Moreover three-quarters of UK companies pay their male employees more than their female employees, and males earn at least 10% more than women in nine of seventeen industries.

Changes to the screenplay came in so late, according to Matthew Wood, sound editor on The Rise of Skywalker, that he had to visit the house of Adam Driver, who played villain Kylo Ren throughout the last trilogy, to record him delivering a few new and crucial lines in a pretty low-tech setting.
