Things We Saw Today: David Beckham and John Boyega Play-Fight With Lightsabers

David Beckham and John Boyega fought with lightsabers on The Graham Norton Show, and Boyega got really into character in the best way.

• NASA has a pretty sweet (and punny) post about the connections between them and Star Wars from influences, droids that look like Boba Fett, and bit on how you can become a “sky walker.”
• If you’re making some paper snowflakes, Comic Book Resources has some superhero templates you can print! I’m especially fond of the Punisher-flake.

And just to double-up on Graham Norton clips (they’re so GOOD), here’s the cast discussing how they stayed secretive (or not) about their roles, with Carrie Fisher cuddling her dog Gary on the couch.

• A new TV adaptation of H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds is on its way with Doctor Who’s Peter Harness as writer. (via io9)
• Lionsgate is bumping Power Rangers‘ release date to March, which in turn bumps Divergent to summer 2017. (via Slash Film)
