A certain faction of Star Wars fans attempting to remake The Last Jedi are the target of an excellent Brick parody.

LUCASFILM To mark the beginning of production on Star Wars: Episode IX, director J.J. Abrams fired off a tweet (his first!) directed at Rian Johnson, who wrote and directed The Last Jedi, and George Lucas, who produced Howard the Duck… and did some other stuff, too. “Bittersweet starting this next chapter without Carrie, but thanks to an extraordinary cast and crew, we are ready to go,” he wrote.

Lucasfilm After the untimely passing of Carrie Fisher in 2016, Star Wars fans wondered whether Princess-turned-General Leia Organa would appear in Episode IX (which begins filming this week). It turns out, she will, using previously unreleased footage from The Force Awakens. “We desperately loved Carrie Fisher,” director J.J. Abrams said. “Finding a truly satisfying conclusion to the Skywalker saga without her eluded us. We were never going to recast, or use a CG character.

Leia, Lando, and force-ghost Luke oh my! The finale of the Star Wars sequel trilogy is upon us, with some intriguing casting announcements to hold us over until its release. Lucasfilm announced that the main cast from the critically acclaimed The Last Jedi will be returning for the currently untitled picture, along with some fresh faces. IGN reports that: “They include Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Kelly Marie Tran, Joonas Suotamo, and Billie Lourd. Newcomers for Episode IX are Naomi Ackie and Richard E.

His arc is likely to be less feel-good than before, but we should all celebrate the return of Lando. No matter what you think of Solo: A Star Wars Story, we can all agree that this particular anthology movie universally amplified the already omnipresent love for Lando Calrissian. Donald Glover’s take on one of the coolest, most charming characters in the Star Wars universe is spot-on, reminding us of just why we love Billy Dee Williams in the original trilogy in the first place. Glover gave us a taste of what Lando was like before the events of the first Star Wars.
