With Disney planning on releasing a newStar Warsfilm every year for the foreseeable future, one such movie the fans have been asking for has been the stand aloneBoba Fettmovie, rumored to be directed byJosh Trank. Now, EW has confirmed that the film was far enough along thatDisney and Lucasfilm even had a teaser ready to screen at Star Wars Celebration 2015in order to officially announce the project.

Hey Collider Crew,
Thanks to your nifty video, I now know how Oscar nominations work, but where does Oscar Buzz come from? For examplePassengers,Silence,Hacksaw Ridge,Manchester by the Sea, andArrival, are all films that have had Oscar Buzz before their release.
Sometimes these “Oscar buzzed” films don’t even get good reviews or even end up with more than a few technical nominations. (Looking at youUnbroken.)
Is this a studio thing? A critic thing? Who’s making these claims, and more importantly why do we buy into it all the time? Thanks!

Hi people,
Do you think that the reason why the MCU have weak villains, is because Marvel want their heroes to shine, instead of the villains taking away screen time from the heroes? Thanks.
