Getting rid of CEO Travis Kalanick has apparently not magically resolved all of ride-hailing giant Uber’s many, many problems, with the company now facing a lawsuit. After months of brutal battles and painful deaths, Earth’s mightiest heroes all finally get a chance to take on Steve Rogers himself, newly in possession of a.

All the Details and Secrets We Spotted in the Latest Star Wars: The Last Jedi Footage. D2. 3 is upon us this weekend, and with it, a new behind- the- scenes glimpse at the next chapter in the Star Wars saga. But although the movie didn’t offer us a full trailer, what we did get was still jam- packed with little hints and clues as to what’s to come for Luke, Leia, Rey, Finn, and Poe. The opening salvo of the reel gives us a few intriguing shots of sets, locations, and characters. There’s a great big rocky set—which we’ll see later is actually home to a massive pool of water—the bridge of a Star Destroyer under construction, huts on Luke’s new home of Ahch- To, and rather spectacularly, Chewbacca getting his hair done. Some very slick looking speeders blanketed by the sun. Judging by some of the things we see later on in this reel, these appear to be for the glitzy streets of Canto Bight, a casino world that both Finn (John Boyega) and new character Rose Tico (Kelly Marie Tran) venture to at some point in the movie. A poor camera man gets doused in red soil—meaning that this is presumably Crait, the mineral planet from the first trailer and seemingly the site of a really major battle at some point in the film, judging by some of the character’s we’ll later see filming stuff on this new planet. Rey (Daisy Ridley) pops up from behind a camera, giving us a good look at the hairstyle so secret it somehowbecame a months- long Star Wars rumor. Night on Ahch- To.. Luke would maybe invite Chewie to stay in his home, but apparently not, as the Wookiee goes solo camping with the Falcon. Jobs Find a New Job in the Arts.

It’s not the orange of Poe and his fellow X- Wing pilots, so maybe Finn suits up to use one of those big gunships we saw in the first trailer’s space battle. One of the most mysterious, intriguing shots of the whole reel is this one we see of General Leia (the late, ever- great Carrie Fisher). She’s not on a bridge of a Resistance ship as we’ve seen repeatedly already, but instead looking distraught on the grey, cracked surface of a planet. It doesn’t quite look like Crait, and it doesn’t look like what we’ve seen of Ahch- To either, so could it be a new world altogether? Our first look at a pivotal scene that’s presumably from the earliest moments of the film, knowing that it picks up immediately after the end of The Force Awakens: Rey returns the Skywalker family lightsaber to its former owner, Luke (Mark Hamill). Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) goes business formal, keeping the helmet but ditching his pleated robes for a First Order officer’s tunic and a new, totally- trying- to- be- grandpa cloak. In fact, there’s been a rumor that it might literally be Vader’s cloak, so there’s a possibility that poor Ben has gone full cosplay. The location he’s on looks very Death Star, but it’s likely Supreme Leader Snoke’s grand Star Destroyer—referred to in reports as a Mega Destroyer—which we’ve heard is a pivotal location in the film. Here’s a look at what Kylo’s staring at in the above shot—which definitely looks like a big- ass throne for Snoke to sit in, seemingly confirming this is the Mega Destroyer the First Order’s leader calls home. A reverse look at that big explosion we see Poe (Oscar Isaac) and BB- 8 run to in the first trailer—one that gives us our first really good look at the A- Wings, making their return to the franchise in both original red and Resistance White/Blue flavors. Look at these adorable little space heroes! Sure, it’s an isolated behind- the- scenes shot, but could it imply that all four of our young heroes will be meeting up in the film at some point? We know at the very least a few will, thanks to some later shots in the reel. Our first look at a nasty- looking new weapon for the Stormtroopers (or at least a special version of them, given the new black shoulder pads). Previous reports described this clawed battlestaff as also being electrified, because the big spikey claws didn’t quite look sinister enough as is. This gorgeous animatronic creature looks a little more The Last Guardian than The Last Jedi. The environment seems to match set pictures from filming for Canto Bight, some of the first pictures ever seen from filming— and the gated, horse- esque creature could be from a stable we recently heard of in a set report that Finn and Rose duck into during an elaborate chase sequence that ends up with them riding this creature, allegedly called a Falthier. Look, I don’t have anything to add here other than HOW COOL DOES THIS ICY WOLF LOOK!? A very tiny Casino staff member on Canto Bight prepares his space- gambling table. The design is very reminiscent of Colonel Gascon from Clone Wars, who was from a diminutive race called the Zilkin. Our best look yet at Laura Dern’s mysterious new character—Resistance Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo. She might be sharing a warm greeting with General Organa here, but we’ve heard quite a few reports that she ends up playing a more antagonistic role despite being on the hero’s side. The internet’s boyfriend Poe Dameron takes his seat in a cockpit—one that appears to be a cockpit of one of the Resistance Skimmers we saw gorgeously gliding across Crait’s salted surface in the first trailer. This seemingly innocuous shot of Chewie might come during a jokey sequence from John Boyega mocking director Rian Johnson, but note the environment: he’s on the Resistance ship bridge set we’ve seen Poe, Leia, and Finn all on as well. Given it doesn’t appear that he instantly returns to the Resistance after dropping Rey on Ahch- To, could he have come back with a few more passengers in tow when he eventually does? We saw the very close- up version of this in the trailer itself, but this wider shot gives us a better look at the fact that Rey is seemingly charging into battle on Ahch- To. There’s been a report floating around forever about a major duel on the planet featuring Rey, Luke, Kylo Ren, and the Knights of Ren themselves—could those be the opponents she’s running to meet here? Here’s a really good look at the full extent of the scar Rey gave Kylo Ren during their Force Awakens duel. You’ll note, as we previously reported, Kylo’s scar has moved a couple inches to the side compared to where Rey actually slashed him—a continuity- bending choice by Rian Johnson because he thought the first scar placement looked goofy. Luke stands tall on Ahch- To, but he’s had a change of clothes from his white robes. We got a brief glimpse of this look at Star Wars Celebration a few months ago, but this our best full look at it. This shot was heavily obscured in the initial trailer, but if you didn’t notice, here’s confirmation that Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie) and a bunch of Stormtroopers are responsible for that massive explosion aboard the Resistance ship Poe is on. Note the unfortunate tattered ruins of Black Leader’s X- Wing in the foreground. Speaking of Black Leader, here’s Poe sliding into a trench on what appears to be Crait—could this be earlier in the same sequence we saw at the very start of the reel? Rose, with a different hairstyle, sits on the landing bay of the Millennium Falcon. You can just make out that she’s been crying, so something pretty bad’s probably happened.. But first, a very quick look at another mysterious new addition to the Star Wars galaxy, played by Benicio Del Toro. We know nothing about this character other than the fact that he was referred to on set as “DJ”. You can just about glimpse BB- 8 in this shot too. A Resistance Gunner takes her place in the nose turret of one of the bombers we saw in the space battle of the first trailer—but not just any gunner. Rian Johnson has confirmed that this is, in fact, Paige Tico (Veronica Ngo), Rose’s sister. Beloved family member in a precarious combat position? Well, maybe something happens to her and that’s why Rose looked so upset. Adam Driver gets some saber practice in, but look at the weapons of his foes—they’re not lightsabers, but long staves, indicating that this might not be a fight between him, Rey and Luke. Training with his fellow knights of Ren perhaps? A very fancy, almost Batmobile- esque speeder is brought to a stop by the crew. Looks like this is more stuff from Canto Bight. And now it’s Daisy Ridley’s turn for some training—against three opponents, making this at least seem like it’s practice for that rumored skirmish between her and the Knights of Ren on Ahch- To. Design Within Reach | Search. Giorgio Soressi recalls drawing at an early age in his family’s home in Cremona, in northern Italy. I was, I think, 3 years old. Very, very little,” Soressi says. I began to draw on the floor with white gesso. You know white gesso? And now I paint, also, all over the walls in my studio. I write, I paint, I design on the wall. I like, a lot, going on the wall. Also the floor.” Not much has changed. These days, whenever he’s not traveling, Soressi rides his bicycle a mile to his studio in Treviso, just north of Venice, where he not only draws and paints on as many surfaces as he can find but also designs furniture and, most of all, plays guitar. I love, absolutely, music,” he says. Every moment of my life is music. Everything I see and I think, I report everything in the music. The stars in the sky go around in a melody, the river – everything is music. The color is vibration, is music. When we meet people, we make music.” His father was a concert violinist, and there was always music in the house. At 1. 3, Soressi picked up the guitar, and by the time he was 1. Eventually, the requirements of domestic life came calling. At a certain point, there is the wife, there is a little girl,” he says. I decided to stop going around to play. And so I take my first talent, to design, and I begin to design. I don’t have school. I don’t have any of this. I work.” Soressi became a prolific designer, working mostly for Italian clients. The work, besides furniture, covers a diverse range, including lighting, rugs, ceramics and glassware (a particular favorite of his). When I make a thing, all the experience, all my years, all the people I have met, all my music go inside it. If you make a thing without soul, it is nothing. I think everything we make also, if you don’t put something of yourself into it, this thing is nothing.” His style leans heavily to the modern but is not bound by it. To be modern but also with respect for the older, the past,” he says. This is more or less what I think when I do something. I don’t change the world with a sofa. I go into the world. Why go into the world with stupidity, arrogance, violence? It is better to go into the world with simplicity.” An intensely private man, Soressi cannot be found on social media, nor does he have a website. I stay in my studio to paint, to design, to think, to play. This is my life. It’s nothing particular, but I like this.”.
