I’m thrilled that my first time experiencing the“Star Tours - The Adventure Continues”attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios was also the first time the general public was able to witness theStar Warsride’s newest chapter. As part of a select group of journalists, I visited the Orlando-based theme park in order to check out the continuing adventure, one that takes viewers on a ride through a galaxy far, far away and takes them face to face with characters from theStar Warsfilmography, includingStar Wars: The Last Jedi....

Overall, Marvel has had a pretty poor run of villains, butHugo Weavingwas perfectly cast as Red Skull inCaptain America: The First Avenger. He had the perfect balance of menace while staying in the realm of old-fashioned villainy to make his mark as Cap’s longtime nemesis. Since the character didn’t die so much as getting beamed up at the end ofFirst Avenger, fans assumed they’d be seeing him again some day, and they were right....

One can almost hear the conversation that must have happened around the creation ofImaginary Mary. How do you get people to pay attention to your family comedy (a tried but true format), especially on a network (ABC) that is already stacked full of good, established series in the same genre?
