HAPPY NEW YEAR! Force Awakens is dominating as it moves toward potentially dethroning Avatar as the highest-grossing movie of all-time. But wait; this is only the beginning. No longer do fans have to wait three years between installments. Because of Lucasfilm’s aggressive and ambitious slate, including audiences’ thirst for more of the Star Wars saga after the seventh, moviegoers need only wait 18 months for the eighth. What’s more? In just less than a year, the first spinoff will hit theaters to expand the already huge universe even more. Whether you’re a die-hard or newbie, here’s what to expect in a few years:
- Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Releasing 12/16/16, this film will focus on the rebels who banded together to steal the plans for the Death Star. Set in the time between events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, it’ll delve more into the ground-war perspective of the fight for the galaxy.
- Targeted for 2018, a Han Solo standalone is in early stages developing, being the origin of the titular character. Needless to say, Harrison Ford won’t be playing the part, but Lucasfilm is casting a wide net to find the right actor to play the young rogue. In addition, a Boba Fett spinoff may be in the works. Perhaps the two will have good ol’ beef early on?
- Of course, we’ll have the eighth and ninth episodes to round up the core. In the sequel, we know Kylo Ren is off to finish his training, Finn is still recovering from injuries, and that the destiny of Rey awaits. It will come 5/26/17 while the conclusion of the trilogy releases somewhere in 2019.

Daredevil Meme ★ Four Quotes [4/4]
When I was a kid, before the accident, I’d lay awake at night listening to the sirens. I liked to put stories to them. Trying to figure out what they were for, ambulance or cops, robbery or fire. I don’t know, just a stupid game. But after I lost my sight, after my abilities developed, I realized how many sirens there actually were…how much this city suffered every single night.

Here’s the orbital period of our solar system’s 8 major planets (how long it takes each to travel around the sun). Their size is to scale and their speed is accurate relative to Earth’s. The repetition of each GIF is proportional to their orbital period. Mercury takes less than 3 months to zoom around Sol, Neptune takes nearly 165 years.
fuck this gifset do you know how long i sat here waiting for fucking neptune to drag its lazy ass into the frame
