The Star Wars Holiday Special is one of the most infamous, cursed television programs ever produced. Airing during the 1978 holiday season, more than a year after Star Wars premiered in theaters and became a sensation, it was created as a quick cash-in between films—a fact that was obvious to anyone who watched it (which was nearly impossible for a long time; thank the maker for YouTube).

From the weird storyline (involving a Wookie celebration known as “Life Day”), to the horrific songs, to the decidedly budget look, to the grudging participation of “special guests” the likes of Bea Arthur and Jefferson Starship, to the fact that Carrie Fisher (RIP) clearly only made it through filming with, er, pharmaceutical help, it would have been thrown straight into the garbage smasher were it about anything other than the biggest movie ever made.

So, naturally, Disney+ is making another one—albeit this time starring the LEGO versions of the characters, a la the popular LEGO Star Wars video game series. If the games—which have no qualms about poking fun at the saga—are any indication, the LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special might actually be good? If nothing else, it will be self-aware. It premieres on the streaming service on Nov. 17, just in time for Thanksgiving.

Other noteworthy additions to Disney+ in November include new episodes of The Mandalorian and The Right Stuff; the Nov. 20 premiere of Marvel 616, a new docu-series showcasing “the intersections of storytelling, pop culture, and fandom within the Marvel Universe;” and the Disney+ exclusive release of Black Beauty, a modern retelling of the beloved (and often filmed) children’s book.

Apple will replace AirPods Pro for free with faulty noise cancellation, static or crackling

Today, exactly one year after Apple first launched the AirPods Pro — and thus the same day the very first AirPods Pro owners will see their one-year warranties expire — Apple has launched a repair program that offers free repairs or replacements for another whole year if your AirPods Pro experience issues with noise cancellation or static.

Specifically, Apple will fix:

Crackling or static sounds that increase in loud environments, with exercise or while talking on the phone

Active Noise Cancellation not working as expected, such as a loss of bass sound, or an increase in background sounds, such as street or airplane noise

Apple says only a “small percentage of AirPods Pro” are affected by the issues, but it apparently wasn’t just an early batch — Apple says affected units were manufactured “before October 2020,” meaning every AirPods Pro ever made might be eligible. That’s quite a recall if so. Apple says it will repair faulty AirPods Pro for two years after you first buy them.

We’ve heard complaints about degraded noise cancellation before, and at least one Verge editor has replaced their AirPods Pro under warranty. It’s nice to hear that Apple isn’t just cutting buyers off as soon as that warranty expires.
