The post A ‘Star Wars’ Actor Rewrites The Entire New Trilogy They Starred In appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. It feels like we don’t hear all that much from actor John Boyega that much, outside of when he’s talking about Star Wars as of late. And in a recent Popverse interview, he went so far as to rework the entire trilogy, in terms of what he’d do differently, as he’s been vocal about what he believed went wrong with the original. Here’s what he said: “It would be mad. First of all, we’re not getting rid of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, all these people. We’re not doing that. The first thing we’re going to do is fulfill their story, fulfill their legacy. We’re going to make a good moment of handing on the baton.” “Luke Skywalker wouldn’t be disappearing on a rock … Hell no. Standing there and he’s, like, a projector? I would want to give those characters way more way more” By the end of the trilogy, all three major Star Wars leads are dead. Han Solo killed by his son, Kylo Ren. Luke Skywalker fading into the ether after force projecting himself to face Kylo Ren. Leia had to be written off due to the tragic death of Carrie Fisher during the production of the trilogy. So Boyega would halt at least the first two deaths, as it did come off as strange that “passing the baton” was mainly killing all the big characters. He continues: “Our new characters will not be overpowered in these movies. They won’t just grab stuff and know what to do with it… No. You’ve got to struggle like every other character in this franchise.” This is likely a reference to both Rey and himself. Rey was frequently criticized as a “Mary Sue,” possessing immense power and skill in everything from flying to fighting to the force despite growing up as… The post A ‘Star Wars’ Actor Rewrites The Entire New Trilogy They Starred In appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

A ‘Star Wars’ Actor Rewrites The Entire New Trilogy They Starred In

2025/09/25 02:37

It feels like we don’t hear all that much from actor John Boyega that much, outside of when he’s talking about Star Wars as of late. And in a recent Popverse interview, he went so far as to rework the entire trilogy, in terms of what he’d do differently, as he’s been vocal about what he believed went wrong with the original.

Here’s what he said:

By the end of the trilogy, all three major Star Wars leads are dead. Han Solo killed by his son, Kylo Ren. Luke Skywalker fading into the ether after force projecting himself to face Kylo Ren. Leia had to be written off due to the tragic death of Carrie Fisher during the production of the trilogy. So Boyega would halt at least the first two deaths, as it did come off as strange that “passing the baton” was mainly killing all the big characters. He continues:

This is likely a reference to both Rey and himself. Rey was frequently criticized as a “Mary Sue,” possessing immense power and skill in everything from flying to fighting to the force despite growing up as a loner scavenger. And Boyega’s Finn was criticized for somehow knowing how to expertly wield a lightsaber against Kylo Ren the first time he picked one up. Boyega didn’t say it this time, but he’s been vocal in the past about his disappointment that Finn seemed clearly written to be force-sensitive, but nothing at all ever came of that. More:

The Force Unleashed

Lucasarts

The Old Republic has many, at least formerly canon stories, but it was also highlighted in a series of beloved video games. He also cites another game, Force Unleashed, which starred an incredibly powerful (honestly overpowered) apprentice to Darth Vader, Starkiller. I remember at one point crashing an entire Star Destroyer using the force. Sort of an odd pick for a story to dive into, but sure.

I don’t blame Boyega for being dissatisfied with the films and the part he was relegated to after a promising start. But yes, he’s right about larger issues with the film that had nothing to do with him as well. He’s said he would return to the series if asked, but as of now, it’s not clear if there is a movie actively being produced in that time period.

Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.

Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

The post Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “It’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress,” writes Pipes. Getty Images Washington is addicted to taxing success. Now, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is floating a plan to skim half the patent earnings from inventions developed at universities with federal funding. It’s being sold as a way to shore up programs like Social Security. In reality, it’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress. Yes, taxpayer dollars support early-stage research. But the real payoff comes later—in the jobs created, cures discovered, and industries launched when universities and private industry turn those discoveries into real products. By comparison, the sums at stake in patent licensing are trivial. Universities collectively earn only about $3.6 billion annually in patent income—less than the federal government spends on Social Security in a single day. Even confiscating half would barely register against a $6 trillion federal budget. And yet the damage from such a policy would be anything but trivial. The true return on taxpayer investment isn’t in licensing checks sent to Washington, but in the downstream economic activity that federally supported research unleashes. Thanks to the bipartisan Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, universities and private industry have powerful incentives to translate early-stage discoveries into real-world products. Before Bayh-Dole, the government hoarded patents from federally funded research, and fewer than 5% were ever licensed. Once universities could own and license their own inventions, innovation exploded. The result has been one of the best returns on investment in government history. Since 1996, university research has added nearly $2 trillion to U.S. industrial output, supported 6.5 million jobs, and launched more than 19,000 startups. Those companies pay…

Bitcoin Exchange Balance Drops To Six-Year Low Amid Shortage

Bitcoin Exchange Balance Drops To Six-Year Low Amid Shortage

The post Bitcoin Exchange Balance Drops To Six-Year Low Amid Shortage appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The amount of Bitcoin held on centralized exchanges plunged to a six-year low as the asset climbed to a new all-time high. Bitcoin notched a new all-time high on Sunday morning, reaching a little over $125,700 on Coinbase, according to Tradingview. Its previous peak was $124,500 on Coinbase on Aug. 14. Bitcoin (BTC) pulled back by 13.5% by Sept. 1 but has recovered strongly over the past week as “Uptober” began.    “Bitcoin hits new all-time high … And most people still don’t even know what Bitcoin is,” commented Nova Dius President Nate Geraci. “If Bitcoin is able to convincingly break $126,500, then chances are price will go a lot higher and quickly,” said analyst Rekt Capital on Saturday, before the latest price peak. BTC prices reach a new peak above $125,000. Source: Tradingview Exchange balances drop to six-year low The total Bitcoin balance on centralized exchanges fell to a six-year low of 2.83 million BTC on Saturday, according to Glassnode. The last time that there were fewer coins stored on exchanges was early June 2019, when the asset was trading around $8,000 in the depths of a bear market. Blockchain analytics platform CryptoQuant has a slightly lower total exchange reserve figure of 2.45 million BTC, which puts it at a seven-year low.  Both platforms show that the BTC exchange balance has dropped sharply over the past couple of weeks. More than 114,000 BTC worth over $14 billion has left exchanges over the past fortnight, according to Glassnode. When Bitcoin moves off centralized exchanges into self-custody, institutional funds, or digital asset treasuries, it suggests holders are planning to keep their coins long-term rather than sell them. Bitcoin sitting on exchanges is considered “available supply” that could be liquidated and hit the market at any moment. BTC balance on exchanges dropped to…
