Two masters of comedy duke it out, Jedi-style
Lightsaber duels are known for allowing old friends to get reacquainted. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader did a little catching up in A New Hope, and a pair of former SNL cast members did the same -- albeit with much cooler sound effects. Uproxx reports that Seth Meyers accidentally received a lightsaber from J.J. Abrams and used it for mundane tasks around the office before sparring with his buddy and former colleague, Andy Samberg. As always, someone loses a limb...or two.
Congrats, Kathleen Kennedy!
Kathleen Kennedy was recently ranked no. 42 on Fortune's Most Powerful Women list, highlighting her journey from a young secretary to the current president of Lucasfilm. It turns out Kennedy was also the quarterback of her seventh-grade boys football team. Doesn't surprise us. She has a tremendous Hollywood-winning percentage.
