Rogue One (Teaser Trailer)
Aw, yeah! Behold the first teaser for the next Star Wars movie – and the first “anthology” chapter to not have an episode number. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story takes place in roughly the same era as Star Wars Rebels, but closer to Episode IV: A New Hope. Remember when Darth Vader referred to the stolen Death Star plans and casually said, “There will be no one to stop us this time.” He was probably...
The Force Awakens announces home media dates
After weeks of rumors, Lucasfilm has officially announced the release dates of the home media versions of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, now with a shiny new video! The Digital HD will drop April 1st, and you can get your hands on a physical disc April 5th. Personally, we think they should have gone for the last big box office push to get the domestic take over a billion dollars by dropping the Rogue One trailer at the top. But it...
The 12 Days of Star Wars: Day Eleven
I woke up this morning and drank my coffee out of my Star Wars cup. I showered and got dressed in my Millenium Falcom t-shirt. I put on my Empire Strikes Back vans and now I’m waiting for my brother-in-law to pick me up and take us to San Francisco to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens. We will be in line around 4 hours early, my and my fellow nerds. I am in full movie geek mode and couldn’t be more stoked. But this week has been...
The 12 Days of Star Wars: Day Ten – The Force Awakens (Review)
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… It’s almost surreal to see those words grace the screen after so many years, so many bad prequels, and crushing anticipation for The Force Awakens. It takes a moment to read “Episode VII” in the opening scroll and deliberately put aside two years’ worth of reports, speculation, and think-pieces about what this film is about. There it is. “Luke Skywalker is missing.” And that’s...
The 12 Days of Star Wars: Day Seven
As any Star Wars fan worth his Midichlorians will tell you, the release of the original Star Wars back in 1977 kicked off the grand era of the movie tie in merchandising, with enough licensed toys, games, costumes, etc. to fill the Death Star. Of course, you can go back to the late ‘60s and early ‘70s to find tie-in toys for the original Star Trek series, many of which I had, like the infamous choke-hazard mega-toy, the Star Trek...
The 12 Days of Star Wars: Day Six
As we count down to The Force Awakens, there are a million think pieces across the interwebs about what Star Wars has meant to fans for the past four decades. Here at Flick Nation, the conversation has been a fun one as we recall toys, first-time viewing experiences, and the like. But here is an enduring aspect of the Star Wars experience that people tend to forget about: how many times we have purchased the damn things! A few days...
