Sure, 2027 is the 50th anniversary of the franchise, and there are a lot of cool things planned, but the franchise hasn’t been itself in a long time. Star Wars:…

While the two have gone back and forth online plenty of times before, this latest spat was prompted by news that Apple is suing OpenAI. “Scam Altman strikes again,” Musk wrote Saturday morning in response to a…
