Happy Sunday, and welcome to a very brief edition of \u201cThis Week, In a Galaxy Far, Far Away<\/a>\u201c. There was absolutely nothing happening this week!\u00a0The Mandalorian and Grogu held steady at the US box office at #6, but it suffered another drop<\/a> of more than 50%. It seems pretty definitive now that it will become the first Star Wars movie to not gross $200M at the domestic box office. Worldwide, it may not cross $400M either \u2014 a failure, by all means.\u00a0Obsession<\/a> has already outgrossed it in the US.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In happier news, though, we have a new Character Spotlight on Lama Su<\/a>, the Prime Minister of Kamino during the production of the clone army. Tyler and Tom also had an interesting discussion on Thursday\u2019s\u00a0SWNN Live! about the box office prospects for\u00a0Starfighter\u00a0next year. Check it out here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Miguel Fern\u00e1ndez is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings,\u00a0but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as movies from Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Happy Sunday, and welcome to a very brief edition of \u201cThis Week, In a Galaxy Far, Far Away\u201c.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":639112,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,2591,38500,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-639111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-star-wars","tag-this-week-far-far-away","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/639111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=639111"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/639111\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/639112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=639111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=639111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=639111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
