Mark Hamill Regrets His The Last Jedi Criticisms
Mark Hamill regrets criticizing The Last Jedi's portrayal of Luke Skywalker.
In several interviews throughout The Last Jedi's press tour, Hamill revealed he didn't quite agree with how writer-director Rian Johnson handled Luke in the film. However, Hamill has now issued an apology on Twitter saying he should have kept his thoughts and doubts private.
"I regret voicing my doubts & insecurities in public," Hamill tweeted. "Creative differences are a common element of any project but usually remain private. All I wanted was to make good movie. I got more than that- @rianjohnson made an all-time GREAT one! #HumbledHamill"

A History of Game Industry Screwups
The game industry never goes without a controversy for long. The latest one concerns Electronic Arts, now in the crosshairs over pay-to-win lootbox features in Star Wars: Battlefront 2. Yet Josef Fares, director of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and the upcoming EA-backed A Way Out, offered a modest defense for EA at the recent Game Awards: “All publishers f*** up.”
He’s right, of course. No major game company has an entirely spotless record. The industry’s most popular names all made mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes spelled doom. Others were just bumps in the road. We packed together the biggest blunders of the biggest game publishers past and present to see just how they bounced back— or didn’t.
A History of Game Industry Screwups
The game industry never goes without a controversy for long. The latest one concerns Bethesda is suing Westworld game developer Behaviour Interactive and publisher Warner Bros, claiming Behaviour stole its designs, artwork, and coding, and used them in the mobile app. Bethesda goes as far as to claim that bugs appear in the Westworld mobile game which were evident in the early development of Fallout Shelter.
This is just one of the many times in gaming history that a company has unceremoniously dropped the ball. The industry’s most popular names all made mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes spelled doom. Others were just bumps in the road. We packed together the biggest blunders of the biggest game publishers past and present to see just how they bounced back— or didn’t.
Remembering the Star Trek Show That Never Was
Captain James T. Kirk announces at the head of every episode of the original Star Trek that the Enterprise is on a five-year mission. After three years, however, the show was canceled. We did get an additional two years in 1973 with the airing of Star Trek: The Animated Series, but only the most hardcore of Trekkies consider that show to be fully canonical (even the franchise's handlers consider it to be “semi-canon”). It wasn't until the late 1970s, when Star Trek was being run in endless syndication, that the show really began to sink its hooks into the pop culture fabric. Fans began assembling in hotel ballrooms as early as January 1972 to celebrate Star Trek, a practice that was, essentially, the invention of pop-culture conventions as we know them.

Now’s the Perfect Time for Fantastic 4 to Join the MCU
Comic books are complicated. Superhero movie aren't much better. They're an intertwining mess of moving plotlines, changing contracts, and shifting alliances, and that's just talking about the business dealings behind the scenes. On camera, worlds can end in one film and five-second stingers can blow out into entire universes. Trying to work in a new host of characters and concepts can be a headache.
Lucky for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the cosmos is in sync and the stars are aligning. Disney has purchased Fox, bringing a ton of assets along for the ride. That includes Marvel's First Family, the Fantastic Four. And there couldn't be a better time for it to happen. It's sure to bust up some plans, result in a couple of cancelled flicks that started life under Fox, but the moment is right for this merger to begin.
