We’ve always been fans of Demerzel, the ancient android played by the excellent Laura Birn, but season three has really elevated the character—even beyond that big season-two reveal that she’s been moving the chess pieces on behalf of the galaxy-ruling Empire for generations. That was a monumental bit of information. But this week’s episode, “The Stress of Her Regard,” dropped a bombshell that’s even more sta

If two movies come out that are too similar, it’s likely to split the audience and hurt both of them. That seems like a no-brainer point of view. And yet, 40 years ago this week, three movies were released in a seven-day span th
