Quote of the Week
“Then you will die braver then most.”
Disney blasted
Jodie Turner-Smith blasts Disney

“The Acolyte” show was unceremoniously cancelled, allegedly due to low ratings – but in the weeks leading up to its season finale, the cast faced relentless torrents of racist abuse online from so-called fans who couldn’t handle a Black actor leading a Star Wars series. Jodie Turner-Smith feels that actress Amandla Stenberg (Mae) wasn’t protected enough from Disney.
In a video posted to her Instagram story, Amandla addressed the cancellation, noting that since the show was announced in 2020, she and the cast have experienced a “rampage of hyper-conservative bigotry, vitriol, prejudiced hatred and hateful language”. It’s an infuriating cycle: actors of colour are cast in Star Wars projects and are immediately made vulnerable to vicious bigotry. (John Boyega in particular has been outspoken about his experience with racism while part of the Star Wars sequel trilogy.)
“They’ve got to stop doing this thing where they don’t say anything when people are getting fucking dog-piled on the internet with racism and bullshit,” Jodie says of Disney’s lack of response to The Acolyte’s reception. “It’s just not fair to not say anything. It’s really unfair.”
This is just part of the interview with Jodie, and the rest of her thoughts on Disney and her career, you can read in Glamour Magazine.

Here is the publishers summary:
HAN SOLO AT STARS’ END
Han Solo trusts no one, and does no favors. But when the best illegal ship rebuilder in the galaxy disappears, Han and Chewbacca agree to go after him—after all, the Millennium Falcon needs some very special repairs. Their search pits them against powerful and ruthless enemies out to destroy them, and finally leads them to an airless speck of desolate asteroid—the Authority prison planet known as Stars’ End.
HAN SOLO’S REVENGE
For a cool ten thousand credits, Han and Chewbacca will do just about anything—except transport slaves. For one thing, it means an instant death sentence. So when a high-paying cargo shipment turns out to be a consignment of slaves, Han and Chewie have to think fast. But Han forms a plan to turn the tables on the slavers and free the captives. Then, good deed accomplished, he scours the skies for the nasty joker who set him up—because revenge can be so sweet.
HAN SOLO AND THE LOST LEGACY
There’s a fabled treasure at stake and a price on Han’s head. So he and Chewbacca head for a planet rumored to hide undreamedof riches. But once they get there, Han’s beloved spacecraft, the Millennium Falcon, is hijacked by a band of assassins and killer robots. Their chances for survival are so slim, they might as well risk it all. source
