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.

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.'

When Disney announced a TV show all about Cassian Andor from I remember barely caring at all. "Cool, I guess that dude from gets a show, too." Then I watched Season 1 in 2022 and was completely enthralled by its depiction of rebellion and fascism. This year's season two was even better, featuring more moments than I can count that made me sit up in my chair, hold my breath, and wait for the next scene or piece of dialogue

But while I was excited as both a Star Wars fan and an RPG fan, I couldn't help but mourn the developer that was once the genre's industry leader. Fate of the Old Republic doesn't just mark the beginning of a new chapter for Star Wars video games; it feels like the definitive closing of the book on the old BioWare.

To be clear, Lucasfilm has confirmed that will be the OG cut of A New Hope as it was shown in 1977, and not the Special Edition that George Lucas released in 1997 that has since been the film's preferred version of exhibition. The 1997 version included CGI tinkering and the inclusion of the Greedo shot first at Han scene, among other changes.

Disney is bringing a "newly restored version" of the original, 1977 theatrical cut of Star Wars back to theaters on February 19th, 2027. It will only be available in theaters for "a limited time," Disney says, and it's being released as part of "Lucasfilm's yearlong 50th anniversary celebration" for the franchise. Tickets aren't on sale yet, but Disney says it will share details on when and where to buy tickets on StarWars.com.

This isn't just another brand slapping a logo on a hoodie and calling it a collaboration. Columbia has been partnering with Star Wars since 2016, releasing annual holiday collections that go deep into the details. But this 20-piece Endor Collection takes things to another level entirely. The designers actually visited Skywalker Ranch to see the original spray-painted camo costumes from Return of the Jedi in person. That hands-on research shows in every piece.

It's been nearly two years since Disney surprised Star Wars and Marvel fans by bringing The Mandalorian, Loki, and other marquee original series to 4K Blu-ray. The vast majority of Disney+ content remains exclusive to the streaming platform, but all three seasons of The Mandalorian, both seasons of Loki, the complete story arcs of WandaVision and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and more have physical Collector's Editions with steelbook cases, three art cards, and on-disc bonus features.
