Boba Fett is among the deadliest bounty hunters in the entire “Star Wars” universe, with numerous wins to his name — not the least of which is handing Han Solo over to Jabba the Hutt, and scoring a pretty profit in the process.

But it turns out that there are some other iconic “Star Wars” characters whose lives Fett ruined. And by ruined, I mean ended. And by ended, I mean disintegrated.

MoviePilot puts forth the compelling theory that Boba Fett is the man behind the trigger on these two beloved “Star Wars” characters:

That’s right — Boba Fett killed Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru … or so the theory goes.

The evidence that Luke Skywalker’s guardians were murdered by Fett is compelling, if not conclusive. Highlights include Boba Fett being on Tattooine around the same time Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru died, as well as a pointed encounter between Fett and Darth Vader in “The Empire Strikes Back.”

Check out MoviePilot for the full theory. It’s certainly a fun one to ponder, even if it never pans out. Then again, with rumors of a “Boba Fett” solo movie in the works, perhaps we’ll find out about the Mandalorian killer’s role in Owen and Beru’s murder, or lack thereof, sooner than later.

“Great. Just what we need. Another remix of the ‘Game of Thrones‘ opening.”

Don’t be so cynical. If that’s what you’re thinking, then you haven’t yet laid eyes on the “Game of Thrones” opening, reimagined by Clickhole as an old man sipping soup.

And here it is, side-by-side with the actual “Thrones” opening:

Why does this exist, you ask? Well, why not? The world demands more epic, medieval soup-slurping. Now, HBO needs to release their own version of the soup opening, set inside of King’s Landing. Perhaps that’s why Tywin Lannister is back on “Thrones” this season?

It’s rare that Springfield is synonymous with sorrow, but that was certainly the case during the 26th season premiere of “The Simpsons.”

After more than a year of producers teasing that a big character death was on its way, “The Simpsons” finally dropped that shoe, sending an important character to the great beyond — but not exactly a principal player, as many thought.

The person who did not make it out of the “Simpsons” premiere alive was…

…not Homer. It was…

…not Krusty the Clown. It was…

Krusty’s father. Send in the sad clowns.

The episode, titled “Clown in the Dumps,” centers on the death of Krusty’s father, Rabbi Hyman Krustofski, voiced by Jackie Mason, who won an Emmy award for voicing the character back in 1992. In his final moments, the rabbi tells his estranged son Krusty what he really thinks of him: “Eh.”

“I thought, ‘It would be a good father-son story if the rabbi passed away and the last thing he said to his son was, ‘I think you’re eh,’” executive producer Al Jean tells Entertainment Weekly. “That the last word that Krusty heard from his dad was ‘eh,’ and that he had to try to reconcile himself with that, and try to find an answer for this lifetime relationship.”

Rabbi Krustofski’s passing might come as a bit of an “eh” to people anticipating a major “Simpsons” character death for more than a year now, but Jean insists that he did his best ...

Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra’s classic comic book series “Y: The Last Man” — about the last man on Earth (and his pet monkey Ampersand) traveling the world to find his fiancé and solve humankind’s near-extinction — has struggled to find big-screen life for the better part of a decade, and now, it’s hit yet another major setback — or taken a step forward, depending on your take on things.

Dan Trachtenberg, the man attached to direct the “Y” adaptation for New Line, has confirmed that the film is no longer moving forward, and that the rights have reverted back to the creators.

“The rights reverted back to Brian quite a few months ago,” he told /Film. “I had such a great time working on that project and am truly sad the things we were cooking up can no longer happen.”

At the beginning of the year, Vaughan revealed that if “Y” did not start shooting “in the next few months,” he and Guerra would retain the rights “for the first time in a decade.” That time has come, and now the choice is up to the creators of Yorick Brown as to whether or not they should move forward with any kind of adaptation.

So, what’s next? Will a live-action “Y: The Last Man” ever see the light of day? As far as we see it, there are a few possibilities:

1. Vaughan and Guerra can try their hand at another feature film;

2. They can do their best ...

Hell hath no fury like a special-ops retiree scorned.

Academy Award winner Denzel Washington lends his gravitas to this weekend’s new action movie “The Equalizer,” directed by Antoine Fuqua, and based on the television show of the same name. It stars Washington as a former super-soldier who reenters the world of action and intrigue, squaring off against a Russian nightmare named Teddy (Marton Csokas), and a city filled with corrupt cops.

By some accounts, “The Equalizer” is to Washington as “Taken” is to Liam Neeson — your mileage may vary on whether or not that’s a bad thing. Here’s what critics have to say about Washington’s latest:

The Story
“Very loosely inspired by the 1980s TV show, ‘The Equalizer’ introduces Washington as a kindly senior citizen who works at a Home Depot (which isn’t called that, for reasons that will become evident) in Boston. But when Russian mobsters severely beat up a prostitute (Chloe Moritz) whom he regularly encounters at his favorite coffee shop after work, Washington decides to employ his old skills, which are quite considerable, to rid the city of the Russian criminals, who are in cahoots with local cops.” — Lou Lumenick, New York Post

The Action Hero
“Washington is terrific here, a blue-collar Bourne far from the champagne sophistication of Bond, his astonishing physicality springing out in his action scenes and in his decisive moments while still suggesting the calm, collected thought before each brief burst of violence. Washington is that rarity: an action-film star capable of ...

Is there anyone Jax Teller isn’t willing to burn on his visionless quest for vengeance?

On the latest episode of “Sons of Anarchy,” titled “Playing with Monsters,” Teller turns an ally into an enemy in order to keep his misguided vendetta against Henry Lin alive. Meanwhile, one of the people who betrayed Jax seeks a way back into the club, while the new sheriff in Charming proves herself to be quite different from her predecessors.

Here’s what happened on this week’s “Sons of Anarchy”:

Marks Against August

August Marks, the newly anointed Gun King of NoCal, suspects Jax and the club killed the Chinese gun buyers during the “Toil and Till” massacre. “Don’t cross me, Jackson,” he warns. “I have no remorse killing you or any of the Sons.”

Jax doesn’t like threats, not one bit. Knowing that Marks won’t stand for Jax’s vendetta against the Lin Triad, Jax goes behind Marks’ back and contacts the Niners, the street gang that work directly for Marks. He helps the Niners take care of a renegade threat, and forges a new alliance with them, in order to earn their trust and goodwill for the day that Marks is no longer a factor.

Making matters worse, Jax enlists his Grim Bastards pals in attacking one of the Lin Triad’s massage parlors, under the false pretense that they’re working for Marks. In other words, Jax just put Marks on Lin’s radar in a very bad and very violent way.
