The Magnificent Seven is a 1960 American Western film directed by John Sturges and starring Yul Brynner, Eli Wallach, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, Brad Dexter, James Coburn and Horst Buchholz. The film is an Old West–style remake of Akira Kurosawa's 1954 Japanese film Seven Samurai.Brynner, McQueen, Bronson, Vaughn, Dexter, Coburn and Buchholz portray the title characters. Magnificent seven. Director Antoine Fuqua brings his modern vision to a classic story in The Magnificent Seven. With the town of Rose Creek under the deadly control of industrialist Bartholomew Bogue, the desperate townspeople employ protection from seven outlaws, bounty hunters, gamblers and hired guns. But there is a certain something that keeps The Magnificent Seven unique. Part of it is the concept borrowed from the earlier Japanese film, but some of it lies in the attitude of the seven mercenaries referred to in the title. Much is made here of the difference between fighting for money, fighting for justice, or fighting for a future. The Magnificent Seven never really lives up to the superlative in its title - or the classics from which it draws inspiration - but remains a moderately diverting action thriller on its own merits.

Ever since Baby Yoda was introduced to the world, he's been a phenomenon — now he's even helping to save lives. Thanks to Love Your Melon's Baby Yoda beanie, fans can rock a super cute hat and fight pediatric cancer. These beanies are so adorable, your kids may even willfully agree to wear a matching set with you.

Right now, you can pre-order a variety of hats and beanies from the Love Your Melon Star WarsMandalorian-themed collection. There are nine hats in total which feature either Baby Yoda or the Mandalorian mask. There are two different styles for each, and come in adult, child, and baby sizes (seriously, what's better than a baby in a Baby Yoda hat?!).

Feudalism was a social system that developed during the period called the Middle Ages in Europe. It probably began after the rule of Charlemagne, the leader of a mighty European empire. Feudalism was the system in place during the Middle Ages in Europe that existed instead of strong central governments. Specifically, feudalism was a system in which people gave kings and lords. Feudalism for dummies.

Even cooler, every purchase you make through Love Your Melon (Mandalorian-themed or otherwise) helps fund organizations focused on pediatric cancer: half of all Love Your Melon profits are donated to charities supporting pediatric cancer research, therapy, and patient families. Since the company started in 2012, they've given more than 190,000 hats to children battling cancer and have donated $7.1 million to research.

You don't need a reason to want to purchase a hat that features Baby Yoda or the Mandalorian mask, but it definitely doesn't hurt to have one. Here are some of the great options in the collection.

You can get this mint green, 100% cotton beanie in children's or adult sizes. It has an adorable slouchy fit which makes it great to wear beyond the winter months. Plus, it's washing machine and dryer safe.

If the Mandalorian mask is more your thing, this pom beanie is a dark charcoal color with a black patch on the front. You can remove the pom to wash and dry the hat, and it also comes in kid and adult sizes.

The slouchy beanie is really cute, but there's something a little extra about the Baby Yoda pom beanie. It's made from the same 100% cotton, is washing machine and dryer safe (just remove the pom first), and comes in adult and kid sizes.
