A Mixed-Up Galaxy
In LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, bad is good and good is bad, which is why the iconic Millennium Falcon is now dark, and among its passengers are Sith versions of Jar Jar Binks and Rey and a Jedi Vader. Darth Jar Jar's minifigure even has the 2-ended lightsaber made famous by Darth Maul.
The Dark Falcon LEGO set itself is loaded with fun details that lend themselves to fun play, including a removable cockpit that fits 2 minifigures, 2 spring-loaded shooters, 2 rotating cannons, a gunner post for 2 minifigures, and a radar dish.
The top panel of the Dark Falcon flips up to reveal a detailed interior, which includes a command center, bunk beds, entertainment area, a jail cell, and a throne for Darth Jar Jar, who in the LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy series is the ultimate source of evil. (This at least we can imagine since we were never huge Jar Jar fans.)
The Sith Is With You?
The Dark Falcon is just one of the great LEGO models from LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy. Check out Jedi Bob's Starfighter and the TIE Fighter and X-Wing Mashup sets for a deeper dive into this fun and mixed-up universe where Jedi are Sith and Sith are Jedi.

Mia Goth Joins Ryan Gosling in Shawn Levy's STAR WARS: STARFIGHTER — GeekTyrant
Mia Goth is officially joining the Star Wars universe. The actress known for her wild, intense performances in Pearl , Infinity Pool , and MaXXXine , is now co-starring with Ryan Gosling in Star Wars: Starfighter , the new standalone film from director Shawn Levy. There's no word yet on who Goth is playing, but her casting immediately adds some interesting energy to the project. I assume she will be playing the villain, a role that was previously offered to Mikey Madison and Jodie Comer. Starfighter is set about five years after The Rise of Skywalker, picking up the galaxy's story after the Skywalker saga ended. The film will introduce a fresh set of characters and carve out new territory in the canon. The story revolves around a "a 15-year-old boy on a mission with his uncle, played by Ryan Gosling. They're being pursued by a duo of villains—one male, one female.' At this year's Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and chief creative officer Dave Filoni officially announced the project, setting the stage for a new theatrical era of Star Wars . The film is expected to begin shooting this fall and is locked in for a May 28, 2027 release. Levy Previously said of the film: 'This is a standalone. It's not a prequel, not sequel. It's a new adventure. It's set in a period of time that we haven't seen explored yet.' Behind the scenes, Jonathan Tropper is writing the script. Tropper has a long creative history with Levy, having written The Adam Project and This Is Where I Leave You , and he's also the creator of Apple TV+'s Your Friends & Neighbors . This marks another unexpected pivot in Goth's career, which is full of very wild and interesting choices. She'll soon be seen in Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein , sharing the screen with Jacob Elordi and Oscar Isaac, and is also set for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey alongside an ensemble that includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, and Robert Pattinson. I'm really curious to see how this Star Wars: Starfighter movie turns out. Source: Variety

'Ballerina' Review - Ana de Armas Is A Bona Fide Badass
It doesn't matter how good you are or how qualified you are on paper; if you don't fit their mold, they will undoubtedly underestimate you. But you know what? Let them. Let their presumptions be their downfall. Obliterate the box they want to fit you in, redefine the archetype, and no need to prove them wrong, prove yourself right. Make them question the status quo, which in turn makes them question themselves. Win on your terms. Furthermore, define yourself before your narrative becomes dictated by others. If all else fails, call Eve. 'Does she know who her parents really were?' If you thought the chaos that ensued after John Wick's dog was killed was a wild ride, wait until you experience the wrath of over a decade of hate, animosity, and pain being unleashed. Directed by Len Wiseman, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina is a vengeance-driven body count bonanza. As the film nestles cozily between John Wick 3 and 4 , Eve firmly plants her flag within this universe, solidifying two things: the franchise just got better, and Ana de Armas is a bona fide badass. From utilizing the same neon and cold color aesthetic, interacting with familiar faces, along with a somewhat similar story format, I can't remember a spinoff being this good. Not to mention, our ballerina, Eve, lets more bodies hit the floor than playing the Drowning Pool song on repeat for hours. With arguably more grit than the films that bore it and featuring the same level of hypnotic magnetism, Ballerina is sure to dazzle audiences. With endless guns, a myriad of blades, and enough vengeance for multiple films, fans are treated to a buffet of violence and the cold smolder of Eve's eyes. While the plot may be simple and the story uncomplicated, there's a visceral understanding and relatability to what is unfolding. Motivated by tragedy, Eve has pushed past her limits in training and is prepared to hunt down those who have taken from her. The only problem is that doing so goes against the rules held by the Ruska Roma. And as we know, if you break the rules, you've just initiated your own demise. 'If you deal in blood, there must be rules.' The film thrives in its authentic feel as it details Eve's size disadvantages and how, to succeed as an assassin or Kikimora (protector), she'll have to be unorthodox, being told to 'Fight like a girl'. This aspect is where the film separates and stands out from JW . Not only does it highlight the beginning of her grueling training, but you can see her progression with each deadly encounter. She has no contacts or support system and no bulletproof suit, only a heart full of fire and the ability to end a life with almost anything. The story features about the same amount of dialogue as Keanu Reeves' first assassin outing, however, de Armas' Eve Macarro has a lot more to say as their circumstances differ. High-octane action may be what's on the surface and what audiences fawn over, but what is at its core is highlighting and thwarting cultism and dangerous indoctrination. And Eve unknowingly takes on a task that even John Wick would have trouble with. Speaking of John, yes, he is in the film, and fortunately, not as much as you'd think. His presence is only needed in the moments presented, as Ana de Armas does a fantastic job leading the story. Instead of believing lore, we're seeing the birth of it. The fight choreography is top-tier, as expected, and the camerawork works in perfect tandem with each action sequence. Moreover, the craft team did an amazing job with the aesthetics. I think I can confidently say that there will be a sequel. Its rewatchability is high. Ana de Armas as Eve in Ballerina. Photo Credit Murray Close/Lionsgate © 2025 Lionsgate Not unlike the rest of the John Wick franchise, the pacing of this film is relentless yet steady as the action comes early and often. What popped for me was the unspoken progression of Eve's confidence, fighting style, and ability. The visual storytelling is horrific for those who stand in her way, but exhilarating for the viewer. Keanu Reeves as John Wick in Ballerina. Photo Credit: Courtesy of Lionsgate © 2025 Lionsgate Starring: Ana de Armas, Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, Lance Reddick, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Norman Reedus, with Ian McShane, and Keanu Reeves Ana de Armas crushes this performance. Who would've thought that after 2015's Knock Knock, that de Armas and Keanu Reeves would be standing across from each other as the most prolific professional killers. As Eve, she matches John Wick's brooding demeanor, exceeds his intensity, and ultimately is a perfect fit for the Wick Universe. She harbors the ideal balance of killer and care, and the combination makes for an exciting experience. Ballerina releases in theaters on June 6, 2025. Stay safe and RIP Lance Reddick.
