Kelsey Grammer will get a chance to come back for another season of the Frasier reboot. Grammer has portrayed Dr. Frasier Crane off and on for the last 40 years. While the role is clearly close to his heart, it’s far from the only impressive role he’s taken on during his lengthy career. Grammer has over 100 acting credits to his name. With so many roles to choose from, you’d think it would be difficult to determine which ones you’d be willing to return to. Still, Grammer did just that. He recently revealed what role, aside from Frasier, he’d like to revisit.

Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin believes character deaths should be transformative and impactful. Martin criticized Tolkien's Gandalf resurrection, arguing death should be final to maintain story power and as such it would have been better if Tolkein had left him dead. George R. R. Martin's realistic approach to character resurrection where characters ultimately lose aspects of themselves differs from Tolkien's more fantastical storytelling style.
Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin, is famed for killing off his characters in an unexpected and spectacular fashion. While it's always difficult to see a beloved character be taken out of the story for good, it makes the stakes feel much higher. Martin clearly has a strict view on how death should be treated in fiction, as he's even criticized The Lord of the Rings' treatment of the concept while raising some fair points.

Star Wars began as a single movie, which creator George Lucas winnowed down from a much larger storyline. Everyone thought it would bomb. Lucas simply hoped it would turn a profit. Instead, it became the biggest movie of all time. The unprecedented success of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope allowed the full story to flourish, though it took over 40 years for the nine-part Skywalker Saga to reach screens.
Along the way, it grew into more than just a film cycle, with TV series, animation, novels, comic books, and ancillary products of every imaginable kind added to the list. It's even included a few movies outside the Skywalker Saga, with more in various stages of development. 12 films in total have been seen inside of theaters. They're listed below from worst to best, though all of them have qualities worth watching.

Filler episodes in TV shows serve various purposes, including character development, exploring new settings, and introducing important details for future storylines. Shows like Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Once Upon a Time, and Lost effectively use filler episodes to enhance the overall story and build the lore of the franchise. Filler episodes can provide a much-needed break from the main plot, offering lighter and fun moments for the audience, while still contributing to character development.
TV shows that are founded upon countless great filler episodes prove the case for short-term plots making a comeback. Filler episodes are generally referred to with disdain, as the downtime of a TV show where nothing of consequence happens. The audience endures them, patiently waiting for the writers to get back to the main plot. However, these episodes are nonetheless vital to the story.

Blossom (Cathy Cavadini), Bubbles (Tara Strong), and Buttercup (E.G. Daily), are collectively known as The Powerpuff Girls, a team of super-powered kindergarten-aged girls created by Professor Utonium (Tom Kane) out of sugar, spice, everything nice, and an accidental dash of Chemical X. The series was highly popular throughout its original run from 1998-2005; a fun, satirical, pop-culture savvy cartoon that spawned a movie and a reboot in 2016.

In the animated series "Star Wars: The Clone Wars," we were introduced to the character of Professor Huyang, an architect and lightsaber designer droid who has been instructing younglings studying to be Jedi for, as he says in the series, "over a thousand generations." Visually designed with inspiration from concept artist Ralph McQuarrie's original art for C-3Po, Huyang's database has all the information about every lightsaber ever made and the Jedi who wielded it. He's got drawers full of lightsaber parts (which was based on creator Dave Filoni's grandfather's basement draws full of tools and parts), and he's always ready to help guide the young padawan in the creation of their first weapon. Plus, as we saw in the live-action Disney+ series "Ahsoka," he helps with Sabine's (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) lightsaber training. Huyang is voiced in both projects by David Tennant, aka the Tenth Doctor from "Doctor Who,...

Star Wars: The Clone Wars gave obscure and unpopular characters, like Jar Jar Binks, the chance to shine and play a key role in the war. In one episode, Jar Jar Binks successfully posed as Boss Lyonie and trapped General Grievous in a Gungan trap, humiliating the villain. Despite his reputation as clumsy, Jar Jar Binks showed unexpected competence throughout the series, contributing to the ongoing "Darth Jar Jar" fan theory.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars documented the period between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith in which the Republic was at war with the Separatists. The animated series gave just about every character from the prequel era a moment in the sun, and nowhere was this more true than Jar Jar Binks. In one episode, the clumsy Gungan senator did the impossible: capture General Grievous.

Chris Pratt's casting as the voice of Garfield reflects a larger problem in the entertainment industry of high-profile actors replacing voice acting legends. The decision to cast Pratt ignores the talented aspiring voice actors who are struggling to make it in the industry. Sony Pictures is prioritizing trendiness over giving opportunities to up-and-coming voice actors, depriving them of potential jobs.
After Charles Martinet stepped down as the voice of Mario, the responsibility to continue the legacy of Nintendo's famous Italian plumber fell on the shoulders of Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt, who found success as the new voice of Mario in The Super Mario Bros.

Since 1977, the Star Wars universe has delivered viewers one of the greatest, largest casts of characters in the history of fiction. With a canon that spans almost a century and an extended universe that covers millennia, future projects have practically infinite ground to cover. However, series like Andor have shown that A-list characters don't have to be the lead in these projects, and some of the universe's best characters are their most obscure.
Star Wars focuses on characters who range from powerful Jedi knights and Sith lords to space-faring pirates, smugglers and everything in between. The universe can cover a variety of ground, ranging from political thrillers to action, and can attract a large fan base with new projects. Placing more faith in obscure characters could enrich the value of Star Wars as a franchise, while also gaining some distance to explore worlds away from the Skywalker saga.

Set in a galaxy far, far away, the Star Wars franchise focuses on numerous characters across different eras of the galaxy as they fight for the balance of good vs evil. One of the most popular eras for many fans is the prequel era, particularly the Clone Wars, which raged from the end of Attack of the Clones to Revenge of the Sith.
The Clone Wars animated projects, including the 2003 micro series, the 2008 movie and the full animated series, followed the Jedi and clones as they battled the forces of the Confederacy. Everything from the internal politics of the Republic to the mythology behind the Force was explored here. However, it was the epic battles of the conflict that kept fans tuning in, helping them get to know the clone troopers and explore the wars across the stars.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars has earned a reputation as one of the greatest projects in the history of George Lucas' iconic franchise. The series and its movie tell the story of the Jedi's leadership of the clone army as they fight for the Republic against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Up against villains like Count Dooku and General Grievous, the valiant heroes of the Republic proved themselves core parts of Star Wars history.
The Clone Wars was a great series, but it's no secret among the fandom that it had a tendency to delve too deep into filler territory. With seven seasons and 133 episodes, it shouldn't be any surprise that some Clone Wars episodes felt inconsequential or needlessly long. These episodes are loved by some fans, but they don't have the same entertainment value or significance to lore as others.

In the 40-plus years that Lucasfilm's Star Wars franchise has permeated pop culture, it's been understandably associated with a "theatrical event" status, but there's great potential for the mainline stories to venture into TV. Admittedly, certain Disney+ shows like The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi were somewhat underwhelming when using both the brand and the medium to their fullest.
Even so, should Disney and Lucasfilm become more ambitious regarding TV production, a flagship Star Wars series would be a juggernaut in the industry. Between exploring fresh eras in this universe's history to finally breaking from the shadow of the Skywalkers, there are several pros to having the next Star Wars saga on the small screen.

The horror genre has had a place in television for decades, with some of the most highly acclaimed series in history exploring ideas of serial killers, monsters and other forms of terror. However, some of the best ventures into scary stories don't come from horror series at all, but incorporate elements of the genre into their story. This can make for a fun detour from the established tone of a series.
Some episodes prove a show doesn't have to go full horror to terrify its viewers, and can walk a line between genres like sci-fi, fantasy and crime with horror. These can lead to some unique stories that disturb and scare audiences, with some being seen as off-brand or bold directions for their series. Placing characters not associated with horror in scary situations is a great way of renewing interest in a series, as well as hooking new viewers.

Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars microseries was the first-ever glimpse into the Clone Wars era, featuring iconic characters like General Grievous and Asajj Ventress. Despite being replaced by Dave Filoni's CGI series, parts of the microseries, such as battles and voice actors, were canonized in The Clone Wars. The microseries can still fit into canon as an in-universe propaganda show commissioned by Palpatine to sway public opinion in favor of the Republic.
Genndy Tartakovsky’s Star Wars: Clone Wars microseries from 2003 is easily one of the innovative and visually unique projects in the franchise. Nevertheless, Dave Filoni’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars ultimately ended up building upon and replacing Tartakovsky’s vivid vision for what occurred between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. There are plenty of discrepancies between the two shows that can’t be reconciled. But despite the Clone Wars microseries being relegated to Star Wars Legends,...

All hail Ahsoka! The young Jedi (voiced by Ashley Eckstein) first appeared in "The Clone Wars" to mixed reactions from "Star Wars" fans. Since then, however, she has grown into a popular character in George Lucas' sprawling franchise, so much so that she's received her own Disney+ TV series starring Rosario Dawson in the role. Her close relationship with Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi ensures she is never too far from essential moments seen on "The Clone Wars" and other TV shows like "Star Wars Rebels," "Star Wars: The Bad Batch," and "Star Wars: Galaxy of Adventures."
With so many appearances in animation, it's tough to pin down Ahsoka's best scenes. Whether it be a killer lightsaber duel or a brilliant bit of heroism, there's no shortage of incredible sequences.

The best legacy sequels concern themselves with the weight of the decades that have passed and the long-term effects of the events separated by the gulf of time between entries. While these stories occur across the wide spectrum of entertainment, the horror genre is uniquely positioned to explore such follow ups. After all, just as years affect a life, so too does the horrors of one blood-soaked Halloween night.

Most of the world knows Mark Hamill by sight. He played Luke Skywalker in the "Star Wars" franchise, an acting gig that has spanned over four decades. You might even have an action figure of him in your house right now. In addition, Hamill has slayed audiences with his voice work as the Joker in Batman TV shows, animated projects, and video games since 1992. Hamill's voice work (including his insanely accurate impression of "Star Wars" co-star Harrison Ford) is incredible, and while he won a Daytime Emmy for his role in "Elena of Avalor," he was never even nominated for the Joker. That's a crime, and it's unlikely to happen now that his Batman counterpart Kevin Conroy has died.
One job he did get a Daytime Emmy nomination for was voicing Darth Bane in season 6, episode 13 of the animated series "Star Wars: The Clone Wars," entitled "Sacrifice." However, according to...

While primarily a movie-based pay cable channel, the Starz network has made original television content since 2005. It took a few years for the network to find its footing, yet with such acclaimed historical dramas as Spartacus, Black Sails, and now Outlander, Starz has begun to compete with the high-quality storytelling on par with HBO and Showtime.

The hit, award-winning comedy Archer recently concluded its thirteenth season, and it was just as hilarious and ridiculous as ever. This season marked the first without Jessica Walter, the voice of Mallory Archer, following her passing in March 2021, and while her absence was felt, the other characters became more and more absurdly funny. Currently, there is no official confirmation Fxx has renewed the show for a fourteenth season, but it seems unlikely that the network would cancel one of its most popular and longest-running shows.
If there is one word to describe the main characters of Archer throughout all thirteen seasons, it’s bold. They are incredibly brash and brave – although, for most characters, it’s reckless courage as opposed to traditional, heroic courage. While their bravery is rarely well-placed or smart, all of them from Sterling Archer to Woodhouse are brave in their special way, but here is how they compared against each other.

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Andor episode 7.Andor episode 7 delved deeper into the Isb's activities, partly by showcasing a major cameo from a character shown in both A New Hope and Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Andor has thus far been split between three major storylines, one featuring the titular character and his growing willingness to join the Rebel Alliance, Mon Mothma and Luthen's building of said Alliance, and the exploits of the Imperial Security Bureau attempting to crush the fledgling Rebellion. The latter storyline introduced Dedra Meero to the show, a character high up in the Isb's ranks. It's via Meero that Andor's major cameo occurs.
Andor episode 7 opens with Meero attending a meeting at Isb headquarters outlining how the Empire will retaliate against the Aldhani heist of Andor episode 6, with the person holding the meeting being none other than Wullf Yularen. Yularen was first introduced in...

Imagine being a voice actor and not having the use of your voice following a stroke. Tom Kane, one of the most well-known voice actors within the past couple of decades, has unfortunately lost much of his ability to speak and even communicate following a left-side stroke that left him incapable of speaking for the most part, but as it’s already been stated he’s stubborn enough that he’s not allowing this to keep him down. This kind of setback would be disastrous to many people since when the one tool that manages to get you paid breaks down it’s hard

Voice actor Tom Kane, known for his work on various entries in the “Star Wars” franchise, suffered a stroke two months ago that left him largely unable to speak, according to a Facebook post written by his daughter.
“He had a left side stroke that gave him right sided weakness and damage to the speech center of his brain,” the post shared to his Facebook page on Wednesday reads. “This means right now he cannot efficiently communicate verbally, nor read or spell. He is still competent and very much himself, but can only get out a few words right now.”
The stroke has currently rendered Kane unable to do his job as a voice actor. During his career, Kane has lent his voice to “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” delivering lines for numerous characters including Yoda, as well as the blockbuster film “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” where he voiced Admiral Ackbar.

The Star Wars Holiday Special is the most notorious entry in the whole saga – which is really saying something – and so Lucasfilm has been trying to bury its existence ever since it first aired in 1978. But this festive season, the unthinkable is happening. No, the original isn’t being put up on Disney Plus, but the streamer is debuting a kind of honorary sequel to it in the form of the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special. And it looks poised to be a real blast judging by the trailer up above.
Loosely set after the events of The Rise of Skywalker, the Holiday Special sees Rey and faithful droid Bb-8 flung on a time-traveling adventure across Star Wars history, leading to a confrontation with her evil granddaddy Emperor Palpatine and a team-up with her master Luke Skywalker in his youth. Meanwhile, Poe, Chewie, Lando, Threepio and the gang get ready...

Rey, Darth Vader and Baby Yoda have the ultimate “Star Wars” crossover in the brand new trailer for the Lego holiday special on Disney Plus.
In a new trailer released on Thursday, “The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special” follows Rey, Finn, Poe, Chewbacca, Rose and their droids as they commemorate Life Day, a joyous celebration on Chewbacca’s home planet of Kashyyyk that was first introduced in the 1978 “Star Wars Holiday Special.” Following the events of the franchise’s most recent film “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” the 45-minute special depicts Rey as she travels with Bb-8 to gain a greater understanding of the Force.
On her time-traveling adventure, she encounters characters from all nine Skywalker saga films, including Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Emperor Palpatine. Several “Mandalorian” characters even show up, including Baby Yoda and the helmeted protagonist played by Pedro Pascal on the hit Disney Plus series.

The 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special is one of the most mystifying, surreal and awful things I’ve ever seen. It follows Chewbacca’s family on Kashyyyk as they celebrate Life Day and topped the list in the book What Were They Thinking?: The 100 Dumbest Events in Television History, which dubbed it “the worst two hours of TV ever.” They’re not kidding. Now, Disney and Lucasfilm have bravely announced a follow-up in the form of Lego Star Wars Holiday Special.
This will be a direct sequel to the original, showing Rey, Finn, Poe and Bb-8 heading to Kashyyyk for one more stab at enjoying Life Day. Along the way, we’ll see cameos by various Star Wars characters, including Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Yoda and Obi-Wan.

We are going to say right up top that those who wish to avoid anything that might be considered a spoiler for the movie should turn back now. That having been said, an incredibly important character from the history of the franchise is said to be in the upcoming sequel, which raises questions about what exactly is going to go down.
Again, those who want to avoid spoilers should turn back now. According to a new report, none other than Dr. Loomis will be making an appearance in Halloween Kills. No details regarding how the character fits into the plot were revealed, but the most likely option would be a flashback.

One thing about Disney's new Star Wars that has been often criticised is the treatment of some of the characters from the original trilogy. Whether it be a grumpy, cynical Luke Skywalker, or the killing of loveable rogue Han Solo, fans have found plenty to be upset about.
One fan-favourite character that was completely side-lined is Admiral Ackbar, who sadly did not receive anything close to a memorable moment, and certainly nothing that compares to his infamous "It's a trap!" scene. Well, things could have been very different if Gary Whitta, the writer behind Rogue One, had gotten his way.
Gary Whitta took to Twitter earlier this week to remind fans that at one point, Admiral Ackbar was all set to appear in the movie, and would have been leading the air assault over Scarif while the Rogue One squadron took care of things on the ground.
