Ryan Reynolds has pitched an ‘R-rated' Star Wars. What would that look like?
Take all the essential ingredients of Star Wars – samurais in space, adventure among the wookiees, aliens with backward syntax, evil cyborgs with a penchant for murder by telekinesis – then imagine George Lucas hadn't given us all of that through a PG prism. This, it appears, is what Ryan Reynolds did when pitching to Disney. 'I said, 'Why don't we do an R-rated Star Wars property?'' Reynolds told The Box Office podcast. ''It doesn't have to be overt, A+ characters. There's a wide range of characters you could use.' And I don't mean R-rated to be vulgar. R-rated as a Trojan horse for emotion. I always wonder why studios don't want to just gamble on something like that.' Let's imagine the scene: a gaggle of studio execs are nervously cowering before the Hollywood A-lister's megawatt smirk as he reveals his idea for a take on George Lucas's space opera that doesn't hold back. This is Star Wars Tarantino-style. Perhaps Mando's got a drug problem, or Chewie really does rip people's arms off – and beat them to death with the wet ends. Somewhere over in Coruscant a Jedi slices a corrupt senator into symmetrical chunks without ever unsheathing his saber. Or maybe Reynolds just thinks the galaxy far, far away could use a little more Deadpool & Wolverine-style sweary irreverence. He's wrong. Push Star Wars too far into the realm of self-aware snark, or nudge it to start laughing at itself before the audience does, and you undercut the very thing that keeps fans tethered to its dusty, big-hearted mythos. We already have umpteen animated takedowns – Robot Chicken's fever-dream dismemberments, Family Guy's fart-laced remakes – and they're fine, in their way. But if Star Wars ever starts mimicking the shows that exist solely to mock it, then the circle will be complete. Having said that, it's impossible to dismiss completely the idea of a darker, more adult take, because all the essential ingredients are already in place. There are very few kids' movies in which a father cuts off his own child's limbs, or a giant slug-monster chains a bikini-clad hostage to its throne. There are not many movies fit for a Saturday matinee that feature swamp goblins gaslighting traumatised orphans. From despair-fuelled redemption arcs to slow-burn patricide, Star Wars already has everything it needs to drop the family-friendly facade and lean fully into its dark side. Andor, and to a lesser extent Rogue One, have already shown that it's possible to dispense with the fairytale veneer. Perhaps what Reynolds is saying is that if superhero movies can prosper by dismantling their own mythology in a blaze of sweary sarcasm, why shouldn't space-opera flicks find similar salvation in a galaxy where blood spurts with wild abandon like the Kurosawan epics that Lucas borrowed so much from in the first place. Perhaps it's a terrible idea and would ruin everything that feels sacred about Star Wars. But just for a moment imagine it: a galaxy not full of hope but hangovers. Where Force ghosts don't offer guidance, they just hover awkwardly, muttering regrets. Where Chewbacca's fur is matted with something unspeakable and the lightsabers don't hum, they scream.

Coronation Street couple set to split on tonight's episode
Tonight's Coronation Street episode may not have aired just yet, but it is currently available on ITVX, and it looks like a beloved couple is set to split. Tensions have been high between Eileen Grimshaw and George Shuttleworth for several months, with things only getting worse after the death of Julie Carp. On the day of Julie's death, George, played by Tony Maudsley, found a video she recorded for Eileen, played by Sue Cleaver, encouraging her to break up with him. George has since been trying his best to improve things with Eileen, though his efforts have proved too overbearing. CORONATION STREET I LOVE YOU, THANK YOU. 🧡 In tonight's episode, his efforts set their relationship back even further. At Julie's wake, George saw an opportunity during her dream game to ask Eileen to marry him, much to her shock, according to the Metro. There was an awkward moment of silence before their attention was drawn to Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas), who had made a surprise return to the UK after being dumped by his girlfriend. After greeting him, George pointed out to Eileen that he was still waiting for an answer to his question. Recommended reading: However, he was left crushed when she admitted that she thought he had been joking. Later, when everything became too much for Eileen, she headed home, where George soon found her. He explained that he just wanted to give her a wedding to look forward to amid her grief, but that he understood his timing had been bad. As he promised to leave the subject alone for now and ask her again later down the line, Eileen admitted that it wasn't the timing that was the problem, but the fact that she didn't want to marry him. She insisted that he was a great guy and she didn't want to hurt him, and that she was sorry she didn't feel the same.
