Rian Johnson looks back on The Last Jedi and ahead to his new trilogy…
“I’m just starting to figure out what it’s going to be,” says Rian Johnson on the news that he will be working on a brand-new trilogy of Star Wars movies, totally separate from the main films, that will introduce new characters.

Sensi Touch Smart Thermostat ST75: Versatile and Affordable
Smart thermostats make it easy to control your home’s heating and cooling system from just about anywhere, and the Sensi Touch Smart Thermostat ST75 is no different. But in addition to phone and voice control, it offers a responsive color touch-screen control panel. Easy on the eyes and simple to install, the ST75 is a bit more expensive than our Editors’ Choice winner for affordable thermostats, the Nest Thermostat ($129.99).
