Joel Edgerton Had To Beg To Get Uncle Owen A Fight Scene On Obi-Wan Kenobi Series
Joel Edgerton’s career has come a long way since he first showed up as Uncle Owen for a couple scenes in the Star Wars prequels. He went from making indie thrillers (very good ones) with his brother Nash in Australia to being an actual movie star in Hollywood. And he apparently used some of that clout to very slightly expand Uncle Owen’s role in last year’s Obi-Wan Kenobi series: by getting him a bit of a fight scene with Moses Ingram’s Inquisitor Reva.
While the character didn’t get a ton of screen time back in the day in the original film when he was played by Phil Brown, it was impossible to forget Uncle Owen–he was one of the first Star Wars characters we ever met, and he and Aunt Beru were the characters who had to die so Luke Skywalker would have a reason not just to leave home but to fight against the Empire.
On the Obi-Wan Kenobi limited series, we got to spend more time with Uncle Owen than ever before, during his appearances in the premiere episode and the finale. During both episodes, Owen has to face down Inquisitor Reva–first in Mos Eisley, in public, and then in the finale when Reva is attempting to murder Luke Skywalker at the Lars homestead. And it sounds like Owen put up more of a fight than the show’s producers and writers had originally planned.

“I had to create my own hope” – the story of Black Girl Gamers
Being a Black female gamer is no cakewalk. In a realm that, in many spheres, is hyper sensitive towards white women, never mind women of colour, forging your own path can seem destined for failure. Having just completed her work on Forspoken, Square Enix’s recent RPG game, PCGamesN caught up with Black Girl Gamers CEO and founder Jay-Ann Lopez to talk about her journey.

I’m 52 and thought I was too old for zits – but squeezing it led to the discovery I had cancer
A woman who thought she just had a pimple on her nose has been diagnosed with skin cancer.
Michelle Davis, 52, spotted the red bump in April 2022 and thought it was just a spot until it became “really sore,” she said.

But after she went to a doctor to have it addressed, Davis was told the bump was skin cancer and that she would have to undergo surgery[/caption]
The pimple would flare up and down, she said, but Davis went to see a doctor after she squeezed it and it wouldn’t stop bleeding.
The doctor immediately thought it was cancer.
Following a biopsy, Davis was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma – a common form of skin cancer.
She underwent surgery to cut the cancer out and had the skin of her nose stretched to cover the remaining hole.
Now, Davis is recovering from the surgery and won’t need further treatment.
The account manager, from Orewa, New Zealand, said: “I thought ‘what am I doing getting a pimple at 52’.
“It will go away – I kept telling myself.
“It would flare up and go back down.
“I remember squeezing it and nothing coming out.
“Then it bled and bled and bled – for like a week.
“I was in shock when I found out. I had never heard of basal cell carcinoma.”
Davis first spotted the “pimple” a year ago and would spent time covering it up with concealer.
“It was really hard,” she said.
“Like a volcano under the skin.
“I went walking with my girlfriend and it went purple and she pointed it out.
“I said ‘it’s just a pimple.’
“I was in denial.”
Davis said the spot became “really sore” by January and she tried to squeeze it.
She said: “Nothing happened.
“Then it bled and bled.
“I thought ‘that’s not normal.’”
Davis went to her doctor in February and was told it looked like skin cancer.
A biopsy confirmed she had basal cell carcinoma and she was told she would need surgery to remove the cancer.
Last month, Davis underwent a nasal flap reconstruction at Ormiston Hospital in to remove the cancer and pull the nose skin over the hole.
She said: “They cut up my nose in a zig zag. They cut out a crater. There was a hole in the end of my nose.
“They then bring the skin down to cover it.”
Davis was left with scaring and different shaped nostrils but said it is healing well.
She said: “It’s still healing.
“My nostrils are different shapes because they stretched the skin.
“The scar tissue is hard. The nerves are numb.
“Some people end up losing their nose so thank goodness.”
Davis will be monitored once a year as she said she can be more prone to skin cancer now she has had it once.
She wants to raise awareness of the symptoms so other people can go get it checked out.
“If I’d kept ignoring it, it would have got way bigger.
“I might have got to the stage where they couldn’t cut it out.
“I honestly thought it was a pimple.
“I thought skin cancer was a mole.
“Skin block wasn’t a thing when I was growing up.
“Now it’s in my day to day skin care.”
Davis has had her stitches out and is now looking after her skin and upping her collagen in take to help with scarring.
She said: “At first I thought I’m 52 and single, now I’m going to have this hideous nose.
“But it’s been quite empowering.
“It’s only skin deep. It’s what’s on the inside that counts.”
