We May Be a Step Closer to Seeing the Original ‘Star Wars’ Again

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-03-19 12:30:24

Fans can argue day and night about Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy but there’s no denying she pulled an awesome move earlier this week. As previously reported, the British Film Institute had been advertising that it would be screening a very rare print of George Lucas’ Star Wars from its original theatrical run.

9 Best 2-in-1 Laptops (2025), Tested and Reviewed

A 2-in-1 is a laptop that can go from a standard clamshell laptop configuration to a tablet setup. Over the years, there are really two types of designs that fall into this category: the convertible 2-in-1 laptop and the detachable tablet. Laptops with rotating displays—also called convertibles—use a 360-degree hinge that can position the screen flat, in “tent” mode, or flush against the underside of the laptop.
