Phil Roberts 
Future of the Force sends you warm wishes for a Merry Christmas. Thank you for your support throughout this amazing year.
Whether you’re warping into the final frontier, jumping to lightspeed, saving the Multiverse, or defending the DC Universe, the team here at Future of the Force wishes you all a Merry Christmas.
What a year it’s been! We’ve genuinely enjoyed every moment of our press events, meeting fantastic fans, attending exciting conventions, and creating unforgettable memories along the way. We’ve had the joy of making new friends and deepening our connections with longtime supporters. It’s been a pleasure welcoming talented guest writers, even as we bid farewell to some familiar faces. We’ve had the pleasure of interviewing some truly incredible talents and attending some of the most exciting movie premieres of the year.
We’re also thrilled to share that our website is growing rapidly, regularly appearing in Google Search and News Feeds, and reaching more wonderful people every day! Can you believe that this small fansite, which started ten years ago, has blossomed into such a vibrant hub of pop culture excitement? All of this wouldn’t be possible without you, our amazing readers. It warms our hearts to see so many of you turning to us for your daily dose of pop culture news and reviews. We’re just as excited as you are to see what the New Year has in store!
BIGGING IT UP IN 2026!
Get ready for an epic 2026! We’re thrilled to announce that we’re expanding our coverage of ALL the big streaming services and have a treasure trove of all-new categories coming to our homepage. Excitement is building as we ramp up our YouTube and TikTok channels with new video content! Plus, we’re launching a new weekly newsletter video segment to keep you in the loop on the latest news.
But that’s not all! We’re thrilled to be heading back to the BFI London Film Festival to bring you the top reviews from this fantastic event. And Star Wars fans, get ready—because we’re heading back to a galaxy far, far away with the big launch of The Mandalorian and Grogu next summer.
WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU
When we launched our website ten years ago, our goal was to create a platform to connect with people and discuss the franchises we love. Since then, the website has continued to grow, our audience has expanded every month, and bigger opportunities have come our way. But for 2026, we want to hear from you. Our goal for the New Year is to grow our community and offer a safe space for our readers to talk about their favorite franchises without fear of toxic backlash. Additionally, as our content continues to develop, we want to hear from you about other franchises or pop culture fandoms you’d like us to cover.
Many of us find ourselves drawn to the exciting world of professional wrestling with WWE, while others are thrilled to cover boxing and soccer. We’re eager to hear from you—are you ready for us to explore these areas together? Don’t hesitate to reach out and share your thoughts. We truly value your voice, so please feel free to let us know what you think!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
But 2025 isn’t over yet! After the holidays, we’re excited to bring you even more updates, reviews, and all the fun from every universe. First up, we’ll share our thoughts on the new episodes of Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2. Plus, there’s the exciting conclusion of Stranger Things 5 Part 2. Keep an eye on our site for all the latest. We also need your help to grow—share our content with friends and spread the word! Together, we can make 2026 our best year yet.Â
Until then, we hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and a wonderful New Year. From our family to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas.
This is the way!
