Gravitas Ventures has acquired North American distribution rights to At the Ready, the documentary from Maisie Crow that follows three El Paso teenagers who embark on careers in law enforcement as the debates surrounding immigration and police reform in America reach fever pitches. The doc will be released in theaters and on digital platforms October 22.
Crow’s film focuses on students at El Paso’s Horizon High School, 10 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border, who are part of a criminal justice club, which includes mock-ups of drug raids and active-shooter takedowns as they eye careers with the Border Patrol and in policing and customs enforcement. They soon discover their choices may clash with the values and people they hold most dear.
Crow, Hillary Pierce and Abbie Perrault are producing. Gravitas previously released Pierce’s immigration doc The River and the Wall.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - as you undoubtedly know already - tells the tale of the Rebel spies that stole the Death Star plans, just before the opening crawl for the original Star Wars movie, which nowadays is known as A New Hope. But as epic as this one act of defiance against the Empire is, it's not the full story of the Rebel Alliance.

The best part about Star Wars is how vast it is. Even with several decades of the Expanded Universe cast into the realm of Legends, the best-known galaxy far, far away has a lot left to explore. Fans can pick how deep they want to go down the rabbit hole. You don’t have to read the Darth Vader comics to enjoy the original trilogy. You don’t have to watch The Clone Wars cartoon to grasp how Anakin changed between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. You don’t have to read Bloodlines to know General Leia is a force to be reckoned with in The Force Awakens. But you can if you want to. One of the best parts about the new Star Wars canon? Star Wars Rebels on Disney Xd. I’ll be honest. At first, the animation style of Rebels turned me off to the show.

We were reintroduced to General Leia Organa in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and the return episode of Star Wars Rebels will take us back to the character's teenage revolutionary years as the young Princess arrives on Lothal to liaison with Kanan, Ezra and co. This take on Leia won't be brought to life by Carrie Fisher, as instead we have Julie Dolan (who also played Leia in the video game Star Wars: Uprising) on voice duty. Check out our first clip from "A Princess On Lothal" below. "The teenage princess is sent to Lothal—the base planet for the series’ main characters, a group of rebel fighters—on a secret mission to bring ships for the rebel fleet. Unfortunately an Imperial lockdown throws that plan into chaos."...

Fan-favorite Princess Leia Organa will be making an appearance in an upcoming episode of the second season of Disney Xd's "Star Wars Rebels" and the first clip of said appearance is online below:
Sadly Carrie Fisher will not provide the voice for the iconic character she played in the films. Instead Julie Dolan, who voiced Leia in the video game "Star Wars: Uprising," will take on the part. The episode, "A Princess in Lothal," is set to air Wednesday, January 20th.
Executive producer Dave Filoni says: "We thought we had an opportunity to show her learning to be a leader, experimenting with the personality that becomes the stronger more resolute character you see in A New Hope. One of the complex challenges of depicting Leia in Rebels is that we have to remind the audience that at this point she is part of the Empire. She doesn't believe in the Empire,...
