Lucas to make more Star Wars?

Good news for all the Star War fans as it seems George Lucas is open to the possibility of shooting the sequels of this sci-fi saga after all. I just hope he doens’t ruin it by coming up with a new Jar Jar Binks

Copycats

A team of scientists cloned a cat only to find the clone wasn’t
