The dark side of fandom
Ahmed Best best known for providing the voice and movement capture for the character of Jar Jar Binks in the Star Wars prequels has revealed that he considered suicide because of the adverse fan reaction to the character. What was supposed to be a comedy relief lead to charges of racism with Binks being called out for a stereotypical. Apart from one crucial moment in the second prequel Attack of the Clones the character was pretty much side lined from the next films. Given the recent debate about fan opinion being vitriolic perhaps that the people on the are human beings.

A leak at the Doctor's
The BBC is suing an American website showing footage from an upcoming episode of Doctor Who. The footage is understood without finished effect or a proper music score. The BBC are thought to be showcasing the forthcoming new season (which introduces the first female Doctor in the form of actress Jodie Whittaker) at this year's San Diego Comic Con. This is not the first time the show has been the victim of an early leakage of footage. Famed comic book writer Warren Ellis wrote a review of Rose the first episode of the revival nearly a week before it was shown. If Doctor Who footage is shown at Comic Con the footage may not appear online as the various media companies who will be showing off their wares at event can be very strict about such footage suddenly appearing on the net via shaky mobile phone camera work. The wait for new Who footage may be longer than some may wish.
