With every long-running franchise comes a list of films and TV shows that were pitched but essentially failed to make it to fruition for one reason or another. Star Wars has delivered a lot and is currently promising much more with Disney+ now at its disposal, but one series that sits on top of the pile as the “almost was” of unmade Star Wars projects is Star Wars Detours. Unlike many other projects that never advanced beyond early development, Star Wars Detours, which was created by Seth Green and had dozens of episodes of the comedy series complete at the time Disney bought Lucasfilm and seemingly put the brakes on the show ever being seen....

Good cop, bad cop: This concept seems to be bleeding across borders, whether unfolding in reality or fictional narratives. For many, police states may seem like a staple in society, something entire generations may only know for the entirety of not only their lives but their parent’s lifetimes as well. But for others, the police are meant and do exist as a force of good, something that was built and intended to keep up the walls of everyday life and keep the notion of justice alive....
