Adam Driver on Jarmusch, 'Star Wars' and putting filmmakers first
In an interview with The Associated Press, Adam Driver says he developed a Kylo Ren “Star Wars” movie that would have been directed by Steven Soderbergh.

I'm genuinely hyperventilating over this. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined these conversations to have happened and (most importantly) Adam Driver to actually be on board and even enthusiastic. Fuck Disney for nixing this.

This Han-Ben interaction is great and clarifies an aspect of TFA that many viewers misunderstood - Kylo didn't kill Han because he hated him, but because he loved him. He desperately wanted to believe that he'd find peace and strength by destroying what he loved. Instead, that choice haunted him.

I enjoyed del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN while also feeling frustrated by many of its choices. It suffers badly from bloat and self-indulgence, loudly proclaiming its own themes and eradicating much of the novel's moral complexity. Isaac goes full camp and is very fun; Elordi is heartbreaking.

This is both funny and deeply cutting. There's some level of tragic predestination in the boy who couldn't be bothered to learn history growing up to become the leader of a fascist regime drunk on nostalgia for the Empire.

The part of Mamdani's speech that I found most exciting was "you dismantle the conditions that allowed him to gain power. That's how we stop Trump — and the next one."
We need popular political figures to point out that Trump is not an anomaly and there are plenty more to take his place.

I find it hilarious that this guy appeared in Rogue One for like 30 seconds and now has a whole EU built up around his weird af machinations. Like wtf do you mean he's a head in a bowl tormenting Kylo Ren.

The best thing about Charles Soule tweeting about writing Kylo Ren as "happy" is that I win either way. Since I view the comics as harmless fanfiction to be overridden given the slightest need, I'll enjoy Kylo a) having Rey-related butterflies or b) being comically OOC and enjoying dinner w/ Tava.

The reaction to The Hunt For Ben Solo is the start of the Star Wars sequels revival
Fans clamouring for Adam Driver's redeemed Kylo Ren to return signals a generational Star Wars turn. Read more at Empire.

My dad collects and catalogues old radio recordings and recently found this fascinating radio ad promoting the original Star Wars to British audiences back in 1977. It's super interesting to experience how Star Wars was promoted when it was brand new. @blastpoints.bsky.social @wtforce.bsky.social

I went to the Labyrinth Experience convention in High Wycombe today and it was such a lovely way to celebrate one of my favourite films! The creativity on display was so inspiring, and it was especially cool to meet a bunch of the puppeteers (Louise Gold was a truly excellent sport!).

The best part of all this news is that LF absolutely considers Ben alive.
The stranger was the first knight of ren?
This person on Twitter meticulously wrote out all the stranger text available for the future available ART of Book.
Lucasfilm has been working on this for so long. This and the WBW from Ahsoka.. Lucasfilm wants Ben solo back.

At this point, the best thing that could happen for the campaign to save The Hunt for Ben Solo would be for Jenny Nicholson to put together a numbered list on all the ways it would fix Star Wars.

Nabil Shaban was far more than just a Doctor Who monster. As co-founder of Graeae, he was a brilliant ambassador for change in theatre. The stuff he was saying in the 1970s and 1980s about access to the arts still rings true today. Rest in peace, fella.
