Matt Smith Joins STAR WARS: STARFIGHTER as the Villain — GeekTyrant
Matt Smith has officially joined the cast of Star Wars: Starfighter , and he's stepping into the dark side of the Force. The House of the Dragon and Doctor Who star has been cast in a villain role in Star Wars: Starfighter , the upcoming film from Shawn Levy and Lucasfilm. Smith will go head-to-head with previously announced stars Ryan Gosling and Mia Goth in this standalone adventure set in the Star Wars universe. Smith's casting marks a second brush with the franchise. Some of you might remember that he was once rumored to appear in The Rise of Skywalker . That role, however, never made it to screen. 'We were close to being in it, but it never quite happened. I think the thing they were thinking of before. Eventually, the part became obsolete and they didn't need it. So, I never got to be in 'Star Wars,'' Smith shared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast back in 2021. He added, 'It was a really groovy part and concept. It was a big thing, a big story detail. A transformative 'Star Wars' story detail. But it never quite got over the line. It was a big shift in the history of the franchise.' So while fans never got to see Smith's mysterious original role, rumored to be the son of Emperor Palpatine, it looks like the Force had other plans. This time, he's officially locked in. Beyond Star Wars , Smith has had a career packed with wild genre swings. From his Emmy-nominated role as Prince Philip in The Crown , to his unsettling performance in Last Night in Soho , to the campy madness of Morbius , he's shown he can shift gears effortlessly. He's also about to appear in Darren Aronofsky's crime thriller Caught Stealing with Austin Butler and Zoë Kravitz. Star Wars: Starfighter is being written by Jonathan Tropper, who previously teamed up with Levy on The Adam Project and This Is Where I Leave You . Tropper also created the Apple TV+ series Your Friends & Neighbors , so this project is in the hands of storytellers who know how to blend emotion, action, and character. This new standalone Star Wars film takes place roughly five years after the events of The Rise of Skywalker , jumping into the timeline at a point where the galaxy is still reeling from the end of the Skywalker saga. With fresh faces and a completely new story, this isn't about rehashing old tales, it's about carving new legends. The project was officially announced by Kathleen Kennedy and Dave Filoni during this year's Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo. That's when the title and timeline details were confirmed, and fans began speculating what kind of world Starfighter might introduce. Production on Star Wars: Starfighter is set to begin this fall, and it's aiming for a theatrical release on May 28, 2027. Source: Deadline

AI version of Parkland massacre victim isn't the answer to any of our problems
On Monday night, former CNN blowhard Jim Acosta interviewed a slain victim of the 2018 Parkland, Florida, massacre. You read that correctly. Acosta, who now has his own Substack and accompanying YouTube channel, spoke with an artificial intelligence avatar of Joaquin Oliver — one of 17 victims senselessly gunned down by a deranged former classmate at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Advertisement 5 Former CNN reporter Jim Acosta interviewed an AI avatar of Joaquin Oliver (above) who was murdered in the 2018 Parkland massacre. The Jim Acosta Show Joaquin was only 17 when he died. Monday would have been his 25th birthday, surely a difficult day for his loved ones and a moment to lament his stolen future. 'Remembering Joaquin: AI Brings Voice to gun Victims' was the title of the episode. A rather strange summation from Acosta, who has made himself into a warrior against so-called disinformation. Advertisement In reality, it was more of a bizarre AI demonstration than an interview. Acosta asked the computer-generated stand-in about his own 'solution for gun violence.' 'Great question,' said the avatar. 'I believe in a mix of stronger gun control laws, mental health support and community engagement. We need to create safe spaces for conversations and connections, making sure everyone feels seen and heard. It's about building a culture of kindness and understanding. What do you think about that?' Despite the likeness sounding robotic, Acosta acted like he was having a thoughtful human interaction. He went on to ask 'Joaquin' about his favorite movies and sports. Advertisement 5 Jim Acosta (left) also interviewed Manny Oliver about plans for his late son's AI avatar. The Jim Acosta Show ''Star Wars' is such an epic saga. The adventures, the characters and that iconic music are unforgettable,' the avatar responded, adding that he also likes the Miami Heat and LeBron James. 'Joaquin' ended each answer by tossing an automated-sounding question back to Acosta — bringing to mind the computer in the 1983 Matthew Broderick movie 'War Games.' And yet Acosta continued with the unsettling charade. He noted that we've heard politicians' takes on the shooting, but 'now we're hearing from one of the kids. That's important.' Advertisement It's also false. And grotesque. Like a dystopian plot come to life. We were hearing not from a victim but an uncanny-valley likeness uploaded with activist talking points and, according to his father, Manny Oliver, some of Joaquin's own writings and social media posts. 5 Joaquin Oliver, who was killed in the Parkland shooting, is seen on the right with his parents Manny and Patricia. The Jim Acosta Show Acosta was rightly and roundly criticized for 'interviewing' an AI avatar. In response to the backlash, the victim's father said, 'If the problem you have is with the AI, then you have the wrong problem. The real problem is my son was shot.' No one is arguing that last part. The massacre in Parkland was the result of many systemic failures, and a bloody stain on our history. I understand that the Oliver family's grief must be so immense that they'll do anything to keep their son's legacy alive. However, it's not about how Joaquin died, but the decision to resurrect their son as an activist with Acosta aiding and abetting this dangerous delusion. The whole endeavor raises ethical questions and further muddies our already twisted reality. 5 The massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School left 17 innocent people dead. AFP/Getty Images Advertisement Are we really hurtling toward transhumanism this quickly? Do the dead have any say in how they are used after they leave this Earth? Joaquin's father emphasized that he understood this is indeed AI and that he cannot bring back his son. But, he said, hearing his child's voice brings comfort to him and his wife. No one should deny them that private pursuit of comfort. But he is also hoping his son's AI becomes an influencer. In 2024, Manny Oliver and his gun-control group 'Change the Ref' also used his son's voice to send a message to members of Congress, urging them to vote for more gun control measures. Advertisement 5 Manuel Oliver, seen with his wife Patricia Oliver and a photo of their son Joaquin, also formed the gun-control activist group Change the Ref. Larry Marano 'Now Joaquin is gonna start having followers … He's going to start uploading videos. This is just the beginning,' said Manny, adding that 'moving forward, we will have Joaquin on stage in the middle of a debate. And knowledge is solid. His knowledge is unlimited.' But can a computer really know the thoughts and soul of a human being? Advertisement Using AI as a vessel isn't going to save the world or stop gun violence. From what I've seen thus far, it will just add more well-meaning but ultimately nonsubstantive sentiments to this contentious subject. Let's not be like Acosta and pretend otherwise.
