Star Wars is back on the big screen, and so is a fight over who gets to tell your story when you’re famous.

Nobody Told Billy Joel the Movie Was Happening
Stephen Colbert is leaving with class, according to Richard Crouse, but the format itself isn’t going anywhere. Billy Joel has been warning filmmakers since 2021 that they have no right to his life or his music. Paranormal Activity cost $15,000 and made $193 million, so maybe horror is the smartest bet in the business.

Grogu Doesn’t Speak. He Doesn’t Need To.
The Mandalorian and Grogu is a theme park ride more than a story, but Grogu’s soulful eyes carry two hours of big creatures and louder explosions. Richard Crouse pairs the film with three Star Wars cocktails, including one that Luke Skywalker drinks at the Lars Homestead.
