Facebook’s Trending Topics—an innocuous-seeming module that has become a magnet for controversy over bias and fake news—is getting another reboot. The post Facebook Reboots Trending Topics—Again—as Fake News Festers appeared first on WIRED.

Several years ago, we discovered what some had known for decades: That George Lucas’ original Star Wars trilogy had borrowed, rather liberally and without giving credit, from a French comic series called Valérian and Laureline. Talented illustrator Jean-Claude Mézières and writer Pierre Christin had produced the wildly popular sci-fi comic starting in the 1960s. Here are some of the most egregious examples of shots and concepts that sprang from Mézières’ pen and wound up, uncredited, in George Lucas’ films:

Mézières was reportedly incensed at the time of the original trilogy’s release. (Read the story, and our write-up of him and his excellent work, here.) But now Mézières and Christin, both 78 years old, have had some fantastic news: Valérian has finally been made into a live-action movie directed by fan Luc Besson! (Besson had previously used Mézières concept work for The Fifth Element.)

Here’s the trailer, which looks pretty fantastic:

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets will be released this summer.

Jeez Louise!
