Marcia Lucas, who won an Oscar for editing “Star Wars,” directed by her former husband George Lucas, has died from cancer. She was 80.
“Marcia will be remembered as a brilliant storyteller, a trailblazer for women in film, a loving mother and grandmother, a generous host, and a loyal friend whose humor and sparkle filled every room she entered. Her influence on film is indelible, but those who knew her best will remember the way she made life feel more vivid, more beautiful, more fun, and more full of love,” the family statement said.

Oz Pearlman claims he can pry secrets from your mind using psychological cues. He can’t—but after Trump's assassination attempt, he is the target of a conspiracy theory that believes his "powers" are real and helped stage the attack. Who's responsible? https://t.co/NlrJVsRskW
The Onion says it has — after 17 months of legal wrangling — successfully landed a deal to take over Infowars, the right-wing conspiracy-fueled site run by Alex Jones.
In November 2024, the Onion revealed its winning bid for Infowars, which was sued into bankruptcy (as was Jones) after the families of victims in the Sandy Hook mass shooting won a defamation suit judgment in 2022 against Jones, who had repeatedly lied and posited baseless conspiracy theories about the massacre. The Onion’s parent company, Global Tetrahedron, will pay $81,000 a month to license the https://t.co/oF5VJBLY58 domain name and associated intellectual property. The deal runs for six months, with an option to renew for another six months.
