When it comes to big life problems, we often stand at a crossroads: either believe we’re powerless against great change, or we rise to meet the challenge. In an urgent call to action, political strategist Tom Rivett-Carnac makes the case for adopting a mindset of “stubborn optimism” to confront climate change — or whatever crisis may come our way — and sustain the action needed to build a regenerative future. As he puts it: “Stubborn optimism can fill our lives with meaning and purpose.”

The best thief in the Outlands, Loba uses her Jump Drive bracelet to teleport where she wants and take what she pleases.

When she was nine years old, Loba Andrade witnessed her parents’ murders at the hands of the simulacrum Revenant. Left to her own devices, Loba used her natural knack for thievery to claw her way into a high society life. With Revenant’s reemergence at the Apex Games, she’s determined to use her unique skills to claim her revenge. And whatever loot she can get her hands on.

Loba has a keen eye for valuables — so keen she can see top-tier loot through walls. She uses her Jump Drive bracelet to teleport out of dangerous situations or enter lucrative ones. And she can even pull valuable loot to her Black Market Boutique, allowing her squad to load up on all the best gear.

Good news for Star Wars fans! Temura Morrsion has reportedly been cast as Boba Fett in The Mandalorian Season 2 on Disney Plus.

The size of the role is still unknown, but the galaxy’s most infamous bounty hunter hasn’t been seen since he fell into the Sarlacc pit when Jabba the Hutt tried to execute Luke Skywalker and Han Solo at the beginning of Return of the Jedi. However, Chuck Wendig’s Star Wars Aftermath novel, highlights a Star Wars theory that Boba Fett actually survived. That book barely scratches the surface of the Start Wars lore – both Legends (old Expanded Universe) and canon – surrounding Boba Fett. History has taught us that no character is truly dead if Disney really wants to bring them back. Let’s hope Dave Filoni has some interesting ideas to have Din Djarin (played by Pedro Pascal) meet the bounty hunter in Mandalorian Season 2. Boba Fett will have a lot of explaining to do if he does show up, that’s for sure.

There is one main reason why Boba Fett can only be played by Temuera Morrsion. Boba Fett was revealed to be a clone in Attack of the Clones since he was given to Jango Fett as payment for being the model for all the Republic’s clone troopers used during the Clone Wars.

Either way, this is an interesting development for Disney. Star Wars would be a much richer place with now-alive Boba Fett. The real question is: Will Boba Fett be featured in the Mandalorian Season 2 trailer?
