In this one deleted scene, when the Emperor tells Jejerrod to destroy the Endor moon if necessary, Jejerrod says: "But we have several battalions stationed on the moon." Further deleted scenes also prove that because Jejerrod did not carry out this order, nobody on the moon of Endor was destroyed. Basically, the Empire could have blown up the Endor moon at any point after the shield generator was taken down by Han Solo, but they didn't, and the deleted scenes are pretty convincing that Jejerrod's semi-moral internal conflict was the reason.

Ahsoka Season 2 was once tentatively slated for a release in 2026, but that window has since been pushed back a full year. Dawson announced a new release date for the series at Disney's Upfront showcase on May 12, 2026. Per the actress, Ahsoka is slated to return "early in 2027."

Huynh was Oregon Symphony's Associate Conductor back when I was living on campus at Portland State University and walking down to hear OSO concerts at the Schnitz a few times a week, and he led two of my favorite concerts of that era, both of them the "live score to film" type of concert where the audience gets to watch a movie up on the screen while the orchestra down on the stage plays the music.

There will be no Tom Cruise reveling in lowlevel flyovers along the beach at La Croisette by the French Air Force's aerobatic team, as happened at the 2022 premiere of Top Gun: Maverick. Harrison Ford or a similar star will not climb the steps of the Palais des Festivals to the beat of an iconic theme, as he did in 2023 when bidding farewell to the whipcracking archaeologist in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. There will be no screenings of major animated films from Pixar, Disney, or Universal.

Pennington, who played Moff Jerjerrod in Star Wars: Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, died on Sunday (10 May). No cause of death was given. Born in Cambridge in 1942, Pennington found a passion for the stage as a member of the National Youth Theatre. Studying at Cambridge University, he appeared in 30 undergraduate plays and made his debut as Shakespeare's Hamlet.

The idea of wearing that suit for a whole series, not going to be possible. I think Threepio has had very good innings, and I'm slightly against the whole thing becoming attenuated and kind of unraveling.

"He's not Anakin," Filoni explained at a recent event celebrating the finale of Maul. "He doesn't recognize that. He can't."

The Rise of Skywalker was the sequel trilogy's critical and commercial low-point, and while it still hauled in a hefty sack of cash for its galactic overlords at Disney, the franchise doesn't seem to know what to do with itself now that the Skywalker Saga has reached its empty end.

The Clone Wars examined the tragedy of men bred to serve as loyal followers to Jedi leaders they would eventually be forced to betray.

Lightsabers come in a cosmic rainbow of hues and a variety of shapes. There's even a double-bladed version in Phantom Menace, showcasing the creativity behind these iconic weapons.

Banff Sunshine has become a vibrant destination for late-season skiing, with a near-record snowfall of 990 cm and a 2-meter base depth, allowing for excellent coverage into May.

Star Wars is, in part, a battle of empire and rebellion, but that's not what's kept us hooked for 50 years. It is a different struggle. On one side is flow, a living Force asking us to stay with life in its unfolding. On the other is control, born from trauma and loss, insisting life can't be trusted. The dark side.

In the game's upcoming Star Wars expansion, you can visit the likes of Tatooine and Hoth to clean the Lars homestead, an X-wing and a Star Destroyer bridge.

"It's the movie that I saw when I was a kid," Pascal said to the crowd in Spanish. "And it's the thing that really raised me. To be a part of that is a dream."

Via tentative rebel student Agnes Mackenzie, the drama meticulously illustrates the ways disempowered people hoard what little agency they have in Gilead's oppressive environment.

The C-3PO head was the top lot at the auction, which also saw the harpoon gun used by the actor Robert Shaw in Jaws, accompanied by its original case, fetch $327,600.

John Boyega indicated at MegaCon Orlando that he has been in discussions about returning to the Star Wars universe as Finn, the stormtrooper turned Resistance hero. He mentioned a fan's suggestion to contact Lucasfilm's Dave Filoni, implying that there is interest in reviving his character's storyline.

The series began with so much potential, positioned as a leaner, meaner, darker counterpart to The Mandalorian's adventures of the week. That it was also poised to dive deep into the psyche of a character that so many adored (but didn't really know much about) was just an added bonus. But Boba Fett was neither the underworld crime drama nor the intimate character study that anyone hoped it'd be.

This significant prop, accompanied by its original case, carries an estimate of $250,000 to $500,000 dollars. Also due to go under the hammer at Propstore auction house in Los Angeles next month is the Fenwick fishing rod with reel, used by Shaw's character, Quint, in his encounter with the ferocious shark. The rod is estimated to sell for between $75,000 and $150,000 dollars.

"When Adam and I discussed him talking about it publicly, I said, 'Look, do not editorialize or speculate about the why. Just say what happened, because all we know is what happened.' The stated reason was 'We don't think Ben Solo could be alive.' And that was all we were told. And so there's nothing to do about it, you know, except move on.'
