I bought a Nintendo Switch last week to play Super Mario Odyssey. But there’s one thing I can’t fully grasp with the device and how it made it through product testing: the kickstand. Nintendo always shows the Switch on a stable table, and I don’t think a laptop on my legs qualifies as such.

When George Lucas began work on Star Wars in 1976, he approached Milena Canonero, who designed the costumes for Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange. “For Darth Vader, we put on a black motorcycle suit, a Nazi helmet, a gas mask, and a monk’s cloak we found in the Middle Ages department,” he recalled in The Making of Star Wars.
