A short time ago, in a galaxy not so far away, @benstravis.bsky.social and I teamed up to write the latest edition of Empire’s 50 Greatest Star Wars Characters, a list that now spans every era of the Skywalker Saga (and beyond.) Here is that list — punch it! www.empireonline.com/movies/featu...

👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

Episode III on the big screen, for the first time since @avianevans.bsky.social 14th birthday in 2005 🌋

Really need someone to ask her if she felt like a plastic bag

Loved how weird O'Dessa was at first. Frustrated by how much it squanders that potential in the second half. My review for @empiremagazine.bsky.social: www.empireonline.com/movies/revie...

Extra-curricular Disniversity trip to see Snow White (2025) 🍎 (@drsamsummers.bsky.social demanded to sit in seat ‘7D’)

FINALLY

Finally watched Mickey 17 at the weekend (loved it), and am now obsessed with the fact that Bong Joon Ho and Thomas Turgoose know each other

She was in New York with my mom when she was matchmaking rich people right before she died

Me justifying yet another Godzilla movie purchase to my wife:

They closed It's Tough To Be A Bug :( it's officially never been tougher to be a bug

I think we may be extraordinarily back

Living my dream

The Stranger Things kids keep releasing banger music, gonna need Djo and Maya Hawke and Finn Wolfhard to form a super-group: www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4P4...

It's not just #WorldBookDay, it's also my new book's publication day! Please welcome A Quentin Tarantino Dictionary, for all your QT needs or wants.

I continue to be sceptical of everything happening with Scream 7

Had fun coming up with these alongside @hwstainer.bsky.social last week. All worthy winners I'd say

For the first time in years, I’m not staying up for the Oscars. But I’m rooting for ‘Yuck!’ by Charli XCX

Finally, somebody made a

The real Best Picture is right here

Rewatching Avengers: Age Of Ultron (underrated banger) and I completely forgot it briefly has Julie Delpy in it. When do we get a film with her and Ethan Hawke’s Moon Knight villain spending a day walking and talking their way around Sokovia together?

Tried to find the words about The Royal Tenenbaums, Gene Hackman's almost-final role: a gorgeous film which carries an extra resonance today.

Some thoughts on Dawn, and Michelle Trachtenberg 🗝️

File under 'good-weird Star Wars'

Disniversity listeners! Our sort-of-bonus episode on the cursed oddity that is 2006's The Wild is OUT NOW – a Disney film that simultaneously isn't a Disney movie. @drsamsummers.bsky.social and I are joined by pal-of-pod Jon Hornbuckle for this one. Enjoy! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/1...

Bong Joon Ho spent his whole Stephen Colbert interview for #Mickey17 playing with this plush Creeper. Simply no auteur filmmaker is doing it like him.

The Andor trailer absolutely slaps, but notable how the entire teaser is aimed at non-Star Wars fans – general 'prestige TV' lovers who (foolishly) skipped the first season and should be locking into this as glossy, premium event television.

So to be clear, I call you when I break up with Gracie Abrams?

Friday competition time! 🎉 #Marvel's Hawkeye and Loki Season 2, and #StarWars' Ahsoka and The Mandalorian Season 3 are OUT NOW on 4K steelbook. We have sets of all four to give away! To enter: RT, follow Empire, and reply telling us your favourite show of the four... UK entrants only, must be 18+

We appear to be extraordinarily back

Caught up on Smile 2, and it is *incredibly* well-made. Naomi Scott is out of this world. But I can’t wait for Parker Finn to do something other than Smile, which is just monotonously bleak and grim (and, crucially, the ‘rules’ feel ill-defined). He has the juice, but I know he has better material.

In the interest of a wide spread of opinions: I really enjoyed Captain America: Brave New World. I had big reservations going in, but enjoyed the ride, thought the action largely hit, and thought Harrison Ford and Carl Lumbly in particular were *great*. A strong headline debut for Mackie, in my eyes

Who's gonna tell Truffaut they found *600 more* blows? 😬

Had SUCH a good time with #TheGorge, a big blast of a genre mash-up – cool monsters, looks great, has a real heart to it. And great use of the YYYs’ ‘Spitting Off The Edge Of The World’ 💘 Nice one, @scottderrickson.bsky.social

Insane new Tom Cruise ability just dropped 👇🏻

No Gladiators tonight because of the FA Cup, football has made a powerful enemy on this day

What a day to be both a Buffy obsessive, and a long-standing member of the Eternals fan club 🙏🏻

As a piece of pure design, the Darksaber is – canonically – absolutely sick

Lovely, lovely album
