Mark Hamill Once Again Shared His Dark Motivations for Luke in ‘The Last Jedi’

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-08-31 04:15:35

Luke Skywalker had a wife and a kid who both killed themselves. Well, not really, but that’s what Mark Hamill internalized in order to get into the headspace of the character for Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. The actor has shared this information before, but it’s been a while, so we figured it was worth discussing again with a little distance. Speaking on Bullseye with Jesse Thorn, Hamill explained the headcanon he created to try and understand why Luke Skywalker would have left the Je

And what's interesting about this is this deal ended up causing some backlash from the actors in SAG-AFTRA, which is the union that represents actors and voice actors and stuff like that, where they were arguing that this is an example of AI-generated voices replacing their work, their very human work, without authorization, and

The Live-Action ‘Lilo & Stitch’ Is Getting Its Inevitable Sequel

Dean Fleischer Camp’s summer blockbuster hit Lilo & Stitch has officially been given the Disney green light for a sequel. It makes sense for Disney to make the move official today, on June 26—the date co-opted by the company to be an unofficial Stitch holiday inspired by his experiment code from the film, 626. The first film was a blockbuster hit for the studio, which made $920 million globally after being made for a mere $100 million, which is small considering Disney’s usually oversized budge

Muvera: Making multi-vector retrieval as fast as single-vector search

Neural embedding models have become a cornerstone of modern information retrieval (IR). Given a query from a user (e.g., “How tall is Mt Everest?”), the goal of IR is to find information relevant to the query from a very large collection of data (e.g., the billions of documents, images, or videos on the Web). Embedding models transform each datapoint into a single-vector “embedding”, such that semantically similar datapoints are transformed into mathematically similar vectors. The embeddings are
