Was waiting for this, the worst take possible... Of course it's from the newspaper that hasn't published circulation figures since 2020 because it has so few readers. A reminder: the privatised railway collapsed under its own failures. BR had privatisation inflicted on it.

Our first hints of the galactic landscape post-Exegol. Very intriguing! I love the idea of a looser galaxy without a massive governing body. Desperate times, but in a different way for this world.

Timeless humour! A 2,000 year-old Roman souvenir pen with a joke inscription roughly equivalent to: “I went to Rome and all I got you was this cheap pen!" 😂 Dated circa 70 AD, this iron stylus pen was recovered in London during excavations by MOLA. 📷 Juan Jose Fuldain/MOLA #Archaeology

The photo by Juan Jose Fuldain for MOLA shows four images of the same Roman iron stylus (pen) one below the other, with knib to the left. The stylus is octagonal in shape, with a dot-punched inscription along its length on four alternate sides. The stylus is 132 mm long and 5 mm thick, and the letters are circa 2 mm high. The four images of the pen show the four lines of inscribed text (highlighted) which read: 'ab urbe v[e]n[i] munus tibi gratum adf (e)ro acul[eat]um ut habe[a]s memor[ia]m nostra(m) rogo si fortuna darlelt quo possem largius ut longa via ceu sacculus est (v)acuus' Translated as I have come from the City. I bring you a welcome gift with a sharp point that you may remember me. I ask, if fortune allowed, that I might be able (to give) as generously as the way is long (and) as my purse is empty.' This inscription is generally interpreted by scholars as a humorous, tongue-in-cheek acknowledgment by the giver of the cheapness of the gift.

Dave steps out to the SWCLA showcase and reveals a "BEN SOLO LIVES?" t-shirt. He cups his ear to the audience and slowly cranks a giant Frankenstein set of gears & arcing coils until Adam emerges from a glowing WBW wolf portal wearing a "BEN SOLO LIVES!" t-shirt. Everyone in the arena gets one.

Oh hey, the late night D23 press release snuck in a quick official synopsis for #StarWars Starfighter! “When a cynical rogue is confronted by his mysterious past, he is hurled into a dangerous adventure across the galaxy that puts him on a crash course with destiny.”
