Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s Cameron Monaghan Wants to Play Cal Kestis in a live-action Movie or Series. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is set to release early next year on March 17, 2023. It was recently announced during the 2022 Gamers Awards, and now Voice-Actor and Star of the game Cameron Monaghan talks about possible Live-Action telling.
Monaghan who has starred in Shameless the Showtime hit series, and also Gotham which aired on FOX network, talked to EW when asked if you ever got the chance to play Cal in live action, what would mean to you?
The actor responded with “I love this character. They’re starting to explore him through other mediums — we have a novel coming up. It’s been really amazing doing it within the video game space because I think games are vastly under-explored and underutilized and are only really getting their due at this moment — people are looking at games and seeing they’re incredible and moving and significant.”
He continued “So my priority right now is to make sure we have a satisfying arc within the games. What happens or where Star Wars wants to go from there is anybody’s guess, but I can say I love Cal and it’s been a joy finding him over the past few years. So we’ll see.”
Donald Glover to Star and Produce Spider-Man Movie Based on Villain Hypno-Hustler
Far Out… Star Wars Star Donald Glover is finally getting his own Spider-Man movie. The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Glover will be starring in and producing a film centered around Hypno-Hustler, a relatively-obscure Spider-Man villain from the 1970s.
Myles Murphy, the son of actor and comedian Eddie Murphy, is on board to write the project.
This is not the first time Donald Glover has been in a Spider-Man Movie. The Star Wars Solo star turns up in Spider-Man: Homecoming as Aaron Davis, a Queens man involved in a high-tech weapons deal with henchmen of Michael Keaton’s supervillain, Vulture. Later he shares another scene, giving advice and intel to Tom Holland when Donald gets stuck for helping out Spider-Man and making bad choices.
The film, which will be part of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, does not currently have a title or a release date yet.
Another Fake Disney Park Policy Update Circulating the Internet
It is not even the end of 2022 and this is the 2nd FAKE Disney Park Policy Update we have seen circulating the internet this month. Back on December 1st, we saw a FAKE Disney World and Disneyland Theme Park Reservations Policy Update being shared around the net. (Click the link and check it out)
Today we are seeing this image being passed around.
Earlier today Disney World Updated its Park Rules website to include New Guest Courtesy and Attire Policies. We think some people on the internet were not happy with the update and decided to take things a step further.
Typically if Disney is going to make a BIG Park Update like this they are going to share it throughout their social media channels like on Twitter, Disney Parks Blog Facebook Page, and More.
As you can see on Disney Parks Twitter there is no mention of this new Park Policy Update.
So if you see the image above being shared around be sure to let your friends know it is fake.

Star Wars Skeleton Crew Suffering from Filming Setbacks
Rumors are swirling that the latest Star Wars production has hit a snag during principal photography, and is experiencing problems with crew turnover and several other “logistical problems”. Making Star Wars has cited that several crew members “felt underappreciated, disposable and disrespected.”
Sources close to the production have stated while there has been turnover and tumult during principal photography, the product hasn’t suffered despite production setbacks. Skeleton Crew is one of a few active Star Wars projects currently in the pipeline for Lucasfilm. Skeleton Crew, Ashoka, and The Acolyte are currently in active production; slated for release on Disney+ in the near future.
Skeleton Crew is created by Jon Watts and Christopher Ford and set in the same time period as the Mandalorian and Ashoka Series. Featuring Jude Law, the series will cultivate a “Goonies Style” adventure for a galaxy far far away. This is not the first time that a Star Wars production has hit a snag. The Rise of Skywalker, Solo: A Star Wars Story, and Rogue One all had notable changes and production upheaval during the creative process, so news of this type is not unique or even troubling at this point.
New Guest Courtesy and Attire Policies added to the Disney World Website
The Disney World Website has just updated the Walt Disney World Resort Property Rules page to now include the new Guest Courtesy and Attire Policies due to the number of recent fights and inappropriate outfits being worn at the Florida theme park.
Here is the new information from the New Guest Courtesy and Attire Policies section:
Proper attire, including shoes and shirts, must be worn at all times. Clothing that drags on the ground is prohibited in theme parks and water parks. Clothing with multiple layers is subject to search. We reserve the right to deny admission to or remove any person wearing attire that we consider inappropriate or attire that could detract from the experience of other Guests. Visible tattoos that could be considered inappropriate, such as those containing objectionable language or designs, are not permitted. There are specific costume guidelines for special events such as Halloween parties, runDisney events and while at Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser; please refer to the additional policies applicable to those events.
Costumes may not be worn in our theme parks, water parks or ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex by Guests ages 14 or older.
Masks may not be worn by any Guests ages 14 or older (unless required for medical purposes). When worn by younger Guests, masks may not cover the entire face and must provide unobstructed peripheral vision at all times with openings that allow the eyes to be fully seen.
Please show common courtesy to fellow Guests and our Cast Members by not using profanity or engaging in unsafe, illegal, disruptive or offensive behavior, jumping lines or saving places in lines for others. For your safety and the safety of others, please refrain from running except in designated areas.
Access to attractions depends on the safety rules for each attraction.
Guests using the pools, spas, fitness centers or other Disney Resort hotel facilities must also adhere to the rules posted and applicable at those facilities.
Quiet hours at the Disney Resort hotels and Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser are from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM.
Guests must vacate their Disney Resort hotel rooms and Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser accommodations at the end of their stay, on the date and time set forth in their reservation confirmation.
The biggest takeaway is the Please show common courtesy to fellow Guests and our Cast Members by not using profanity or engaging in unsafe, illegal, disruptive or offensive behavior, jumping lines or saving places in lines for others. For your safety and the safety of others, please refrain from running except in designated areas.
In 2022 we have written about so many fights at the Disney World Theme Parks and it really just boils down to being respectful to each other and the Disney Cast Members working there. We all want to have a good time at the Theme Parks and I know sometimes it can be a little stressful but just be courteous to each other and think about the kids when you are thinking about wearing that inappropriate outfit into the parks.
What do you think about the New Guest Courtesy and Attire Policies added to the Disney World Website?
Long Tags Removed from New Minnie Ears at Disney World
Picture it Disney World 2022. You just bought a brand-new pair of Minnie Ears that you have been wanting for some time however before you can put the dashing new ears on there is a CVS Receipt Length tag sticking out of the side.
You politely ask the Cast Member if they have a pair of scissors so you can cut off the tag that has washing and drying instructions, the recipe for Remy’s Soup, the lyrics for Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, and is written in about 20 different languages. Did I paint a vivid enough picture in your mind?
We are kidding… Take a look for yourself if you don’t believe me.
Now that I had a little fun, we have some good news to share. In the recent shipment of Disney Products, we noticed that the long tags removed on the new Disney100 Minnie Ears are now much smaller.
As you can see the product tag on the Disney100 Minnie Ears are not as long as the River Nile anymore! We are unsure if this is something they are going to stick with going forward (I hope) or just something special they did for the Disney100 Ears.
Whatever the case may be we appreciate the change and really hope going forward it stays this way. Greg even confirmed that the tags ripped off pretty easily too without the need for scissors.
I get what Disney is trying to do with the tags but at least make them smaller and easy to remove, cause honestly who is going to walk around the parks with huge tags sticking out of their Minnie Ears???
Are you glad to see the Long Tags Removed from the newest pair of Minnie Ears? Should it be this way on all new Ears going forward?

New Signs in EPCOT Suggest the Return of Parking Lot Trams. Tram transportation returned months ago to Disney’s Magic Kingdom parking lot, more recently to Animal Kingdom, and unfortunately, we have not heard anything about the return to Hollywood Studios or Epcot.
There is slight hope though. Over at the main entrance to Epcot, Disney has installed to backlit signs with directions to the different parking lots and the Trams that will take you back to those lots.
Could we see the actual Trams return to Epcot shortly? We have not seen any testing recently, but that does not mean it could not be imminently returning.
Guests pay one fee for a parking pass that is good all day at all 4 theme parks—Magic Kingdom park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park. Our special preferred parking lots are located conveniently close to the theme park entrances. All parking fees include applicable sales tax.
Preferred parking: car or motorcycle – $45 to $50 per day*
Standard parking: car or motorcycle – $25 per day
Oversized Vehicle Parking: Shuttle, Limo, Camper Trailer, RV, Bus, or Tractor Trailer – $30 per day
Standard theme park parking is included for registered Guests of Disney Resort hotels and select Annual Passholders. These Guests can also choose to enjoy preferred parking by paying the difference in cost between their included standard parking and preferred parking (the difference is currently $20 to $25 per day*).
*Pricing is seasonal and will vary based on the date of the visit.
