Let’s not pretend that most people in the world aren’t talking about the new Star Wars trailer.  Because they are.  Many are saying the opening shot of the wrecked star destroyer is better than parts four, five, and six.  But it’s Harrison Ford returning as Han Solo saying it best:  “Chewie, we're home.”  It’s the seventh in the franchise, but the first not to be directed by George Lucas – J.J. Abrams takes the helm this time.  “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is expected in theaters in December.

Wikileaks has posted the full Sony documents, which were hacked out of the motion picture studio’s servers last year.  The leaked papers caused a stir in Hollywood and beyond, because they included stars’ personal information and salaries, as well as leaked scripts and movie proposals, and emails detailing the backbiting and gossip that rules tinseltown.  Sony called the original hack “a malicious criminal act”, and released a statement condemning Wikileaks for making “stolen employee and other private and privileged information” easily searchable at its website.

A pro-Russian journalist has been shot to death in broad daylight in Kiev, a day after a pro-Russian lawmaker and ally to former President Viktor Yanukovych was killed similarly.  45-year old Oles Buzyna wrote for a Moscow-leaning newspaper until last month.  Earlier, lawmakers Oleh Kalashnikov was found shot to death outside of his home in Kiev.  “How many more victims will it take for the world to realize that in Ukraine there are deliberate political killings time after time,” said Russian politician Konstantin Kosachev.

Colombia rescinded the suspension of its bombing campaign against Marxist FARC rebels.  This comes after the militants killed ten soldiers in a clash in the western province of Cauca.  The civil war has been going on for five decades, but the two sides have been holding peace talks in Havana, Cuba since 2012.  It’s not clear how the renewed fighting will affect the peace process.
