science fiction

Hey nerds! Have you been sleeping on the incredible Twitter account @AwfulFantasy? It's as if The Onion started writing 280 character articles about science fiction and fantasy. As one can imagine, the passages range from devilishly clever to laugh-out-loud hilarious. We've put some of our favorites together here, but for more of their five years of content, go ahead and peruse their Twitter.

Yeah, yeah. We realize that Ewoks and Jawas are reasonably cute, but there's something about Star Wars in playful comic for that takes things to the next level. This is the wholesome sci-fi comic we've been on the hunt for. The artist behind these whimsical drawings doesn't limit himself to Star Wars material, so if you like what you see take a look at the rest of his work here. 

Lord of the Rings memes have been killing it since day 1, but we're SO glad that fans continue to make memes that reflect the current climate of humor. This is a nice mix of classic and freshly harvested LOTR memes that are sure to elicit a chuckle from any fan.

Star Wars fans were overjoyed last night after being treated to the first Solo trailer during the Super Bowl - and today we've got a trailer. The clip features some familiar faces: Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian, Woody Harrelson as ringleader Beckett, and Emilia Clarke as Qi'ra, another part of their eventual crew. Alden Ehrenreich plays the title role of our favorite "Nerf herder," and in the Super Bowl spot you can almost picture his voice leaving Harrison Ford's mouth. Honestly, that's where the resemblance stops.

Fans seem a bit more excited about Glover's Lando - the trailer features him oozing Lando goodness, dressed in rich furs and cracking smug smiles. On this end, we're stoked to finally see a Han/Chewie meet-cute and exactly how Han became the most prolific smuggler in the galaxy. Just have to wait until Labor Day.
