As previously reported, a deleted LinkedIn account for Trịnh Thu Trang claimed that she was the bookmaker’s CEO.

Figurines of some of the characters from the Disney+ Star Wars Visions series up for preorder

The Ronin from "The Duel" and "The Twins" figurines by Banpresto up for preorder (the twins look great, but the episode is otherwise pretty forgettable in light of how much fun Promare is; my favorite overall episode was "The Ninth Jedi").
