Learn about the creation of the rebel game Five Hands and other fascinating behind-the-scenes facts from the making of the Star Wars series, with the first three episodes now streaming on Disney+.
By StarWars.com Team
If Five Hands — the game the Maya Pei Brigade plays to solve their internal disputes deep in the jungle — looks familiar, that’s because Sam Gilroy created it based on the playground staple Rock Paper Scissors.
The actor behind Gerdis this season and actor Benjamin Norris, who plays his rival Bardi, initially inspired their characters at a family dinner, his father and creator and executive producer Tony Gilroy tells StarWars.com.
“I went out for dinner with my family. It was a big, long dinner table and I was at the end of the table with my son and Ben Norris,” he recalls. “It was a big, rowdy, drunken dinner.” Their antics gave Gilroy an idea for the series, adding a bit of levity and allowing a new take on the burgeoning rebellion. “So I went back and I started writing Heckle and Jeckle in the woods.”
As the character grew, Sam Gilroy crafted the Star Wars spin on the hand game by not only introducing alternative gestures, but also adding several layers of complexity. In Five Hands, there are 15 animal gestures, including rancor, snork, and snoozbird, which are displayed by two players in three rounds overseen by a referee.
You can see a shortened version, the so-called Roski Rules, playing out this week in the three-episode premiere of Andor. Read on for more fun facts and trivia from the first arc this season….

Welcome back to “This Week, In a Galaxy Far, Far Away“, in what is likely going to be our saddest edition yet. It’d been a slow news week and though I initially struggled with finding a topic for today’s edition, I finally settled on discussing recent reports surrounding streaming data from Nielsen. But then, the news about Carl Weathers hit on Friday and I had to change course.
Before we get to all of that, some plugs for other stuff I was working on this week. It’s been a busy week at MovieNewsNet.com, where I reviewed three films from last week’s Sundance online edition: breakout hit A Real Pain, this year’s winner In the Summers, and Hulu’s Suncoast. I was also able to see the new Daisy Ridley movie Sometimes I Think About Dying, which was pretty good! (It’s slowly expanding to more and more theaters in the US.) Last but not least, I was finally able to complete my top 24 most anticipated movies of the year!…
Welcome back to a new edition of “This Week, In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.” Is anyone else tired of seeing the same Ryan Gosling GIF from the Critics Choice Awards on social media? I thought so! It’s been an interesting week in Star Wars, for sure, even if we still have no news on The Bad Batch season 3 — although, according to Jennifer Corbett, something should get announced soon.
We have a lot to discuss today, as I’ll be running a status report on all confirmed Star Wars movies. As always, let me know your thoughts, opinions, comments, and complaints in the comments section or via our Contact page. The idea of these weekly articles is to have a direct connection with our readers as we recap the week in the franchise with some analysis of what’s going on. Let us begin…
Happy Sunday, and welcome back to my weekly rant called “This Week, In a Galaxy Far, Far Away“. There was no shortage of things to talk about last week, but today, it’s going to be a slightly slower edition. As always, thanks for stopping by, and share the joy with your loved ones if you enjoy it! Today, we’ll discuss Star Wars sequel trilogy plans and how Netflix’s big viewership data dump could affect the Streaming Wars.
This past week has been the traditional busy time where everyone is trying to get their things in order before the holiday break, and that also happened to me. So many things to do, so little sleep. But I’m on the other side now, so hopefully, you’ll be soon too. Looking ahead, we have a few days before Christmas Day with a ton of new stuff, from Zack Snyder’s Star Wars wannabe Rebel Moon (which is getting destroyed by early reviews) to the event of the month for the Star Wars News Net *staff: the release of the Percy Jackson series on Disney Plus…
Oh these websites with staff!! What are staff?!! 😉

Happy Sunday, and welcome to a discussion-packed version of “This Week, In a Galaxy Far, Far Away“, as I return from a five-day holiday break where I live. Did I miss anything while I was gone? As always, thanks to our readers who have been keeping up with my Sunday rants from week to week. Feel free to share with your friends or on social media if you enjoy it, and let me know in the comments! Today, we’re talking The Mandalorian season 4, the Daisy Ridley-led Star Wars film, and the three-year anniversary of Disney’s Investor Day 2020….
Happy Sunday, and welcome to another edition of “This Week, In a Galaxy Far, Far Away“. First of all, thank you to everyone who has been keeping up with this weekly series of articles recapping the latest in the Star Wars galaxy. I’ve been having so much fun writing them, and your support for the last edition has encouraged me to keep them coming! Please share with your friends if you enjoy it, and don’t be shy: Let me know what works, what doesn’t, and pitch any ideas you may have.
It’s been a relatively quiet week in the Star Wars galaxy, at least compared to last week, but we still had quite a few of interesting quotes from several people tied to the franchise. Let’s break it all down, beginning with three headlines you may have missed….
If you live in the US, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, and either way, I hope you had a wonderful week. It wasn’t a holiday where I live, but I still enjoyed some time tuning out the news and the entertainment business (other than watching Napoleon on Friday) for a few days. And though it seemed like it would be a slow week for Star Wars, it was most definitely not, as Lucasfilm and Daisy Ridley dropped a one-two-punch on Tuesday. The effects of these stories reverberated into the weekend with more interviews from Dave Filoni and Taika Waititi. Let’s try to unpack it all!
Star Wars Quote of the Week
“It’s not what I expected, but I’m very excited,” Daisy Ridley told Collider in a recent chat discussing her new feature film, which will mark the return of Rey Skywalker in a story set 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker. There is a lot to unpack from the few sentences she said about the project, but this is definitely the one that’s been circulating the most. Prior to this comment, she also pointed out that “The story is really cool”…
