But the very fact that you do not want to fly perilous missions is proof you are sane. "Orr was crazy and could be grounded," the protagonist of Catch-22, Yossarian, says of a colleague. "All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions." In the impeachment inquiry into the conduct of Donald Trump, American president, Democrats face a similar dilemma. Except somehow, it is more cynical—and dumber.

That's how Frank Sheeran describes his lifelong career of crime, bloodshed, and killing, in the final act of Martin Scorsese's The Irishman. When asked by a Catholic priest if he feels sorry about his murderous past–chiefly the slaughter of Jimmy Hoffa, a man who might as well have been Sheeran's own brother–the geriatric loner responds, "I don't." He has no sympathy. Sheeran seems to simply lack the capability to feel anything at all. And while it may come as little surprise that a professional boogeyman would be lacking in emotional availability, this commentary is unexpected for a filmmaker who's spent about 50 years depicting the lives of violent men and prompting viewers to draw their own conclusions.

But four episodes in, Boba Fett, the franchise's most famous and beloved member of that legendary warrior tribe, is still nowhere to be found.

Since The Mandalorian is set after Boba Fett's apparent death in Return of the Jedi, it may seem unlikely that the green-and-red armored Star Wars favorite could appear in Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni's production. But with the return of Emperor Palpatine in Rise of Skywalker, and the appearance of a younger, potentially cloned version of Jedi Master Yoda in The Mandalorian, Disney has made it clear that death is by no means the end for characters in the Star Wars franchise.

Fans have focused in on Rami Malek's Phantom of the Opera-masked villain, who we only know as Safin so far. Fans on Reddit are theorizing that Safin—you guessed it—isn't really Safin. Instead, for Craig's last ride in the franchise, the Bond team will throw it back to the first 007 film, ever, Dr. No. Read More         Read More on Esquire.com       Follow Us     Unsubscribe  Privacy Notice   esquire.com ©2019 Hearst Communications Inc.
