Original trilogy, prequel trilogy, sequel trilogy, it’s all just one story: the Skywalker Saga. From the very beginning of Star Wars, George Lucas’ tale from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far, away has been almost singularly about one family whose fate would change the universe. Now, with that story complete, Lucasfilm has decided it should be retold in a different and intriguing way. It’s called
Star Wars Skywalker A Family at War by Kristin Baver, it’s out this Tuesday, and io9 has an exclusive excerpt for you to read.
On Monday, Disney Plus revealed a new trailer for Loki. The series premieres on June 11, and follows Tom Hiddleston's Asgardian rapscallion as he works with Owen Wilson and Gugu Mbatha-Raw to repair the rifts in the MCU he caused by stealing the Tesseract.

What does this anniversary party involve? First, a quick teaser to remind you why you became obsessed in the first place: Tyrion being the smartest guy in the room, King Joffrey taking his last gasp, Cersei smirking, dragons galore, etc:
Starting today,
Game of Thrones faithful can head to HBO Max to access an app “with curations for every level of fandom” including “a treasure trove of content, with over 150 videos of behind-the-scenes extras, cast interviews, clips, and trailers many of which have never been available on the streaming platform before.” Then starting April 10, the network launches a “MaraThrone” (sigh) with “all episodes of season one airing on HBO2 starting at 10:00 a.m. ET, challenging fans to continue to binge watch all 73 episodes of the series on HBO Max while raising money for select global charities.”
Fiction by Ayşegül Savaş: “The process was an act of imaginary acrobatics, trying to launch ourselves forward with only a guess of where we wanted to land.”
