Star Wars Just Retconned How Palpatine’s Sith Plan Leaked to the Jedi Order

The comic reveals a surprising detail: someone knew about Palpatine’s (Ian McDiarmid) scheme to seize power. Jedi Knight Kelleran Beq (played by Ahmed Best in The Mandalorian) discovered the Chancellor’s plan and subtly warned Jar Jar Binks (also played by Best in the prequel films).

‘Peaky Blinders’ Sequel Series to Feature Barry Keoghan’s Duke Shelby

As a big fan of Peaky Blinders, I was really drawn to the dynamic between Cillian Murphy’s character and Barry Keoghan, who played Tommy’s son, Duke. A lot of the film felt like Tommy grappling with his life and what was coming, while Duke really stepped up and prepared to take over the Peaky Blinders after his father was gone. Now that the movie’s out and we know how things ended for Tommy, it’s pretty clear where the show is going next. We already knew a sequel was happening, but the latest news confirms that Barry Keoghan will be back as Duke, which is fantastic – he’s definitely the natural choice to lead the Peaky Blinders into the future.
