Femme agressée à Blois par son ancien compagnon : 15 ans de prison pour violences volontaires aggravées
La cour a écarté la tentative de meurtre arguant qu’un doute subsistait sur la volonté de Marvin Joli de tuer « en dépit de la violence et de la localisation des coups portés ». Une intention qui ne faisait « aucun doute » selon l’avocate de la victime souffrant de séquelles irréversibles de son agression.

Construction Walls and Closed Kitchens: Why One of Disney World’s Most Expensive Hotels is Facing a Massive 2026 Overhaul
For guests planning a stay at the “Most Magical Place on Earth,” choosing a resort is often the most significant decision of the trip. Among the top-tier options, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort stands as a beacon of New England-style elegance. As a “Deluxe” category hotel, it is one of the most expensive properties on Disney World property, with room rates often soaring well above $600 per night.

The resort is entering a period of significant transition, marked by the simultaneous closure of two of its most beloved dining institutions and a sprawling list of exterior maintenance projects. The Culinary Hit: Yachtsman Steakhouse and Crew’s Cup Lounge Announce Closures The most significant blow to the Yacht Club’s current offerings is the upcoming closure of its signature dining anchors. For many, a trip to the Yacht Club isn’t complete without a meal at the Yachtsman Steakhouse, a premier destination known for its grain-fed beef, open-view butchery shop, and sophisticated nautical atmosphere. Credit: Disney The resort is preparing for a staggered refurbishment of its central dining hub: Crew’s Cup Lounge: This cozy, wood-paneled retreat—famed for its prime rib sliders and craft cocktails—is scheduled to close on February 23, 2026. Fans of this hidden gem will have to wait until May 2026 for its anticipated reopening. Yachtsman Steakhouse: Shortly after the Crew’s Cup returns, the main event goes dark. The Yachtsman Steakhouse is slated for a major “refresh” beginning in May 2026, with a projected reopening in August 2026. For guests paying Deluxe prices, the loss of these locations is a significant hurdle. While Ale & Compass remains open nearby, the absence of the resort’s premier steakhouse removes one of the primary reasons many foodies choose to stay at the Yacht Club over other Epcot-area hotels. A Multi-Year Facelift: Scaffolding at the Yacht and Beach The kitchen closures are only one part of the puzzle. If you walk the promenade along Crescent Lake in early 2026, you won’t just see the Friendship Boats; you’ll see cranes and construction crews. Credit: Disney Disney is currently in the middle of a massive, multi-year exterior maintenance project for both the Yacht Club and its sister resort, the Beach Club. This project involves deep cleaning, repainting the iconic “Yacht Club Grey” and “Beach Club Blue” facades, and performing essential balcony and roof repairs. The Visual Impact For guests who booked a “Water View” room at these premium rates, the reality may include scaffolding outside their window or “shrink-wrap” over sections of the building’s exterior. While Disney makes every effort to limit noise to daytime hours (typically 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.), the aesthetic of a high-end seaside resort is undeniably altered by the presence of heavy machinery. This project is expected to continue through late 2026 for the Yacht Club and likely well into 2027 for the Beach Club. The Leisure Pool “Squeeze” Even the recreational areas aren’t exempt from the 2026 refurbishment wave. While the resort’s crown jewel—the three-acre Stormalong Bay pool complex—is currently open and bustling, the “quiet” areas of the resort are undergoing a rotation of closures. Credit: Disney The Admiral Pool (Yacht Club): This leisure pool is currently undergoing a total refresh and is expected to remain closed through May 2026. The Tidal Pool (Beach Club): Following the same timeline, this leisure pool is also walled off for maintenance until May 2026. For guests who prefer the tranquility of a quiet swim away from the sand-bottom chaos of Stormalong Bay, the options are currently limited. During this window, the Dunes Cove Pool at the Beach Club Villas remains the only “quiet” alternative for the entire resort complex.

Dave Filoni Reportedly Doesn’t Like ‘Andor,’ Sparking Concern Over ‘Star Wars’ Future
Dave Filoni is officially the new co-president of Lucasfilm, but the appointment has landed unevenly with fans, particularly following renewed scrutiny of his comments about one of the franchise’s most acclaimed recent projects. Credit: Lucasfilm ‘Andor’ Finds Success Amid a Lukewarm ‘Star Wars’ Landscape Recent years have been uneven for Star Wars, particularly as the franchise pivoted aggressively toward Disney+. The first season of The Mandalorian was widely embraced, but subsequent series struggled to generate the same momentum. The Acolyte faced heavy backlash and was ultimately canceled after a single season. Even Obi-Wan Kenobi, despite bringing back Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan and Hayden Christensen and Anakin Skywalker, drew a notably mixed response from both critics and longtime fans. That is what made Andor stand apart. Credit: Lucasfilm Created by Tony Gilroy, Andor serves as a prequel to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016), following Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) in the years leading up to his involvement with the Rebel Alliance. The series trades lightsabers and legacy characters for grounded political tension, espionage, and the slow mechanics of resistance. Rather than framing rebellion as a mythic destiny, Andor depicts it as a series of compromises, moral failures, and quiet sacrifices. Its storytelling is deliberately restrained, focusing on ordinary people navigating authoritarian rule rather than galaxy-spanning heroics. Much of the show’s acclaim stems from that restraint. Fans and critics praised Andor for treating its audience seriously, leaning into mature themes such as surveillance, radicalization, and the cost of dissent. The series was frequently described as less concerned with expanding lore and more interested in examining power itself. Credit: Lucasfilm For many viewers, Andor represented a version of Star Wars that felt both new and overdue — a sharp contrast to a franchise increasingly defined by nostalgia and interconnected spectacle. And yet the man set to take over the creative reins of a galaxy far, far away isn’t a fan. Dave Filoni Isn’t a Fan of ‘Andor’ – And Fans Are Alarmed According to The Wrap, Filoni “disliked” Andor. “The series, a stark spy thriller about how tyranny takes root, is unquestionably the greatest creative triumph of the [Kathleen Kennedy] era,” the publication wrote in a recent report. “It was also, according to an individual who worked inside Lucasfilm, a series that Filoni disliked.” Credit: Lucasfilm Needless to say, some Star Wars fans haven’t taken well to the news. Many think Filoni’s anti-Andor sentiment is indicative of the direction the franchise will take under his tenure. “So the best thing that they’ve put out in the past 10 years they will make sure never happens again?” one X, formerly Twitter, user wrote. Another said, “Of course, it didn’t take an old EU novel and shit all over it. That’s Filoni’s favorite way of writing ‘Star Wars.'” I’m not surprised dave filoni could never write something as strong and as powerful as Andor. I'm not surprised dave filoni could never write something as strong and as powerful as Andor. https://t.co/4cwf1opIdx — Thomas Thorburn (@ThomasThorbur11) January 16, 2026 “Andor is for adults not for children like most Star Wars content,” one said. “Which is the kind of garbage he prefers.” What’s Next For Dave Filoni’s ‘Star Wars’? Regardless of Dave Filoni’s feelings towards the show, a third season isn’t on the cards for Andor. While showrunner Tony Gilroy initially envisioned the show as a five-season project, he ultimately decided to condense the storyline into two dense seasons after realizing the full extent of Season 1’s production process. Credit: Lucasfilm Diego Luna also emphasized the impossibility of making future seasons. “We work two years and a half for each season of this show,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “Imagine five seasons. It’s impossible. That’s more than a decade doing just one show. It’s impossible to…
