Laura Dern has teased fans by saying she is open to a Star Wars return — despite her character sacrificing her life to save the Resistance at the end of The Last Jedi.
Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo is last seen on board her ship
before devastating the enemy fleet in an apparent suicide attack to
allow her comrades to escape.
Her death is not seen on screen and a fan theory has emerged speculating that she could have survived in an escape pod.
Dern said: “This is the message to send to the world: I am
absolutely comfortable with that theory. I’m thrilled to be a hero but I
remember a long time ago, someone saying, ‘No one dies in space’.

“I’m eager to learn about the future — or the past — of this
character only because I loved playing her so much it would be
heartbreaking not to have an experience of playing her again. Whether or
not there’s an escape pod — unfortunately I’m not the one that knows!”

Dern, 51, who also stars in TV show Big Little Lies,
described her experience in The Last Jedi as “totally incredible”. She
said: “From the moment the seven-year-old in me wakes up and you’re
having lunch in Hollywood with [director] Rian Johnson, an independent
filmmaker you really like, and he starts talking to you about having
written a role for you in something, and talks about the complexities of
the character ... I listened and I was interested...
“I said, ‘This is very abstract and other-worldly...’ and he
said, ‘Yes — it is Star Wars!’ Everything about it was magical. On set,
you’d be having a tea break and Chewbacca would come over and give you a
hug.” Star Wars: The Last Jedi is out on digital download, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on April 9

Who said we didn't need one in the budget meeting... Ah, yes Sponsored Disaster recovery systems mostly suck. There are a seemingly unlimited number of them, but finding ones that aren't either utterly maddening or ruinously expensive is rare. Fortunately, ease of use is starting to be a product dimension that the storage industry is competing on again, so options are emerging. Regardless of the size of your organization, backups are absolutely essentially. Though it's been said before, it needs to be said again: if your data doesn't exist in at least two places, then it does not exist. In a perfect world, organizations of all sizes would also hold disaster recovery dear, with both backups and disaster recover...

After addressing the topic of sexual harassment and misconduct in Silicon Valley last month, I finally got my hands on a copy of Brotopia , an eye-opening new book, and a lot of executives should be happy I did not pursue my career in law enforcement. Otherwise I would be working my butt off to get them off the streets behind bars. Everyone connected to tech -- especially investors, employees or customers of tech firms -- should read this book. Specifically, for investors, it will give you insights into a level of extreme avoidable risk that has not been factored into the market -- at least not yet. If I were interested in developing a strategy either to ensure a Republican win in the mid-term elections or to move the center of tech to China, India, South Korea or Israel, thi...
