40 of the Funniest Burns from the Week of November 4, 2024

According to Deadline, audiences are headed back to a galaxy far, far away. Lucasfilm has tapped Simon Kinberg for an expansion of the Star Wars universe, which is set to pick up where 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker left off. Kinberg plans to create three new entries in the Skywalker Saga, and would join the likes of James Mangold, Taika Waititi and Donald Glover in developing work within the iconic franchise. 

Still, when the news initially broke, one doubter tweeted that Lucasfilm “teases next slate of fake projects that will be canceled.” 

Ouch!

That said, the revolving door of canceled projects at Lucasfilms was hardly the only thing getting sliced and diced this week. Other digital burn victims include a Candyland college, an ageless wonder and the worst thing about Australia.
