Besides Birds of Prey, Doctor Sleep comes out in October. That is the sequel to The Shining based on the book by Stephen King. Ewan played grown up Danny Torrance.

I'm probably the only weirdo that has never seen The Shining

Well, you won't need to for Doctor Sleep. King hates what Kubrick did to his book. Doctor Sleep will be following the book, so it is not a sequel to the movie.

Regardless of how poor an adaptation The Shining is, you should see it because it is a good movie on its own.

Ewan McGregor: “The Star Wars Prequels meant a lot to the generation that were kids then”

From Vanity Fair: “Sometimes, all it takes is a single scene to change moviemaking for good. (“Rosebud . . .” comes to mind.) And while many of the last quarter-century’s films have awed, inspired, and offered up iconic entries into the cultural canon, only some—and particularly, only a few individual moments—have genuinely influenced how future films were made. So, what makes that list? To mark the 25th edition of the Hollywood Issue, Vanity Fair’s film critics pinpointed 25 film scenes since 1995 that changed the industry, the art form, and even the culture, and our reporters spoke to the performers and filmmakers who made them happen. […] “THE CHOSEN ONE” Star Wars: Episode III—Revenge of the Sith (2005) […] Ewan McGregor, “Obi-Wan Kenobi” “Episode III was all green screen: they had us on green disks on a green floor with a green background, and a guy on the floor rotating us like chickens, as we lunged at each other with lightsabers. What keeps you emotionally grounded is the other actor. Episode II, I was on my own, speaking to thin air. But this scene was harrowing for Obi-Wan. I lose Anakin, and we see the danger of what it might lead to in Episodes IV, V, and VI. For all my moaning about green screen, I did enjoy playing Obi-Wan and this link to Alec Guinness. George Lucas wanted to do something very different with the prequels. That’s why people felt cheated. It was upsetting when people would laugh and joke about it. Now, many years later, the prequels meant a lot to the generation that were kids then. So from smirking, cynical opinions, now I’m getting feedback from the kids they were made for. I’m really happy about that.” —As told to Joanna Robinson”

I'm sure but ROTS was aimed at children and that's the generation that thanks him now? SW was never for kids. They made toys for kids but if you actually watch it and pay attention it's a very adult story, and if the prequels tried to accomplish otherwise with all the GCI and toys and lightsaber fighting, they failed at the essence of the story which is Anakin becoming a murderous monster and starting the fall of everything good in the galaxy...he literally murders little kids They lost me on that article, sorry.

Interesting comment about green

Agreed that the first two could be said to have been targeted to kids but not RoTS
