A cinematic obsessive with the filmic palate of a starving raccoon, Rob London will watch pretty much anything once. With a mind like a steel trap, he's an endless fount of movie and TV trivia, borne from a misspent youth of watching monster movies on TV, perusing the sun-faded goods at the local video rental shop, and staining his fingers with ink from the Video Movie Guide. Areas of interest include science fiction, film noir, horror flicks, '70s disaster pictures, Bond movies, '90s action, giant robots, dinosaurs, super heroes, and the exuberantly schlocky output of Cannon Films. He also enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars when they're good, and maybe even more when they're bad. As a Canadian, he also has a vested interest in Canadian movies and TV shows, especially the cheesier ones dubbed "Canuxploitation."
An expert on Marvel Comics, he has also written for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and is a member of the Marvel Research Team. He can frequently be found pontificating on comic-book continuity or bemoaning the misfortunes of the Toronto Maple Leafs on his Twitter account.

2019's The Rise of Skywalker may not have been the conclusion of the Skywalker Saga, after all. The nine-film Star Wars epic now looks like it's going up to twelve, as Lucasfilm and parent company Disney prepare a new trilogy of movies. And while the company's future plans have largely been cloaked in shadow, it now looks like they're one step closer to yelling "Action!"
The new trilogy will be penned by Simon Kinberg, who was first attached to the project in 2024. Kinberg has penned a number of X-Men movies, co-created the animated series Star Wars: Rebels, and also served as a creative consultant on the first movie of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, The Force Awakens. Very little has been revealed about the upcoming films, but they will apparently continue the story that concluded in Rise of Skywalker. It is expected that Rey Skywalker (Daisy Ridley), the heroine of the previous trilogy, will appear in the new films; whether any of her cohorts will return as well remains to be seen.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jon Watts is now attached to direct the first film of the proposed trilogy. Watts, who made his directorial debut with the horror feature Clown, is no stranger to blockbuster filmmaking: he helmed three Spider-Man movies for Sony and Disney, all of which dominated the box office. He's also no stranger to Star Wars: he wrote, produced, and directed the Disney+ series Skeleton Crew, which premiered in 2024. His most recent directorial effort was the Brad Pitt-George Clooney comedy thriller Wolfs.

Docking Clamps Released Your Crew Is…
Four ships, four completely different reasons to be up there at all. Here is the one that has your seat, what flying with them would cost you, and what it would give back.
Millennium Falcon
You belong on the fastest piece of junk in the galaxy, with a crew that took the job for the payday and then quietly stopped caring about the payday. Nothing on the Falcon has ever gone according to plan, and everybody aboard prefers it that way.
- You improvise better than you prepare, which is why you keep ending up in situations that a careful person would have avoided.
- The Falcon is the only ship on this list that is genuinely funny, and half of that comes from it breaking at the worst possible moment.
- You would pretend the whole thing is transactional right up until somebody you like is in trouble, and then the pretending stops instantly.
- This crew is the reason the rebellion had a chance at all, and not one of them would ever admit to that out loud.
The Ghost
You belong with the crew that turned a tiny cell of misfits into an actual rebellion. The Ghost is a home before it is a ship, and everybody who boards it arrived with something broken that the rest of them decided to look after.
- Found family is the whole engine here, and Rebels earns it by making you watch these people choose each other over and over again.
- You are in it for the cause, but what actually keeps you going is the four people who would notice immediately if you stopped showing up.
- Hera is one of the best captains in the franchise, and the show is smart enough to make her competence the quiet centre of everything.
- This crew pays for its wins, which is exactly what makes the wins land the way they do.
The Skeleton Crew
You belong with the four kids who found a buried ship, launched it by accident and are now extremely lost in a galaxy that eats people like them. Nobody here knows what they are doing, and that turns out to be the fun of it.
- Your instinct is to open the door that says do not open, and you would do it again tomorrow.
- Skeleton Crew is the closest Star Wars has come to an eighties adventure movie, where the stakes are real but the wonder never gets sanded off.
- You make friends out of whoever is standing next to you when things go wrong, which is a genuinely useful survival skill.
- The pirates in this one are properly frightening, and that is precisely why the kids being out of their depth works so well.
The Razor Crest
You belong in the quietest ship in the galaxy, with one small passenger and a code you have never explained to anybody. You told yourself this was a job, and then it stopped being a job somewhere around the second week.
- You work alone by preference and by habit, which lasts exactly as long as it takes for somebody small to need looking after.
- The Mandalorian works because almost nothing gets said out loud, and the armour does the acting that a face usually would.
- Your loyalty is narrow and absolute, so there are very few people on your list and nothing will move you off it.
- The Mandalorian and Grogu took all of that to the big screen over Memorial Day 2026, the first Star Wars film in seven years.
