Twitter’s pushing back the launch of its new Blue subscription with verification until after this week’s midterm elections, according to a report from The New York Times. According to an internal memo viewed by the outlet, a manager working on the project said they’ve “made the decision to move the launch of this release to Nov. 9, after the election.”

Elon Musk, Twitter’s new owner, announced the new $7.99 per month Twitter Blue earlier this month with perks like fewer ads, search priority, the ability to post longer videos, and the ability to pay your way to verification. Under Musk’s new rules, anyone can get a verified checkmark if they pay for Blue, sparking concern over whether users will be able to tell real accounts from fake ones.

These concerns have only grown ahead of the midterm elections, as verified users posing as politicians and news outlets have the potential to cause confusion. Before Musk’s takeover, verified checkmarks were assigned by Twitter to notable figures who could prove their account belongs to them, with the intent of fighting attempts at impersonation. The platform also had specific rules barring users with parody or unofficial fan accounts from obtaining the badge. It’s not clear how Musk plans on addressing users impersonating others on the platform, but an “Official account” label for notable users, as spotted by app researcher Nima Owji could be a part of that plan, while subscribers’ checkmarks would have a small popup noting the source of their status.

You can add another name to your list of filmmakers trying to develop the next Star Wars movie: Damon Lindelof. Deadline reports that Lindelof, who rose to prominence as the co-creator of Lost and more recently won multiple Emmys for his work on HBO’s TV adaptation of Watchmen, is developing and co-writing the film, although it’s unclear who his writing partner could be. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, who worked on several episodes of Ms. Marvelis reportedly in talks to direct.

At one point, Disney wanted to release a new Star Wars film every year

This is all a far cry from Disney’s original plans for the Star Wars franchise. At one point in 2015 the studio had plans to release a new Star Wars movie every year, interspersing its new trilogy of films with standalone releases. But, more recently, the studio’s focus has shifted towards the smaller screen with Disney Plus shows including Andor and The Mandalorian.

At this point it’s unclear when Lindelof’s Star Wars film could be set in the franchise’s timeline, who could star, or when the film might be released. But, for what it’s worth, Deadline reports that the project “seems to have the most momentum out of all all the films currently in development at the studio.” With any luck, it could be the one to bring an end to Star Wars‘ cinematic purgatory.

‘Andor’ Mastermind Says the Star Wars Show Will Reveal Luthen Rael’s Past

Episode 10 of Andor brought the Star Wars series’ intense prison arc to a close on Disney Plus this Wednesday, revealing new depths to the Empire’s totalitarian cruelty. It forced future rebel hero Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) to forge new alliances and rally his fellow inmates as he hatched his escape plan.

Beyond those walls, the regime is also tightening its grip on the galaxy in an attempt to choke all hope of rebellion. Ambitious Imperial Dedra Meero (Denise Gough) is happy to enforce its rules, but rebels like Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly) and Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgard) are working to bring the Empire crashing down.

So there’s plenty of exciting intrigue and espionage happening, and that’s exactly what you’d expect from creator and showrunner Tony Gilroy. He wrote the first four Bourne movies but is perhaps best known for writing and directing Michael Clayton. The intense 2007 legal thriller was nominated for seven Oscars, with Tilda Swinton taking home the award for best supporting actress.

He also co-wrote Rogue One, the 2016 Star Wars spinoff that introduced the morally questionable Cassian to a galaxy far, far away. Andor, which is near the end of its 12-episode first season and will return for a second season leading directly into Rogue One, dives into his past and the early days of the Rebel Alliance.
