Mike Kalinowski and John Rocha are taking over The Kristian Harloff Show today to break down the biggest movie and entertainment news! The main conversation turns to Star Wars: Starfighter as director Shawn Levy reveals a major detail about the state of the galaxy following Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker — there is reportedly "no governing order."
What does that mean for the future of Star Wars? Mike and Rocha discuss how Starfighter could reshape the post-Skywalker Saga era, what a galaxy without the New Republic or another central government might look like, and whether this gives Lucasfilm the opportunity to take Star Wars in a completely new direction.
Plus, Fast Forever is reportedly targeting a December production start as the Fast & Furious franchise prepares for its next chapter. The writer of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow has also spoken about the recent Supergirl movie following its $125.8 million theatrical run and what the experience could mean for the future of the DCU.
And could Zack Snyder return to the world of 300? A new report claims the long-discussed 300 prequel TV series may be heading to Netflix with Snyder attached to direct. Mike and Rocha discuss what a return to the franchise could look like and whether Netflix is the right home for the project.
Today's show is headlined by the future of Star Wars and the first major clues about what the galaxy looks like after The Rise of Skywalker. Mike and Rocha discuss whether removing a central galactic government could give Lucasfilm a fresh start and what that might mean for Starfighter and future Star Wars movies.
If you're a fan of Star Wars, Starfighter, The Rise of Skywalker, Fast & Furious, Supergirl, DC Studios, Zack Snyder, 300, Netflix, or the latest movie news, join Mike Kalinowski and John Rocha for today's episode!
