THIS MONTH AT EMPIRE

WHEN CHOOSING YOUR favourite Star Wars character, there are several things to take into consideration. They include (but are not limited to): your age when you first encountered them, how good their outfit is, how quick they are with a quip, where they place on the spectrum of saint to scoundrel (and your feelings about that position). It’s far from an easy decision but, when we asked you to make that call for our poll, you rose to the task admirably. And this month, we’re excited to reveal the results. Who’s the top twin: Luke or Leia? Who’s master of the Jedi: Yoda or Obi-wan (or Mace Windu)? And can Rey and the new crop challenge the Original Trilogy’s icons? The answers to all these questions (and others — how high is Jar Jar?) are inside.

Outside of that, we go on set of what we feel/hope will be this year’s most deranged horror, The Nun; talk to Idris Elba about his directorial debut; bring you world exclusive first looks at Alita: Battle Angel, Creed II and Bumblebee; and share the latest news on the film this year I’m probably most excited about, Bad Times At The El Royale. You’ll want to stay a while. Maybe even for the night.
