And in DC News Zack Snyder teases an R Rated Snyder Cut Justice League.

ALSO, in our talk of The Mandalorian I get confused about remembering a bomb going off in Jango’s helmet during The Clone Wars. I later Google’d and came across this on Wookieepedia:

With Jango’s death, his armor passed to Boba. During the Clone Wars, Boba tried to kill Windu with a bomb that he planted inside his father’shelmet. Although the explosive was triggered by Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, Windu not only survived but also saved Skywalker in the process. While trapped under the wreckage of the Endurance, Windu inspected the damaged helmet of the hunter that he defeated on Geonosis, having realized that Boba was involved in the plot against him.
