During a Star Wars Celebration event in London on Friday, Lucasfilm announced that there's a new movie in the works featuring the return of Daisy Ridley as Rey.
There are actually THREE movies being planned, but it sounds like they're unrelated . . . so we're not necessarily looking at another trilogy.
Daisy's movie takes place 15 years after her trilogy . . . where she's working to rebuild the Jedi order.
Another will take place during the "New Republic" era of three "Star Wars" TV shows: "The Mandalorian", "The Book of Boba Fett", and the upcoming series "Ahsoka".
The third one will be about the origins of the Force, so it'll take place long before any previous movies or shows. High Republic anyone????
This is the way - I have spoken

We all want to keep our home germ-free when it comes to cleaning every room of your home.
However, while it seems hygienic to spray or wipe down every surface or object, there are certain things you should never disinfect around the home.
Harsh chemicals are the reason and Tomsguide.com has seven things.
Natural kitchen countertops -Stone surfaces such as granite and marble are porous, meaning that harsh
Wooden surfaces - again porous
Toys - use warm soapy water
Eyeglasses - the residue could get in your eyes
Leather - high alcohol content can make it lose its shine
Jewelry - they could damage the gems. Again soap and water
Your Skin!!! - could irritate your sensitive skin

How would you like a four-day workweek in instead of five? Rep. Mark Takano, D-Calif., hopes his Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act, which he reintroduced last month, will help build support for shortening the standard workweek, and paying overtime after that, for the first time since the 40-hour week was set in 1938.

A stage musical version of "The Bodyguard" in the U.K. had to be halted when a RIOT broke out . . . because the audience wouldn't stop singing along.
It happened Friday night in Manchester. The show was stopped several times because audience members decided to participate . . . while others in the crowd were telling them to SHUT UP.
But it got unbearable during the showstopper, "I Will Always Love You", so they cut the star's microphone and brought up the lights. That's when the real chaos erupted.
"Variety" says, quote, "Two women were forcibly pulled out of the theater by security, and several police cars arrived to oversee the evacuation of the theater after what patrons on social media described as 'fights in the aisles' and even 'a mini-riot.'"
