Battle of Attu

May 2018 marks the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Attu as part of the Pacific Theater of World War II--the only ground battle of the war to take place on American soil. For thousands of years, Attu was home to people and wildlife and long before the war, the land existed as one of the earliest Federally protected wildlife resource areas. The Battle of Attu forever changed the island, its inhabitants, and the lives of those who waged battle there, leaving behind scars and stories scattered among the national wildlife refuge that exists today.

"It was one of the first characters I was ever introduced to in my life," he revealed. "The Lando action figure was the first toy I ever had." Thandie Newton, who plays Val, said the film is "a roller coaster, I swear to god, with surprises and thrills and fun and a lot of heart." Paul Bettany plays Dryden Vos in the movie, and he believes this film is very different than the rest of the franchise. "[The viewers] can expect a really different tone and a lot of caper and a lot of escapade," he said.

Emilia Clarke, who plays Qi'Ra, said of the 'Star Wars' saga: "This is so treasured and loved and beloved, and I'm just incredibly honored to be a part of it." Director Ron Howard, meanwhile, was asked about joining the film late in the game. "I believed there was something exciting to be done here and hoped I could help realize its potential," he told ABC News. "I wound up going into it that way and very shortly I made a much deeper personal connection to the characters, the story and the themes."
