44 Years Ago Today, Star Wars Got the Update Fans Had Been Waiting Years For (And It Started A Lot of Controversy)

When it was announced that filming for Star Wars: Return of the Jedi would begin on January 11th, 1982, excitement was incredibly high.

And if you ask fans – both then and now – most would probably say it didn’t quite live up to expectations. Let’s explore why, and what aspects fall short compared to the first two films.

10 Years On, Stephen King’s Best Sci-Fi Added to Netflix (& It’s An Instant Hit)

Okay, so I recently finished watching 11.22.63 on Hulu, and it’s a really compelling series. James Franco plays Jake Epping, a teacher who gets pulled into this crazy situation – his friend shows him how to travel back in time. The friend tried for years to prevent the JFK assassination, but couldn’t, so he passes the mission onto Jake. Basically, Jake has to go back to 1963 and try to stop Lee Harvey Oswald. But what’s fascinating is that the past doesn’t want to be changed. Every time Jake tries to alter things, it pushes back, and he starts to realize messing with history could ruin the life he’s building in the past. It’s a really gripping story and explores how difficult – and dangerous – changing history truly is.

The Best Steven Spielberg Sci-Fi Movie of the Last 15 Years Wasn’t Made by Him (but 2026 Will Change That)

Once Steven Spielberg became a top director in Hollywood, he leveraged his success to produce many other films. He helped bring popular sci-fi movies like Back to the Future and Men in Black to life – he even convinced Will Smith to star in Men in Black. Some of the films he produces are just as good as his own directing work. Interestingly, he wasn’t the director of what many consider his best sci-fi film from the last 15 years, but that might be about to change with a new release this summer.
