Luke, Han, and Lando Had a Sweet Star Wars Reunion at Disneyland

-

Disneyland's long-awaited new Star Wars attraction, Galaxy's Edge, officially launched this week, with an epic media preview that included fireworks, a light show, and an appearance from some of the franchise's most beloved stars. Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Billy Dee Williams (aka Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Lando Calrissian) reunited on stage in Anaheim, CA for the event, alongside Star Wars's creator, George Lucas, and the CEO of Disney, Bob Iger.

The attraction has everything a diehard Star Wars fan dreams of, including the Droid Depot, where you can build your own custom droid, and replicas of the most famous spacecrafts from the franchise, including a TIE Fighter, an A-wing Starfighter, and (of course) the Millennium Falcon. As the cast tried to get the iconic starship going in a skit during the opening, Harrison Ford used the moment to pay tribute to Peter Mayhew, the man behind Chewbacca, who died earlier this year. Harrison was heard saying, "Peter, this one's for you!" as he fired up the ship and the fireworks display began. Take a look at some of the memorable moments from the launch ahead, and take a sneak peek at some of the things you'll be able to see at Galaxy's Edge when the attraction officially opens on May 31.

A 20-year-old astrophysics and economics student from New Haven, CT, Jack Atkins made quite the first impression in The Circle season two premiere. He tells viewers straight off, "I'm honestly down to go down as the biggest villain in Circle history. I don't really care." I mean, an intro package doesn't get much better than that. Kudos, Jack! Or shall we say . . . Emily? In the first episode, we learn Jack is here to play a "very strategic, manipulative, cutthroat game." Being a college student, Jack says he's a self-declared nerd but with a wild, goofy side. Nervous his authentic personality (and BDE) might cost him the $100,000 prize, he enters The Circle group chat as Emily, a girly girl from the Windy City, who also happens to be a close friend of his IRL. Jack explains in his confessional that he wants fellow competitors to look at his profile and go "'That's a face I can trust.'" "When it comes to strategy ther...

What Selling Tampa Tells Us About Diversity in Real Estate and Selling Sunset

When it comes to reality TV on Netflix, Selling Sunset is prime real estate (pun intended). Season four dropped on Nov. 24 , and a brand-new spinoff, Selling Tampa , followed on Dec. 15. Unlike Selling Sunset , which follows the drama behind the elite real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group , Selling Tampa spotlights a Florida-based, women-led, Black-owned business, Allure Realty. The show adds much-needed representation to Netflix's real estate reality TV lineup. But Selling Tampa 's creation compels us to take a hard look at Selling Sunset and the representation among its agents in an industry that lacks diversity. In its first season, the cast of Selling Sunset was all white. Agents like Amanza Smith (a mixed-race Black woman) and Vanessa Villela (who is Mexican) joined The Oppenheim Group in seasons two and four, respectively, but most of the nine women dishing the drama on screen on Selling Sunset remain white. Looking at the numbers, this isn't too far ...
