Ewan McGregor celebrated a huge milestone in his career today when he was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The eighth theatrical film in Paramount’s Transformers series, Transformers One returns to the property’s purely animated roots. Yet, the story has more humanity than the films that co-star human actors, and ultimately makes you feel the operatic tragedy of Megatron.

Obi-Wan Kenobi star Ewan McGregor has said he is keen to do another series of the Disney+ show.The Star Wars spin-off series, which debuted in May 2022, followed Obi-Wan’s (McGregor) journey to save a kidnapped Leia Organa (Vivien Lyra Blair) and return her to safety.No second season has yet been confirmed for the show, but McGregor has previously shared his desire to return to the role and has now done so again in a new interview with Variety.“I really do hope we get a chance to do another one,” he said. “Between where we ended off in the series and when Alec Guinness comes on screen with Luke Skywalker, I think there’s another few stories to tell in there.”His co-star Hayden Christensen who played Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in the prequels and the last series also said he had high hopes for a second series.He added: “If it means that I got to do more with Ewan, then that’s a no-brainer, but I really hope that he continues with the character.

Disney is debuting something special for Star Wars fans.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor Composer Kevin Kiner is no stranger to the world of “Star Wars” — he scored the character of Ahsoka Tano for “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” and “Star Wars: Rebels.” When he learned he was going to be part of Disney+’s “Ahsoka” and he would take the former Jedi from animation to live action, he wanted audiences to understand that she was a veteran warrior. Having legacy themes from the animated shows gave him a soundscape to draw upon. He then recruited his children Sean and Deana to help him score the music for the eight-part series starring Rosario Dawson.

Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace” debuted on May 19, 1999, few movies before (or since) were greeted with more fevered anticipation. Not only was the movie the first new “Star Wars” movie in a generation, but it was touted as the first of a prequel trilogy charting the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker, the Jedi Knight fated to turn to the dark side as Darth Vader.

Todd Gilchrist editor In “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” Lucasfilm resurrected more with its 2022 series for Disney+ than just the eponymous Jedi Master, who’d gone into hiding after the events of “Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith.” The show also rekindled his greatest conflict — perhaps his greatest failure — with former apprentice Anakin Skywalker, transformed by the dark side of the Force into Sith Lord Darth Vader. And it additionally brought back multiple elements of franchise iconography that go all of the way back to the original films — in particular, the bacta tank.

didn’t steal the plot for its 2022 blockbuster “The Batman” from a writer who created a story about the Caped Crusader three decades earlier, a federal judge in Manhattan ruled on Wednesday.US District Judge Paul Engelmayer also said the writer Christopher Wozniak infringed copyrights belonging to DC Comics, which employed him as a freelance artist in 1990 when he wrote “The Ultimate Riddle,” later retitled “The Blind Man’s Hat.”“We respectfully disagree with the court’s decision and are considering our next steps,” Wozniak’s lawyer, Terry Parker, said in an email.Wozniak claimed he was “stunned” to learn that “The Batman” was a near copy of “The Ultimate Riddle,” with the Riddler terrorizing a Gotham City beset by crime and controlled by a corrupt banking cartel.But in a 45-page decision, Engelmayer said Wozniak intentionally and without consent lifted material from DC Comics’ works to create his story, which “liberally exploits –indeed, is rife with” Batman characters and plot elements.“The story’s use of the Batman character and the surrounding protected elements is an act of clear and blatant copyright infringement,” the judge wrote.Engelmayer also said key similarities between the works — serial killers who are loners bent on destroying society, villains who taunt pursuers with “clues and riddles,” and moments of “clarity or epiphany” that propel villains to crime — were too commonplace to support Wozniak’s copyright claim.For the latter, the judge in a footnote cited movies including “Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith,” where Anakin Skywalker succumbs to the dark side of the Force and becomes Darth Vader.Engelmayer also rejected Wozniak’s “wholly speculative” claim for how Warner Bros might have gotten

Zack Sharf Digital News Director No one was shocked more than Hayden Christensen when he landed the role of Anakin Skywalker in George Lucas’ “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones” and “Star Wars: The Revenge of the Sith.” Christensen was far from the biggest name that Lucasfilm was trying to lure into its galaxy far, far away. When he had heard that Leonardo DiCaprio was being courted, Christensen thought “Star Wars” was a lost cause for him. “I had heard that they’d met with Leonardo and a bunch of other actors,” Christensen recently told Empire magazine.
