It’s been clear for a while now that 2019 is going to be a huge year for the Star Wars franchise, and while the December-bound Star Wars: Episode IX is undoubtedly the most high-profile project on the horizon, The Mandalorian’s status as the first live-action TV series of the space saga makes it a pretty important release in its own right. And going by a new report from Entertainment Weekly, there’s a good chance that Jon Favreau’s show will be the first of these two works to reach our screens.

It was a sobering moment last summer when Jar Jar Binks actor Ahmed Best took to social media to recall how he considered suicide amidst the backlash to his role in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, and in a new video for SoulPancake, the star reflects on the journey that took him to this dark place, and his subsequent recovery.

When the news broke that Jordan Peele was producing a “spiritual sequel” to Bernard Rose’s 1992 cult horror hit Candyman, the mind of many a fan immediately went to the question of whether or not Tony Todd would be reprising his role as the titular killer, and while we’ve yet to get an answer on the matter, the Final Destination star himself seems happy to get involved in any way he can.
With the still-untitled A Quiet Place 2 over sixteen months away from release, much of the news we’ve been hearing about John Krasinski’s horror sequel has been tantalizingly vague, but while the latest update from actress Emily Blunt is no different, she at least offers an indication that the writer has some of the basic elements of the story worked out.
