As 2020 finally draws to an end, here’s a look back at some of the most popular articles on GirlonFilms during the past 12 months, from The Mandalorian and Star Wars, to Take That’s big screen outing, to a book by Liverpool star.

10. We kick off the list with the first look at short film Cognition, starring Jeremy Irvine and Andrew Scott. The film is described as a short dystopian sci-fi drama / thriller about a son confronting his past trauma. Journeying through the symbolic landscape of the subconscious mind, the story follows an unbreakable bond between father and son.

9. The Mandalorian has been one of the most talked-about TV series of 2020. And an article about what the Darksaber means proved to be particularly popular.

8. Exclusive news on a new biography of Mary Poppins star David Tomlinson caught your imagination. The book, by Nathan Morley, follows the actor’s life through war, tragedy, fame and Hollywood.

7. Andrew Cotter and his dogs Mabel and Olive have taken social media by storm during the year, with funny videos of the man and his dogs coping with lockdown. So it’s not really a surprise that news of a book about the three proved popular with GirlonFilms readers.

6. Star Wars is back on the list with the first trailer for the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special. From a lego Baby Yoda to the Emperor telling Darth Vader “Less talky talky, more fighty fighty” it seems this was the trailer that really caught readers’ imagination in 2020.
