NewsThe Hollywood Reporter'Star Wars' Director Rian Johnson Introduces 'Ultimate Jedi' in Darkly Funny Song
Rian Johnson, director of the next Star Wars movie, shared a new track by John Darnielle of the band The Mountain Goats on Twitter Monday morning, writing that the song — titled “The Ultimate Jedi Who Wastes All the Other Jedi and Eats Their Bones” — started as a joke, but “now it’s canon.” And, you know, as the man now in charge of the Skywalker Saga, he’s probably allowed to make that decision. Darnielle’s song offers advice to a new Jedi, which starts well— “Do your best in city or in swampland/Peace over anger, honor over hate” — before taking a surprising turn midway through: “At the end of all your days, one Jedi waits for you/With the dust of Jedi bones piled high like parsnips on his plate,” he sings.

Consider this week’s news about the discovery of a new primate species there — and the name that scientists have given it. As reported by the BBC, researchers have determined that a particular breed of gibbon that dwells in the forests of southwest China is, in fact, different from every other known variety of the primate.

'Star Wars' Actress Daisy Ridley Would 'Love to See the Look on People's Faces' When They Find Out About Rey
Daisy Ridley thinks it’s “quite funny” that people keep asking her who Rey’s parents are — and has hinted that it might not be as big a mystery as everyone thinks. In an interview with Time Out London, the Star Wars: The Force Awakens star, who also narrated the documentary The Eagle Huntress (now in theaters), had a surprising take on the question that has been baffling Star Wars fans for the past year. “I thought a lot was answered in The Force Awakens,” Ridley told the magazine.

NewsYahoo MoviesDaisy Ridley Assures Fans That Rey Toys Will Arrive With 'Star Wars: Episode VIII'
Daisy Ridley was the breakout star of Star Wars: The Force Awakens — no huge surprise in retrospect, given that her character Rey is the story’s primary hero — but in the pre-release merchandise plans, she somehow received short shrift. Rey was conspicuously absent in numerous toy sets, perhaps most notably in the initial tie-in version of Monopoly. The disrespect didn’t sit well with fans or with director J.J. Abrams, and though the issue was retroactively rectified, it still shadows the franchise as eyes turn to the marketing of the as-yet-untitled Star Wars: Episode VIII in 2017. ...

NewsNick SchagerJames Cameron Throws Some Shade at 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'
James Cameron is responsible for the two most lucrative hits in box-office history – Avatar ($2.79 billion) and Titanic ($2.19 billion) – and not even J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($2.07 billion) could quite overtake them globally. As if maintaining financial supremacy over that iconic franchise weren’t enough, however, Cameron has now weighed in on the seventh installment of the Star Wars saga – and his diplomatic comments hardly sound like acclaim. In a new interview that appeared online yesterday, Cameron spoke on a wide range of topics, but it’s his thoughts on The Force Awakens that have made the most noise, because he seems to carefully word his response in order to avoid ruffling anyone’s feathers.
