Star Wars TV Show? What Can We Expect?

Live action Star Wars television is no new thing. Back in the 80s, there were the Ewok television specials which chronicled the inexplicable adventures of some Ewoks and some human children. Droves of people tuned in each week to figure out the central mystery: who was creepier, the Ewoks or the children? It was after the release of the last Star Wars prequel, Revenge of the Sith, that we started hearing rumours of a new Star Wars television series. This made sense because, if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that George Lucas never misses an opportunity to make a profit/please his fans.  

The Terrifying World Of Drones

Drones – they’re terrifying, aren’t they? Little remote-controlled aircraft flying about the place, blowing stuff up, watching things… There could be a drone watching you right now!

Drones strike terror into the hearts of people but they couldn’t have had more whimsical beginnings. The first drone creators were dreamers, the sort of men who looked at air balloons and thought: “Hey, you know what’d be better than flying in this thing? Strapping bombs to it and sending it at people!” Which is exactly what they did. Of course, the problem with that was that it was an air balloon. A gust of wind or a man with a particularly long prodding stick sent it hurtling back to base, right on the heads of its unfortunate creators.

Star Trek vs Star Trek

Star Trek Into Darkness is out this week and… What? People are actually looking forward to it?? Praise Rodenberry, it’s a Star Trek miracle! It’s not an exaggeration to say there hasn’t been much interest in a Star Trek film, since, well, the one where the crew had to rescue the whales. Since the sea mammals, the Original Series had a break in interest for about twenty or thirty years and then J. J Abrams picked it up to give the crew a new lease of life.
