Auf die Produktion von GoT hat es zum Glück keine Auswirkungen lt. HBO:

Don’t worry, Game of Thrones fans, HBO isn’t going to have to make Vancouver look like Westeros.

Contrary to some presumptive online reports, Brexit is not expected to financially impact HBO’s Game of Thrones, the premium network tells EW.

Britain’s surprise vote to leave the European Union has prompted some analysts to assume HBO might not be able to draw on a certain filmmaking fund to produce the expected final two seasons. Thrones’ production home base is in Northern Ireland, goes the reasoning, and since Northern Ireland is part of the UK, and the European Regional Development Fund is part of a European program to incentivize productions to film in Europe, part of Thrones’ funding might get cut off.

You’re screwed, thank you, bye

Cameron sollte zunächst die Konsequenzen ziehen.

Das Land scheint gespalten, wenn man die Statistiken betrachtet, wo junge Menschen für den Verbleib abgestimmt haben, während sich ältere Wähler für den Austritt aussprechen. Zudem die Unterschiede zwischen den Großstädten und ländlichen Gebieten, Norden.

Ein Desaster für die Regierung.

Ca. 1,2 Mio. Differenz – nicht wenig:

Die Abwertung des Pfundes zeigt sich bereits.

Gestern noch 1,5008 Dollar, aktuell 1,3666 Dollar (= 1 Pfund).

Ein weiteres Referendum dürfte anstehen.

Die Vorfreude wäre umso größer, wenn wir wüssten, worauf wir uns freuen sollen. :-p

Morgen erscheint Odin Sphere.

Da wo die Kaufbereitschaft im höheren Preissegment niedriger ist, weil man lieber auf solche Sales wartet, wird der Hersteller sich zweimal überlegen, wo er die meiste Arbeit reinsteckt. Da braucht man sich am Ende auch nicht über unspektakuläre Ports wundern. Da wird sich der Hersteller sagen, bei den Ramschpreisen werden die Kunden schon über entsprechende Mängel hinwegsehen können.

Diese Situation dürfte nicht jedem Entwickler schmecken, wo vielleicht jeder Euro zählt, man sich aber dem nicht entziehen kann.

New information about Jyn Erso (The Theory of Everything’s Felicity Jones), the outlaw who has clashed with both the Rebellion and the Empire, and now has a chance to clear her ledger of past wrongs by leading a mission for the good guys. It’s also personal – her father, played by Mads Mikkelson, is a scientist whose knowledge is sought by both sides.

– Finally, confirmation of what fans have hoped ever since the project was announced: Vader is back. We have a run-down of the Sith lord’s first day on set, and what his return means for the larger Star Wars storytelling universe.

Chirrut Imwe (Donnie Yen)

Pronounced chi-RUT, he’s no Jedi, but he’s devoted to their ways and has used his spirituality to overcome his blindness and become a formidable warrior. “Chirrut falls into the category of being a warrior monk,” says Kennedy. “He very much still believes in everything the Jedi were about.” He maintains that belief even though the Jedi are no longer there to protect the galaxy. As director Gareth Edwards puts it: “This idea that magical beings are going to come and save us is going away, and it’s up to normal, everyday people to take a stand to stop evil from dominating the world.”

Director Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn)

This villain is an ambitious Imperial apparatchik who intends to use his squad of Deathtroopers to pulverize this Rebel uprising and ascend into the Emperor’s graces – while avoiding the wrath of his enforcer, Darth Vader. “The bad guy is a lot more terrifying when he’s really smart, and really effective,” says Knoll. “There is a lot of palace intrigue going on in the Empire, with people conspiring to move up the ranks and sabotaging each other. There’s not a lot of loyalty there.”

Saw Gerrera (Forest Whitaker)

Forest Whitaker’s character has been one of the more closely held secrets of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but Lucasfilm is ready now to make his identity official: this shadowy freedom-fighter is Saw Gerrera, a figure with a surprisingly deep background in galactic history.

The warrior — seen in the Rogue One trailer asking, “If you continue to fight, what will you become?” — was actually first seen in season 5 of The Clone Wars animated series, when he was a young man on the planet Onderon, unleashing guerilla combat on the droid army of Separatists who took over his world.

Consider him kind of a battered veteran who leads a band of Rebel extremists,” Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy tells EW. “He’s on the fringe of the Rebel Alliance. Even [they] are a little concerned about him.”

One reason we saved his reveal until now, in addition to him having a deeper backstory than the other new characters, is that Saw is an ally to the Rebel squad in Rogue One, but he’s not really one of them. “He’s off on his own,” Kennedy says.

In Claudia Gray’s recent Leia-centric novel Star Wars: Bloodline, set approximately midway between the events of Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, the princess-turned-politician is confronted by a rival who challenges her on the “terrorist tactics of the Rebel Alliance,” specifically citing “the campaigns of Saw Gerrera’s Partisans.”
