Jon Burlingame editorWith “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” debuting Friday on Disney+, English composer Natalie Holt becomes the first woman to score a live-action “Star Wars” project, on the heels of her success with Marvel’s “Loki.”She spent four months on the project, including two months in Los Angeles recording with many of the same musicians who recorded John Williams’ new theme for the series, as revealed by Variety in mid-February.“It’s been such a fine balance, all the way along, finding the right level of ‘Star Wars’ homage, because we’ve got heritage characters,” she says, referring to Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor), Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen) and others, “and adding in new elements as well,” she says. “These heritage characters have big themes that everybody expects to hear when they get on screen.
Why a passport stamp is important for British tourists going on holiday to EU countries
10.05.2022 - 18:59 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Many British tourists will be taking their first holidays in the Schengen area of the EU since Brexit this summer. Coronavirus restrictions have been relaxed in countries across Europe and airlines are laying on extra services to cope with demand.
Since the UK left the EU at the end of 2020, new rules have applied to UK passport holders holidaying within the EU and the Schengen zone covering most of the EU (but not Ireland). Now, Brits can go to Schengen countries for a maximum of three months without having to apply for a visa. Before Brexit, UK passport holders benefited from freedom of movement and could remain in the EU and Schengen for as long as they wanted.
Under the new rules, Brits can travel to the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. And, unlike before Brexit, their passports will be stamped when they enter and leave Schengen countries.

Popular destinations like Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Greece, Malta and Cyprus are all in the Schengen area.
It is important because there is now a limit on the amount of time UK passport holders (who don't also own EU nation passports) can spend in the European Union and Schengen area without having to get a visa. Brits can spend up to 90 days in a 180-day
