Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens may just be months away at this point, but rumours are now already coming out surrounding Episode VIII. The latest rumour hints at three actresses that are being considered by Lucasfilm and Disney, any of whom could end up playing a new female lead in Star Wars Episode VIII.
The actresses in question are Gina Rodriguez (Jane Villanueva in Jane the Virgin and Beverly in The Bold and the Beautiful), Tatiana Maslany (Sarah Manning, Cosima Niehaus and Alison Hendrix in Orphan Black, Kit Bailey in Heartland and Mary Dexter in Diary of the Dead) and Olivia Cooke (Emma Decody in Bates Motel) .
Interesting to note is that Tatiana Maslany was previously on the shortlist for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the first of the spin-off films which will be released next year. Maybe the fact that she’s on a Star Wars short-list again is an indication that Lucasfilm and Disney liked her before and increases her chances of being cast in a Star Wars film?
The three mentioned actresses (and possibly others) are reportedly going to have a chemistry read with John Boyega, Finn in The Force Awakens, sometime this month.
Thoughts on this rumour? Would you like to see Gina, Tatiana and/or Olivia in a Star Wars film?

You know what they say, why promote one of your shows when you can promote two?
Clearly, that’s the CW was thinking when they released an official promo for both The Flash and Arrow. However, the promo has another twist to it.
The promo features a DJ and a bass-dropping remixed look at both heroes. Not much actual footage from either series is included but it does tease lots of action for the next seasons of both shows?

The new take on the popular Star Wars: Battlefront video games is coming very soon and now fans know when they’ll first get the chance to play the game.
Electronic Arts (EA) have announced that a beta for Battlefront will be available to play in early October on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
An official statement from EA reads:
Coming early October to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and on Origin for PC, the Star Wars Battlefront Beta is a technical test and will feature Walker Assault on Hoth, a 40-player multiplayer battle featuring Rebels and the Empire. Walker Assault will also give you the chance to play as two of the most iconic characters in the Star Wars universe: Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. The Beta will also feature our Survival Mission on Tatooine, where you and a Rebel friend must fight back waves of Imperial forces.
In addition to those two modes, we are excited to reveal a brand-new mode that will be available in the Beta, Drop Zone. We’ll be sharing more details on Drop Zone in the weeks ahead.
As part of the Star Wars Battlefront Beta we are also happy to reveal the Star Wars Battlefront Companion experience. Available during the Beta at www.StarWarsBattlefront.com, the Star Wars Battlefront Companion experience features the strategic card game Base Command, and lets you earn in-game Credits that unlock Star Cards, weapons, and more in Star Wars Battlefront. In addition to Base Command, the Companion also lets Rebels and Imperials alike check game stats and progression, customize load-outs and appearance, connect with friends, and get notified when they’re playing Star Wars Battlefront – as well as gather intel on their stats and progression so you can see how you match up! The Star Wars Battlefront Companion will be available on web and in the Apple App Store™ and Google Play™ store prior to the release of Star Wars Battlefront on November 17.
The full game will be released on November 17th, one month and day before the release of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.

We’re getting very close to Force Friday (which takes place on September 4th and provides the first chance for collectors to pick up merchandise from the highly anticipated Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens) and as a result leaks have been coming recently. Some of these leaks have even revealed new characters from The Force Awakens that we hadn’t heard about before. This latest leak is no different.
Two new Hasbro figures have been revealed. The characters are called Sarco Plank and X-Wing Pilot Asty. Pictures of both figures can be found above the first paragraph.
This is actually not the first time we’ve seen either character (just the first time their name has been confirmed). Asty was previously shown in a behind-the-scenes photo and Sarco Plank was shown in photos from Vanity Fair months ago.
Thoughts on the figures? Will you be buying them and are you excited to see the characters in The Force Awakens?

We won’t have to wait long to see Arrow Season 4’s villain as executive producer Marc Guggenheim has confirmed that Damien Darhk will show up in the Season 4 premier.
Mr. Guggenheim is quoted as saying the following:
“He’s very different from our previous Big Bads in that he’s not hiding in the shadows. But at the same time, he doesn’t have a public persona. He shows up at a very public meeting that Lance is present at. If Darhk wants to show up somewhere, he’s certainly going to!”
Damien Darhk will be played by actor Neal McDonough, no stranger to comic fans as he plays Dum Dum Dugan in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and was the voice of Floyd Lawton/Deadshot in Batman: Assault on Arkham, Bruce Banner in The Incredible Hulk, The Flash and Nightwing in Injustice: Gods Among Us and even voiced Green Arrow himself in the DC Showcase: Green Arrow short.
Arrow Season 4 premiers on October 7th with the episode titled “Green Arrow”.
