Star wars the last jedi

Ahmed Best is getting a shot at redemption by returning to the Star Wars universe as a Jedi in The Mandalorian . The actor voiced the infamously CGI character Jar Jar Binks in the prequel trilogy of the George Lucas saga. Audiences were not fond of the Gungan and the character was phased out in the subsequent films. Best made an appearance in Chapter 20 of the Disney+ series and the actor took to social media to show his gratitude. “Good to be back. There is so much to say and share. It’s going to take a couple of days. But, for now, I’ll just say thank you to all that have held me up and made me better,” he shared on Instagram. In Season 3, Episode 4 of The Mandalorian titled “Chapter 20: The Foundling,” Grogu has a flashback to the moment when the Jedi temple was attacked.

EXCLUSIVE: The traditional Hollywood whodunit was never completely killed off (Robert Altman’s Gosford Park memorably revived its formula and formalities back in 2002, for instance; Kenneth Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express success in 2017 will yield a sequel next year with Death on the Nile , while Clue is getting dusted off for a Ryan Reynolds revamp ). But the once-popular genre was bumped off of most movie theater marquees decades ago. That only adds to the intrigue surrounding writer-director-producer Rian Johnson ’s killer success with Knives Out , a cinematic tribute to Agatha Christie that deftly updates the classic all-star whodunit by rewiring the genre’s devices.
