A prototype of Jaguar's upcoming electric GT has been spotted, with an official reveal planned for later this year. Recent spy images showcase a compact liftgate that does not feature a window. This electric vehicle is built on an entirely new platform and is expected to offer a range of 430 miles. Jaguar is gradually recovering from a severe cyberattack, and the company is optimistic about its future. The production version of the Type 00 concept is on track for a late-year launch. As testing continues at the Nürburgring, a prototype with slightly less camouflage has been seen in action. While the car remains heavily covered, the latest photographs provide a clearer view of the front air intakes. Production headlights, which are noticeably larger than those on the concept, are also visible.

The model will take cues from the Polestar 4 and 5 by not including a rear window. While this is a significant feature, it appears that the design may have practical drawbacks, as the opening is relatively small and the sill is quite high. In the photo, the height of the sill is at waist level for a man, requiring him to bend over to reach inside. This makes the experience seem less luxurious and may not be convenient for shorter individuals who might struggle to access storage in the back. Though the automaker has been quiet recently regarding the vehicle, it has previously mentioned that the “electric four-door GT” will be built on the new Jaguar Electrical Architecture. Additionally, the model is expected to achieve a range of up to 430 miles (692 km) and will feature rapid charging capabilities that can provide 200 miles (322 km) of range in just 15 minutes.

      The tales surrounding the creation of Star Wars are often just as captivating, if not more so, than the films themselves—filled with personal ambitions, institutional politics, and empires (the perception of their evil varies) that reflect the intricate dynamics of a galaxy far, far away. Eventually, there will be a book chronicling the franchise’s post-Lucas phase, detailing its limited ambitions and missed opportunities, with a crucial chapter focusing on news that has only emerged today.

      In a conversation with AP, Adam Driver—whose career has become so significant that I often forget he appeared in three of these films as the supposed successor to Darth Vader—disclosed that he and his Logan Lucky director, Steven Soderbergh, were working on a sequel to the trilogy centered on Kylo Ren (did you recall his name before I mentioned it?), a character that Driver felt had “unfinished business.” (And for Soderbergh, it was an excuse to watch Star Wars films nine times in 2024.) The narrative was substantial enough to engage screenwriter Scott Z. Burns, whose script The Hunt for Ben Solo was, according to Driver, one of the coolest scripts he had ever been part of.

      It's puzzling that, despite Lucasfilm’s support, Disney’s Bob Iger and Alan Bergman rejected the project because they “didn’t understand how Ben Solo was alive.” Soderbergh remarked, “I really enjoyed making the movie in my head. I just feel bad that the fans won’t have the chance to see it.” The Empire Strikes Back, along with what Driver refers to as a certain “handmade and character-driven” essence, served as an inspiration.

      This news is unlikely to spark significant interest for a future revival; instead, we are left with yet another spin-off series on Disney+ alongside a Jon Favreau-directed project transitioning from streaming to theaters. This thought is both more exasperating than any Star Wars-related issue should be in 2025 and a relief, providing justification to continue disregarding another aspect of the franchise.
