IF YOU HAVEN’TwatchedThe Mandalorianyet, then why not? Even if
you’re not a fan of all thingsStar Wars, this action-packed space Western is
must-watch TV. It’s no surprise to learn that a second season has been
commissioned. That’s why it was an easy decision to dedicate our cover and
a massive feature to Jon Favreau’s brilliant show. Learn everything you ever
wanted to know about Disney+’s flagship series, including the truth behind
break-out star Baby Yoda!
But that’s not all. Following the conclusion of the Skywalker saga, many
Star Warsfans are wondering, “Where to now for George Lucas’s creation?”
In a special feature, Ian Freer looks into his teacup and makes some bold
predictions.
Elsewhere, we praise Blofeld, the seemingly unkillable, cat-patting bald
bastard who has, more than any other villain, given James Bond the most
grief going back to the ’60s. There are exclusive celebrity interviews with
Wonder Woman 1984director Patty Jenkins and directorial newcomer
Emerald Fennell. We also sit down to chat with Nicolas Cage, which
is a bigger trip than any HP Lovecraft story could ever dream of being.
Before I reread our blood-soaked tribute to ’80s horror classicThe Lost
Boys,I’ll give a plug to our Facebook page (facebook.com/EmpireAust),
which has exclusive content that we couldn’t squeeze into the magazine.
With that said, let’s get started.


CLASSIC LINES OF THE MONTH


“I know his real
name, but it’ll be
interesting to see
how his actual name
is adopted, ’cos
I think he’ll always
be Baby Yoda.”
p.

“I always
ask
myself,
‘What
would
Prince
do?’”
p.

“I’m not interested
in being in fashion or
being cool ’cos history
does not make me
believe that that has
a very profound
effect on anything.”
p.
