I mean, they can try but this man was a genius. It’s not an unfair statement to say that Robin Williams is irreplaceable.

Taking place five years before Rogue One and the Battle of Yavin, the first season of Andor changes Star Wars as we know it. Through the years, the Star Wars canon has opened up in ways that audiences could not have imagined. George Lucas certainly could not have dreamed it up even if he tried. We know that Lucas is a great world builder but it’s taken many people to expand on what Star Wars…
"Andor Changes Star Wars As We Know It" With the release of a new trailer and artwork for Andor today, it was also announced that the series would premiere in late September.

Burden tells the story of how one man made the decision to walk away from the KKK with the help of a local religious leader and social activist. Let’s paint a quick picture. The film takes place in Laurens, S.C. in 1996 where racism was very much alive and well. Honestly, it’s brutal to watch at times as there are more than enough moments of discomfort. There are racial slurs throughout the film so I’m…

To put it in simple terms, Black Panther is one of the best Marvel films ever.
