tasked with delivering this key bit of exposition, he never considered that it might spark fan backlash and become an internet meme.
Disney budgets continue to skyrocket as box office returns plummet. It was recently alleged that The Walt Disney Company paid screenwriter Scott Z. Burns a seven-figure sum — the highest in Lucasfilm history — for a script that will never be made.
Hollywood’s media elite have struck again — this time, crowning one of the most controversial actresses of 2025 with one of its top honors. Glamour magazine has officially named Rachel Zegler a “Woman of the Year,” alongside fellow internet personality Ms. Rachel, actress Demi Moore, and singer Tyla. But the move is raising eyebrows across the industry, considering Zegler’s year has been defined far more by controversy than achievement.
Some new behind-the-scenes claims about The Hunt for Ben Solo are circulating—and they make the galaxy far, far away sound more like an episode of Succession than Star Wars.
Taylor Sheridan is moving to a new creative home with Universal.
For years, Taylor Sheridan has been the driving force behind Paramount’s streaming success. The writer, director, and showrunner behind Yellowstone built an empire of hit series that practically defined the Paramount brand. From 1883 and 1923 to Mayor of Kingstown, Lioness, Landman, and Tulsa King, Sheridan’s name became synonymous with modern prestige television — a rare combination of critical praise and middle-America appeal.
Disney is moving forward with the demolition of the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island at Magic Kingdom Park in Walt Disney World Resort. In a recent photo posted on X by @bioreconstruct, we see the latest casualty of this transformation — Fort Langhorn.
The internet had one of its rare good days when GameStop and the White House decided to have some fun with memes depicting President Trump as Master Chief in Halo.
Fans have begun to speculate when Magic Kingdom’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade will be filmed. The calendars show the normal daytime parade, Festival of Fantasy, is absent from its daily showing on November 8th and 9th. As in past years, these dates will likely feature filming of the Christmas-themed parade.
Foodies, art lovers, and music fans, get ready. The 2026 edition of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts recently set its 2026 dates.
While doing press for Wake Up Dead Man, the next installment in his ensemble murder mystery franchise, Johnson told Empire Magazine, “That cog will be turning the rest of my life. I love Star Wars.” His last (and so far, only) Star Wars movie, 2017’s The Last Jedi, proved divisive. It currently sits at a 16% “Heinous” score on Criticless with 132 voters.
News broke early Wednesday morning of high-profile arrests related to insider sports betting and rigged poker games with mafia ties — something that sounds more like a Martin Scorsese movie than a headline. And according to ESPN sports journalist Stephen A. Smith, it’s all the revenge of Donald Trump against the NBA.
The Themed Entertainment Attractions report was released for 2024 and Magic Kingdom was, once again, the most visited theme park in the world according to the analysis. However, it wasn’t by much, and now, with some deep investigation into the numbers, there’s something true Disney afficionados (and perhaps investors) just have to see. It turns out, that when we apply the likely calculations TEA is using to determine the attendance, Magic Kingdom actually dropped in per session ticket sales.
Gary Buechler, better known on YouTube as Nerdrotic, said in a pair of posts on X that neither Tatiana Maslany’s She-Hulk nor Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel will be in Avengers: Doomsday. With nearly 30 major and MCU characters already confirmed for the upcoming entry in the massive franchise, the absence of others might be, as Thanos would say, inevitable.
