We finally got our first look at Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets in motion this morning. We're pleased to say it has everything you might hope for out of a glorious, big screen, sci-fi film.
The film comes from the creator of the favorite The Fifth Element, Jean-Claude Mézières and is directed by that film's director, Luc Besson.
The film looks nothing short of the grand universe we love to see, and seems to delve heavily into the movie genre its source created.

Another day, another super exploitable meme format.
"Hey Man You See That Guy Over There" started in April as a webcomic by Facebook user Florkofcrows. The comic, which features two sock men is supposed to represent the feeling of outrage when a person likes someone you don't. This outrage is basically the premise of many internet exchanges, so naturally the macro has been edited to reference various video games, comics and fandoms. Here are some of our favorite examples.

Before Star Wars was ripped from his wonderful creative grasp by that fascist mouse, Lucas was well on his way to making Star Wars better than anyone had ever dreamed possible. A long line of brilliant changes and directorial decision making had brought the series to new creative heights. The brilliant character design of Jar Jar Binks and intuitive dialogue had us excited for more of what Lucas had to offer. Decisions like retroactively making Greedo shoot first only added depth to existing characters.
'Glum George Lucas' is a wonderful insight into what could have been had Disney not seized the reigns of Star Wars.
You ready? We're almost as excited as young Anakin over here.

This is just Mike V's speculation, but it's a pretty compelling timeline for the film. If you're avoiding potential spoilers turn away, but for those who like to speculate, here's Mikes theory:
- Poe Dameron (with BB-8) is sent by Leia to Jakku to find Rey.
- Kylo Ren and The First Order arrive on Jakku. They attack a village and Poe is captured. BB-8 escapes.
- Poe is brought to the Star Destroyer, Finalizer, that is in orbit of Jakku.
- Kylo Ren tortures Poe and uses the Force to extract information from him.
- Finn witnesses Poe being tortured. Having a crisis of conscience, Finn decides to help free Poe (Poe's blood is on Finn's helmet). Finn ends up with Poe's jacket.
- Finn and Poe both flee in separate TIE fighters, but Finn's TIE Fighter takes damage and crash lands on Jakku.
- Rey is going about her day, scavenging from the remains of the Star Destroyer, Inflictor. She encounters BB-8.
- Kylo Ren regroups with the rest of the First Order to witness the test fire of their new superweapon, Star Killer Base.
- Rey and BB-8 eventually encounter Finn.
- The First Order attack the trio and they then are aided by Han Solo and Chewbacca.
- The group uses the Millennium Falcon to escape Jakku.
- The group formally meet each other and then go to Takodana to meet Maz Kanata in her castle.
- Maz Kanata senses that Rey is Force sensitive and discusses this with her.
- The First Order is made aware of the groups location and attacks Maz Kanata's castle, leaving it in ruins. Kylo Ren looks for Rey and captures her.
- Poe and the Resistance lead a rescue party, which starts the Battle of Takodana. All are rescued except for Rey, who is taken to Starkiller Base.
- The Resistance Regroups. Maz Kanata gives Anakin/Luke's lightsaber to Leia.
- The Resistance plans a rescue of Rey as well as an attack on Star Killer Base.
- The Battle of Star Killer Base ensues.
- Kylo Ren faces Finn in lightsaber combat and emerges victorious (whether Finn survives remains to be seen).
- Rey finally accepts her Force abilities and faces Kylo Ren.
- Luke senses the "Awakening" of the Force in Rey. (Not really sure this clip goes here but it makes the most sense to me).
