Jude Law: Star Wars series reminded me of childhood ‘wonderment’ with 1977 filmBy Naomi Clarke, PA Senior Entertainment ReporterJude Law has said exploring the Star Wars world through the eyes of a child in the franchise’s new series reminded him of the “wonderment” he experienced when first watching the original 1977 film. The forthcoming Disney+ coming-of-age series, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, follows four children searching for their home planet after getting lost in the Star Wars galaxy. The series is the latest edition in the epic sci-fi Star Wars franchise, which began in 1977 with the eponymous film created by George Lucas. The original trilogy, which was released between 1977 and 1983, was followed by a prequel trilogy from 1999 to 2005 and a sequel film trilogy was later released between 2015 and 2019. A host of Star Wars series have been released since then, with a string of live-action spin-offs being released on Disney+ in recent years.

The Central Bank of Ireland has fined payments platform BlueSnap Payment Services €324,240 for breaching regulations around the mishandling of its customers' money. The breaches occurred between January 2021 and December 2022 and were contrary to safeguarding measures designed to ensure payment platforms do not mix customer funds with company funds. BlueSnap is authorised by the Central Bank to provide “merchant acquiring services” to businesses who wish to accept payments online for products and services sold. “Safeguarding is particularly important as there is no compensation or deposit protection scheme applicable to the payment and e-money sector,” the Central Bank said. The Central Bank said BlueSnap breached safeguarding measures as it did not deposit its customers’ funds in BlueSnap’s designated safeguarding account, it mixed its customers’ funds with other funds, and the company delayed informing the Central Bank once it became aware it was not following the safeguarding procedures.
