The short film is part of the Star Wars: Made GREAT in Britain campaign, a collaboration between Disney, Lucasfilm and the UK Governmentâs GREAT campaign, celebrating the British inspiration, creativity and innovation involved in the Star Wars saga.

Another great interview with Ben Mendelsohn this time for The Guardian!
Few actors have his degree of iron control over their faces; no one says more facially by doing less. His vocal dexterity is also remarkable. His talk is effervescent and brutally blunt by turns, punctuated by sharp barks of laughter and a goodly sprinkling of âfucksâ, as he ranges widely â here in a tone appropriate to a biker bar at closing time, here in one more suited to bone-dry academia â on esoteric themes that appeal to him in the moment. Talking with him is a journey and a joy.

Read the full press release on this:
In time for the launch of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, eBay, the ultimate Christmas destination, is making one young Star Wars fanâs dream come true.Â
eBay has challenged YouTuber Colin Furze to build a giant AT-ACT, sourcing everything from eBay. To complete the challenge, the four legged Imperial Walker will be filled with some of the greatest presents anyone could wish for this Christmas, all bought new from eBay. The final structure will stand at 5.5 metres high using materials from over 20 sellers on eBay and filled with the latest gadget and toys all available from eBay.Â
Colin Furze is a popular British garage inventor with over 3.9 million fans watching his creative builds on his YouTube channel. Previous projects have included a homemade 360 swing, and hand-built jet bicycle. eBay has filmed the entire journey from idea, to build, to reveal of the one of a kind AT-ACT with clips appearing across Colinâs and eBayâs social channels.Â
The complete giant AT-ACT appears in the garden of the young Star Wars fan, to surprise him and make his Christmas dreams come true. And he doesnât know that itâs bursting with presents from eBay until he climbs into the giant structure.
If you live in London you might be lucky enough to win one of these cool helmets. Here’s how:
