Bart Starr has sadly died.
The former Green Bay Packers quarterback passed away, his family confirmed in a statement on Sunday (May 26).
Bart led the Packers to five NFL championships. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1977.
“We are saddened to note the passing of our husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Bart Starr. He battled with courage and determination to transcend the serious stroke he suffered in September 2014, but his most recent illness was too much to overcome,” the statement reads.
“While he may always be best known for his success as the Packers quarterback for 16 years, his true legacy will always be the respectful manner in which he treated every person he met, his humble demeanor, and his generous spirit. Our family wishes to thank the thousands of friends and fans who have enriched his life – and therefore our lives – for so many decades and especially during the past five years. Each letter, text, phone call, and personal visit inspired him and filled him with joy. His love for all of humanity is well known, and his affection toward the residents of Alabama and of Wisconsin filled him with gratitude. He had hoped to make one last trip to Green Bay to watch the Packers this fall, but he shall forever be there in spirit.”
Our thoughts are with Bart‘s loved ones at this difficult time.
There’s a new addition coming to the Star Wars cinematic universe!
A movie based on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is reportedly in the works, according to Buzzfeed News.
The movie is allegedly being written by Laeta Kalogridis for Lucasfilm, and is based on the 2003 role-playing Jedi vs. Sith video game.
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy hinted at the film back in April during Star Wars Celebration: “Yes, we are developing something to look at. Right now, I have no idea where things might fall,” she said at the time.
According to the report, Laeta is “close to finishing” the first script of a potential trilogy, which would also make her the first female writer of a Star Wars movie since The Empire Strikes Back in 1980.
The Rise of Skywalker will close the nine-film Skywalker saga in December.

The 37-year-old Meaning of Life singer was in attendance at the Indy 500 on Sunday (May 26) at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, In.
While the singer delivered a fantastic rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” to kick off the race, she had a not-so-graceful moment on the red carpet at the event, tripping in her heels and catching herself before throwing her hands in the air to signal that she was fine.
“Best part of my day is always revealing to people that might not know how utterly not cool I am. That damn crack was hidden by the carpet man! #Indy500,” she wrote in response to a fan video of the incident.
