Star Wars toy collectors have been keeping a close eye on a special crowdfunding project over the past few weeks. It’s by none other than Hasbro and it’s for a giant (two feet long and over a foot high and wide) replica of Jabba the Hutt’s sail barge from Return of the Jedi.

John Krasinski thinks The Office should come back for a Christmas special
NBC has made it clear over the last few months that it would really like to bring back more of its older hit shows, with The Office in particular supposedly being penciled in for a possible revival during the 2018-2019 TV season. NBC hasn’t confirmed that, but if NBC really is serious about resurrecting The Office, John Krasinski has some ideas. As reported by IndieWire, he says he’d “totally do it” if NBC wanted him to come back, but since The Office’s original run had a real series finale that everybody seems happy with, he doesn’t want to mess that up.

R Kelly accused of grooming 14-year-old girl as sex 'pet'
The R&B singer R Kelly has been accused of training a girl as a sex slave since she was 14 years old. The allegation – the latest in a string of allegations of the sexual abuse of young women by Kelly – was made, referring to another woman, by former girlfriend Kitti Jones, in a BBC3 documentary to be aired on 28 March. During two years of dating Kelly from 2011 onwards, Jones, 34, says she was groomed by him, and forced to have sex with him and others at least 10 times in a “sex dungeon”.

DMX's Lawyers Are Going to Play His Songs in Court to Sway Judge During Sentencing
DMX currently awaits sentencing after pleading guilty to tax fraud for avoiding $1.7 million in taxes over the course of five years. "I failed to file taxes," he told U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in December. "I'm responsible, even placing other people in charge of it." The rapper's prosecutors are seeking a five-year prison sentence and urged Rakoff to "send the message to this defendant and others that star power does not entitle someone to a free pass."

Netflix banned from competing at Cannes Film Festival
Netflix has been banned from competing in the Cannes Film Festival, according to a report from The Hollywood Reporter. Theirry Fremaux, the head of Cannes, told THR last week the ban is because Netflix refuses to release its films in theaters, choosing instead to debut them on its streaming service and, in some rare cases, do day-and-date releases so the film can be seen both online and off.

Nightdive talks System Shock remake's change in direction, expects release 'probably Q1 of 2020'
System Shock is still coming. In February, we reported that Nightdive Studios' remake of System Shock was on hiatus as the developers reassessed the project, deciding it had diverged too far from the original vision: a direct modernization of the 1994 game. At GDC on Thursday, I met with Nightdive CEO Stephen Kick and business development director Larry Kuperman, who spoke candidly about where the project went wrong and where it stands now.

Steve Shelley Selling Guitar Pedals From Sonic Youth’s Studio
Sonic Youth still ain't getting back together anytime soon, folks. The band broke up, along with Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore's marriage, way back in 2011, and they have now reached the "ex-members selling off old gear" stage of nonexistence. The silver lining, though, is that if you're the type who enjoys owning lots of guitar effects pedals, than Sonic Youth guitar effects pedals, probably some kind of collector holy grain, are now fully obtainable. As Sonic Youth's apparently-still-functioning Twitter points out, ex-drummer Steve Shelley — who has performed, in recent years, with his former bandmates Moore and Lee Ranaldo — is now...
