Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin When Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader meet in A New Hope , the resulting battle was the first time the Star Wars creative team had ever depicted a lightsaber duel. The duel is notably restrained, less fluid and flashy than later lightsaber battles in the franchise. As a result, some fans view it as a weak point of the film, expressing frustration with the technical limitations that hamper the fight between two fan-favorites - a much more heightened remake of the scene exists online , a glossy piece of fan fiction. However, the New Hope duel is not nearly as underwhelming as some make it out to be; it’s as much about the conversation as it is the lightsabers.

In just a week, his latest bravura outing Top Gun: Maverick earned a slamming US$320 million worldwide (more recent data put the film's earnings close to $400 million now). This makes it, a sequel to the 1986 blockbuster that first elevated the actor to stardom, the biggest earner of Cruise’s career. This is no small feat, considering Cruise’s long, hyper-successful run in Hollywood – with no end in sight. More so as under the shadow of the pandemic, both audiences and creators had been side-stepping the big screen experience to meet again on the streaming platform.
