If you’re a fan of the original “Star Wars” trilogy, you are very familiar with the work of editor Marcia Lucas. Having won an Oscar for her work on ‘A New Hope,’ Lucas (who was married to George Lucas until 1983) would go on to contribute to the editing of both sequels, ‘Empire Strikes Back’ and ‘Return of the Jedi.’ But since then, she hasn’t worked on a “Star Wars” project, and she certainly is no fan of what Disney has done with the franchise in its most recent entries.

When you see an actor like Tom Holland secure A-list status at a young age, you have to assume it all came really quickly. Clearly, he didn’t spend two decades toiling away at auditions and bit roles before landing the career-defining role.

After the release of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” back in December of last year, you could almost feel this collective relief felt by the cast members involved, including Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, and John Boyega.
