Disney and Lucasfilm recently announced a slew of new TV projects taking place in a galaxy far, far away which were prompted by the success of The Mandalorian, the first live-action series in the history of the franchise. That said, all of the pieces on the chessboard seem to be moving into place. I am merely a fan who is connecting dots. For the moment, this falls squarely in the speculation category. Warning: spoilers ahead for The Mandalorian season 2. Indeed, we may well be seeing a version of Heir to the Empire in the coming years that could position Grand Admiral Thrawn as the biggest threat to peace in the galaxy since Palpatine. Many new shows are coming to the streaming service in the next few years and there is at least a possibility that an all-timer of a classic story will be resurrected as part of those plans. The Mandalorian season 2 may be over but the era of Star Wars on Disney+ is just beginning. 5/10/2023 0 Comments Jo jo moyes after youThen a figure from Will’s past appears and hijacks all her plans, propelling her into a very different future.įor Lou Clark, life after Will Traynor means learning to fall in love again, with all the risks that brings.

Yes, Italians do play American football, to one degree or another, and the Parma Panthers desperately want a former NFL player-any former NFL player-at their helm. Great, says Rick-for which team? The mighty Panthers of Parma, Italy. Against enormous odds Arnie finally locates just such a team and informs Rick that, miraculously, he can in fact now be a starting quarterback. But all Rick knows is football, and he insists that his agent, Arnie, find a team that needs him. Overnight, he became a national laughingstock and, of course, was immediately cut by the Browns and shunned by all other teams. With a 17-point lead and just minutes to go, Rick provided what was arguably the worst single performance in the history of the NFL. In the AFC Championship game against Denver, to the surprise and dismay of virtually everyone, Rick actually got into the game. Rick Dockery was the third-string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. 5/9/2023 0 Comments Batman new 52 omnibus vol 2
