Burns) made it all the way up the creative and corporate chain to

                   wants to build with you. And it’s because of that flimsy excuse that Star Wars fans are reacting to this whole thing like a slap in the face. What started as an innocuous aside from Adam Driver during a recent interview has blown up into a continuing story with Soderbergh himself chiming in almost immediately after.
                  </p>
                  <p style="margin:0;margin-bottom:16px">
                   It started with Driver revealing that he would reprise the character with the right director and the right story, and he and Soderbergh had actually fleshed out one that was “handmade,” “character-driven” and “one of the coolest projects he’d ever been a part of.” “We presented the script to Lucasfilm. They loved the idea,” Driver told the Associated Press. “They totally understood our angle and why we were doing it. We took it to Bob Iger and Alan Bergman, and they said no. They didn’t see how Ben Solo was alive. And that was that.” Soderbergh later added that he asked LucasFilm head honcho Kathleen Kennedy if the studio “had ever turned in a finished movie script for greenlight to Disney and had it rejected. She said no, this was a first.”

                  <p style="margin:0;margin-bottom:16px">
                   So, yeah, it is kind of a slap in the face, given that LucasFilm’s next two flagship releases are a lifeless-looking
                   <em>
                    Mandalorian
                   </em>
                   movie and a standalone film from the great faux-teur of our time, Shawn Levy. The sad part is that as cool as this likely would have been,
                   <em>

                   </em>
                   as a franchise is pretty cooked.

                   is a masterpiece or an affront (I’m near the middle, but closer to the masterpiece side, for the record), we can all agree that looking back, a trilogy by three different writer-directors working without a single unified story was doomed from the start. As such, even the stuff that sort of worked in those movies doesn’t really rate as something I’m interested to see more of. Rey Skywalker’s characterization is a little too shoddy for me to get hype about her return to the big screen. And honestly, I can say the same for Ben Solo, a name I honestly forgot for a split second since he typically goes by his villain name in the space streets and I haven’t revisited those films since the trilogy wrapped six years ago.

                   Really, the only draw here would’ve been Soderbergh, a guy who can basically get me to see anything his name is attached to. That LucasFilm and Disney didn’t pick up on that and leap at the chance to welcome a veteran talent into the family and let him do whatever he wants, shows that they’re woefully lost and have no idea where to go. (Creatively, that is—surely

                   concluded this year, with a final season that has an arguable claim at being the best of the year. The series is engaging, it’s exciting, and it’s one of the only spin-offs to really grow something interesting and forward-looking from the seeds of George Lucas’s ideas about fascism and rebellion. Gilroy is the guy who can take a super-sci-fi concept like the Death Star and ground its creation in a storyline about deep state politics and media manipulation. Kathleen Kennedy and Bob Iger should be throwing everything at him to stay and make something else—his own trilogy, another series, whatever he wants. Instead, and I can’t stress this enough, the next big live-action Star Wars project is being brought to you by the man who made

                   , but when it came on shuffle the other day I realized that, in retrospect, it represents the last gasp of the Young Money reign as we knew it. As Nicki descends into a deeper pit of Mad Queen mania with each passing week, Wayne ages into a [still-capable] shadow of his peak self and Drake [gestures at the last 18 months], this 2021 loosie was one of the last times all three titans of 2010s music culture were unified like the old days and gassing each other to spit their best. It’s a shame that it got buried on a Nicki mixtape re-release; it’s too good to not have a proper home, which is yet another example of Drake’s bemusing choices when it comes to album curation. I believe the backstory is that it started as a Drake and Wayne song before he invited Minaj on as well, ultimately giving it to her instead of putting it on his own album, which at the time would’ve been

                  <p style="margin:0;margin-bottom:16px">
                   But because it’s more of a floating loosie it feels a little forgotten, which is too bad. This is the kind of barfest that helped raise the pedestal music fans of a certain age put these three on at their peak as a collective. Wayne sounds locked in, Nicki delivers the kind of boss-bitch stunting that she always excelled at before she started yelling at her own shadow, and Drake closes things out with a titanic verse that easily ranks among his best of the last five years or so. They had a nice run.

Didn’t realize until the opening credits that it was co-written by J.J.
