Black Panther is now out! You know what that means. I saw it last night and I have a lot to say. There might be some small spoilerish stuff in this review, so continue at your own risk.

It starts as an interest, then you're a fan, now you're a geek.

When 20th Century Fox rebooted Planet of the Apes in 2001 the movie going audience breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, Planet of the Apes had been returned to it’s former glory and in the capable hands of Tim Burton. But despite the critical success that Apes was, Fox and Burton never moved forward with a sequel. Perhaps they were afraid they would be unable to match the success of the first. That turned out to be a valid concern.
It would appear everybody on the internet is sharing the same single thought: “It’s Finally Here”. During this year’s Star Wars Celebration event in Orlando, Florida, the first teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi was released to the masses. The heart drops, the shivers, and literal goosebumps were all intact for each of my viewings of the trailer (yes, there were many) and now, more than ever, I am absolutely psyched for December.

We've waited a long time for this day. Finally a new entry into the Star Wars saga that could be completely unpredictable. We've had the prequels and we knew going into them what the outcome would be. SPOILERS for the prequels: Anakin would turn into Darth Vader. Obi Wan Kenobi and Yoda would survive. The Skywalker babies (Luke and Leia) would be separated at birth. The surprise and thrill of something new was kinda of taken away. Sure we were introduced to new and annoying characters, but the guessing game of "who is this" and "how important are they" were removed before we took our seat in the crowded theater. We've felt the disappointment for a few years and now, finally, we were ready to come home with Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Well, we thought THIS would be the final trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but BEHOLD, now we have a new International trailer with brand spankin' new footage...lots of it!
In one of the coolest ways possible, J.J. Abrams and Lucasfilm decided to reveal some character names to us, the salivating public. They released Star Wars trading cards, via EW, to show us the identity of a few characters we were introduced to in the teaser trailer we got a few weeks back.

Seems like Latino Review has scooped some news about the plot of Star Wars: Episode VII. Its dealing mostly with the identity of the villains of at least the first installment of this new trilogy. Beware, if they're correct, this could be spoilery but for now I'm taking this news as strictly a rumor.
