See Nolan and Trevorrow’s Sundance Talk
During this year's Sundance Film Festival, a group of respected filmmakers—including directors Christopher Nolan and Colin Trevorrow, as well as cinematographer Rachel Morrison—discussed the value of shooting on traditional film during a 90-minute talk, titled "Power of Story: The Art of Film."
Sundance has since released a video of that talk, during which Trevorrow revealed plans to shoot Star Wars -- Episode IX on film rather than using digital cameras. The group also tackled the topic of piracy and discussed film school. Watch the full discussion here:
During the festival, Trevorrow also revealed that he wants to film parts of Episode IX in space. In fact, he's already approached Disney and Lucasfilm about the possibility, but has yet to receive a response.
Wrestling Wrap Up: Dean Ambrose Confronts Brock Lesnar
Happy Groundhog Day, you Bill Murray-worshiping Ned Ryersons!
We've got a butt-ton to cover this week so let's dive in. RAW worked its booty off to set up the wonky(ish) Fastlane main event featuring Lesnar, Ambrose, and Reigns. Including a big final segment bout that included a New Day beatdown and Brock nailing Ambrose with a colossal F-5. I mean, we're not going to get out of Reigns vs. Triple H at 'Mania at this point, right? All hopes of Dean taking this thing should probably be squashed to dust right now (though I shall cling cling cling until my knuckles ache), but - man - even a broad, family crowd like Monday's RAW still booed Roman after the hot tag. The goddamn hot tag! And while Hunter can surely bring out his inner heel and troll the IWC for heat, I still can't see him getting more heat than Reigns come WrestleMania. The percentage of "Anyone But Reigns"-ers will be too high there.

Opinion: Erase the Prequels, Keep Darth Maul
If you haven’t watched the new trailer for Star Wars Rebels, you really should. There’s all kinds of crazy stuff happening, like a green Kylo Ren lightsaber, a Princess Leia cameo, and the surprising return of Darth Maul.
Darth Maul was a triumphant marketing gimmick. Weeks before Episode I premiered, he was already a star. The Sith Lord’s intense gaze, tattooed face, horned brow, and double bladed lightsaber were plastered over every pre-release promo and had us convinced that this was a villain worthy of Darth Vader’s legendary legacy.
Then the Phantom Menace hit theaters, and while Darth Maul spun most impressively, he fell absolutely flat as a character. In the entirety of Episode 1 he spoke a total of three lines. And despite all that flipping and kicking, he lasted only a few minutes against Obi-Wan Kenobi. The dark Lord was bisected and fell down a giant hole.
