The seafoam green Spirit Jersey features Baby Yoda perched and peeking out from the top, almost as if he was in some sort of baby carrier.
Do note that it’s a graphic of Baby Yoda (“The Child”) and not a still from the series.
On the back, big puffy letters show off the show’s logo in dark blue. Mando is seen in the “A”.
The Spirit Jersey retails for $69.99. We found it inside MouseGear at EPCOT, so if you’re looking in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you may want to have your tracker fob checked, or you’ll never collect this bounty!
Kevin Hart has shared his life with ultimate transparency and his new Netflix docuseries, Don’t F**k This Up, is no different. The six-part series follows the comedian and CEO over a year span and takes viewers on an inside look into the behind the scenes moments of his hectic tour and film schedule – and his life as a husband and a father. The show also chronicles the fallout from two of the biggest scandals of his career.

One of the scandals documented is the media frenzy that ensued when the tabloids reported he cheated on his very pregnant wife, Eniko Hart. Eniko painfully recalled the moment she experienced the unimaginable heartbreak and how she was able to ultimately forgive her husband.
Kevin Hart marries Eniko Hart
Kevin and Eniko met in 2009 at a nightclub in D.C. She spoke about their first meeting in the Netflix special and beamed when she detailed how Kevin serenaded her on stage. The attraction between the two was instant, with Eniko recalling how she fell in love with the comedian because of his ability to make her laugh.

Kevin took Eniko with him on the road as he toured as a stand up comic. After getting the approval of his friends, Eniko passed the ultimate test after she met his two children from his previous marriage. Eniko’s ability to ignore the noise surrounding when and how the began dating – as he wasn’t officially divorced when they met – was an indicator to Kevin that she was the one.

Kevin proposed to Eniko on her 30th birthday. They married in a lavish ceremony in August 2016.
Reports surface that Kevin Hart cheated on his wife
Things with Kevin and Eniko seemed to be going well and the couple announced they were expecting their first child together on Mother’s Day 2017.

Rumors swirled that Kevin was unfaithful for months before it was confirmed that he’d stepped out on his wife. A few weeks prior to the public finding, a secret video of Kevin in a vehicle with a woman who was not his wife surfaced. Though it wasn’t clear that anything was taking place, Kevin was caught in a compromising position.
Several weeks later, he posted a video to his social media hinting that he’d done something wrong outside of his marriage. He also warned that more details were to come and he’d explain when the time was right. Kevin ended the video by apologizing to his wife and kids.

It was later confirmed that Kevin was intimate with a woman named Montia Sabbag and it was all caught on video. After a wild night in Vegas, Kevin said that he screwed up majorly but cheating on Eniko. He later revealed that a close friend tried to extort him and was the culprit behind releasing the tape. Sabbag later sued him and his former friend for $60 million.
Eniko Hart reveals how she found out Kevin Hart was unfaithful
Eniko didn’t find out about Kevin’s infidelity from him directly. Instead, she received a notification on social media. She recalled the discovery in part three of the docuseries.

“How I found out was a DM,” Eniko began. “I don’t know who it was, sent me an edited video of Kevin and another woman….I opened my phone and immediately I just lost it. I called him crying, I’m like pissed. Right then and there I kept saying, ‘How the f–k did you let that happen?’”
She says that she was humiliated and the commentary on social media didn’t help. Kevin’s poor choice led to daily arguments for the couple and she threatened to leave if he didn’t clean up his act.
Being so close to giving birth to her first child, Eniko believes she was able to get through the rough experience because of their unborn son. She focused on having a healthy remainder of her pregnancy.

Kevin says that the immediate aftermath of the scandal and having difficult conversations with Eniko about his indiscretion was the hardest part of the experience. Knowing how badly he hurt her, he says it made him want to do better and never put himself or his family in the same predicament.
Ultimately, Eniko’s desire to raise their son in a two-parent household and keep her family together is what drove her to forgive Kevin. Their son Kenzo was born shortly after the hiccup and Eniko says the experience made Kevin a better man.
Mama June and her boyfriend, Geno Doak, left a filthy, bloody mess behind at a Georgia hotel ... and the incontrovertible evidence consists of photos allegedly snapped after they left.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... June and Geno have been bouncing around hotels south of Atlanta, and were shacked up at a FairBridge Inn & Suites a couple months back when they had a fiery argument and trashed their room.
We know cops were called to the hotel for a disturbance, but law enforcement tells us no report was filed and there were no arrests.
Based on the pics, their hotel room was completely wrecked after they split -- broken TV and lamp, garbage strewn about ... and a shattered mirror with what looks like a bloody handprint on it. Some $20 bills ripped to pieces for some reason also appear to have been left behind.
Our sources say, all in all, Mama and her man did $1,000 in damages. We've reached out to the hotel to see how the matter was settled, but we're told the place is under new management ... so nobody knows.
We also reached out to June ... no word back yet.
TMZ.com
As you know ... the troubled reality TV star has been living outta hotels with Geno since unloading her Hampton, GA home for $100,000 cash earlier this year. When we last saw them together, they were hitting up a casino in North Carolina on Black Friday ... not looking particularly lucky.
When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle married, the whole world seemed as smitten with the couple as they were with each other. It’s a fairy tale story when a member of the royal family marries a “commoner.” And it seems like an actress from America couldn’t be any more different from royalty.
But it didn’t take long for the public to start picking at the beautiful couple, and what began as a fairy tale soon became a bitter story for them. What went wrong, and can they look forward to turning things around in 2020?
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had a beautiful beginning to 2019
In many ways, 2019 seems like a wonderful year for Prince Harry and Markle.
In May, a year after their wedding, they welcomed their first baby, a beautiful son named Archie. They were both clearly besotted with their little boy, and it seemed as though things were perfect for the little family.
They had plenty of other triumphs in the year also. They went on a tour of Africa that meant a great deal to them. Not only were they able to highlight a number of charities that are dear to their hearts, but they also honored the memory of the late Princess Diana.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also launched their own charitable foundation. There seemed to be plenty of positive events in their life.

Shortly after the birth of Archie, the couple moved out of Kensington Palace and into Frogmore Cottage. Soon rumors began to circulate that the reason for the move was that there was a falling out between Prince Harry and Prince William — perhaps over Prince William’s feelings that the couple rushed into marriage.
Whether it was a fair assessment or not, people blamed Duchess Meghan for the estrangement between the brothers. Soon the press was relentlessly criticizing the couple, especially Markle.
They claimed the Duchess of Sussex treated the staff rudely and pointed out every tiny detail they could find that seemed to show she was not royal enough. She was even mocked for how she held Baby Archie.
When a tabloid used shady tactics to get their hands on a letter she wrote to her estranged father, Prince Harry had enough. He sued the tabloid and wrote a blistering statement about the underhanded behavior of the tabloids.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry try to defend themselves
During an interview for a documentary about their Africa trip, Markle made an emotional statement about how hard it was to be a new mom and face lots of criticism. Although many people empathized with her, especially mothers, it didn’t do much to bolster her image as a dignified member of the royal family.
The couple decided to take a break from all the drama and go to the U.S. for some respite. This has spawned a whole new crop of rumors that they are considering resigning from their royal duties and leaving England for good.
They haven’t made any statements responding to these rumors, but they do seem to be trying to protect their privacy a little more. They’ve recently changed their Instagram settings to prevent fans from tagging them in photos, so they don’t show up on their account.
Royal watchers wonder if their new cautious attitude is too little, too late. With the scandals that have rocked the royal family recently, everyone will have to do extra work to keep their image burnished.
With the somewhat erratic behavior of Prince Harry and Markle, people wonder if they will be able to step up and do what the Queen asks of them. If Prince Harry and Markle aren’t able to learn from the past year and be a little more careful in 2020, things might not get any easier any time soon.
"Jerry gave us such joy through his music," goddaughter Jane Dorian said in a statement to CNN. "He was the poet laureate of our time and gave so many extraordinary songs. He touched our hearts and souls with his music and we will miss him deeply."
The musicals Herman scored, like the protagonists they starred, were all anchored by a buoyant optimism and a timeless quality even he admitted was uncommon toward the end of his nearly 40-year career. But his songs have since become standards.
"He was so insightful and perceptive," Dorian told CNN. "He really captured the soul and spirit of who we are as Americans."
Many of his most notable musicals centered around charismatic women, like "Hello, Dolly!" "Mame" and "Mack & Mabel," which starred Broadway titans Carol Channing, Angela Lansbury and Bernadette Peters, respectively.
But with "La Cage aux Folles" in 1983, Herman quietly broke ground on Broadway with his portrait of a gay couple who ran a drag nightclub whose relationship woes and triumphs resembled that of any heterosexual couple portrayed on stage. It was a certifiable hit, running for 1,761 performances.
His work earned him four Tony Awards, including a Special Tony for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre. In 2010, his work was celebrated at the Kennedy Center Honors alongside Oprah Winfrey and Sir Paul McCartney.
"I'm certainly aware of how different popular music is today from when I started in this business, and I realize that my songwriting is not generally in fashion," he told the New York Times in 1985. "But 'La Cage' made me feel secure about going on and just being what I am, and writing simple, hummable tunes."
A self-taught musician who nailed the human condition
Herman devoted himself to the stage after his parents took him to see a production of "Annie Get Your Gun" in the late 1940s. He loved it so much he taught himself to play the piano.
Dorian, whose mother befriended Herman when the two studied at the University of Miami, said Herman was rejected from musical schools a number of times -- not because he was untalented, but because, the auditioners told him, if they trained him, he'd "ruin his talent."
So Herman continued to hone his own talent, writing revues of his songs before he cemented his star with "Hello, Dolly!" in 1964.
That show, and many shows that followed, explore the relationships and inner workings of older leads and much younger supporting characters. It's a skill -- understanding how love transforms with age -- in his songwriting that's grown on Dorian as she's matured.
"I've always found that the more I listen to his lyrics at different stages of my life, they take on different meanings," she said. "He's always spot-on about life, no matter what stage of life. The simplicity of his lyrics can be incredibly powerful."
But beyond his work onstage, he was a second father and best friend to Dorian throughout her life. She remembered an evening when Herman ducked behind a bar in his home during a meeting with legendary producer David Merrick so he could help her with her English homework.
He lived with the same optimism and joy, plus a dash of "devilish humor," that made his music and lyrics so widely beloved, she said.
"It's not often you get to choose your family," she said. "He was just my heart."
Anthony Daniels has the rare distinction of being in every live-action Star Wars movie. That’s 11 appearances of C-3PO, the translation droid he plays, and that’s a lot of wearing a gold metal costume. From 1977’s originalto now, Daniels admits he’s just made one revelation about Star Wars after completing The Rise of Skywalker.

Daniels was at the press conference for The Rise of Skywalker on December 4. He spoke about his 42 year journey with the galaxy far, far away and what he’s only just now realized in 2019. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is in theaters now.
C-3PO in the ‘Star Wars’ saga
Audiences first met C-3PO along with R2-D2 (Kenny Baker) when they got separated from Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and ended up on Tattooine where Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) bought them. R2-D2 had Leia’s message to Obi Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness) which sent them all on the first three adventures.

In the prequels, young Annakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd) build C-3PO, and the droid found himself haplessly involved in another trilogy of space adventures. Not only is C-3PO still around in The Force Awakens, but he manages to appear in the prequel Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Solo: A Star Wars Story.
This got old about playing C-3PO
Being in every Star Wars movie meant answering exponentially more questions about Star Wars. For a while, each actor was in three movies at most, and even Hamill and Fisher top out at six. Even though Daniels was in 11 films, many of the questions got repetitive.

“The questions I really don’t like is ‘what was it like’ or ‘how does it feel to be in Star Wars?’” Daniels said. “I only just realized, because I’ve been in all of them, all of the spinoffs and stuff, I am so close to it. And I say it’s rather like having your nose up against the planet. You can’t see how big that planet is. Gradually now, I’m beginning to get a perspective on it.”
This made Anthony Daniels appreciate what a privilege ‘Star Wars’ has been
One thing Star Wars offered Anthony Daniels was job security. C-3PO never aged so he could keep putting on the costume forever. But now he’s learned it’s more than that.

“That comes from talking to fans, people who say what Star Wars has meant to them over the years,’ Daniels said. “It’s meant something really different to me. It’s a job. It’s kind of fun. It’s kind of awkward sometimes as we all know. It’s not a smooth ride.”
Anthony Daniels looks at ‘Star Wars’ much differently after ‘The Rise of Skywalker’
11 movies and 42 years later, Anthony Daniels can finally see the big picture of Star Wars.

“I just realized in the last few months something that I had not thought before,” Daniels said. “Finally I’m getting to see it almost from the other perspective and that’s the perspective of the audience who’ve been there all this time. You had to have survived all this long enough to get this perspective.”
