Of all the new Star Wars movies that have been produced since Disney bought Lucasfilm Ltd from George Lucas, it was this tale of Han Solo’s origin that seemed the most likely to fail. Having a new actor fill in role made famous by Harrison Ford was always […]
With the shift of television hardware to supporting 4K resolutions, it seems we are also seeing with it the decline of 3D in the home as fewer models support the format. Some of that could be attributed to most 3DTVs requiring glasses and less than ideal conditions in […]
