OK, admittedly there have been 12 official live-action feature films in the Star Wars franchise, but arguably only three qualify as Sequels (Star Wars Episodes VII, VIII, and IX.)
(AI actually gives "Godzilla" credit for the record at 37 sequels which includes both Japanese and American made movies. Rather than true sequels though one could argue that simply are 37 movies in which Godzilla is a character.)

DURING THIS FIRST WEEK OF JUNE, WITH ITS RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES, SEABIRDS AND CANADIAN GEESE SURROUND THE COOL WATERS OF ANCHORAGE ALASKA'S COOK INLET, BOATERS RACE ON ITS TREACHEROUS WATERS, AND F-22 RAPTORS ROCKET UP OVER AND FALL BACK DOWN TOWARD THE INLET'S SCENIC SNOW-CAPPED MOUNT SUSITNA
The first two videos in the below linked playlist capture the same uS Air Force F-22 Raptor fighter jet as it first rockets upward into the Alaska stratosphere and then, in the second video, it is seen "freely fallin' " towards earth's scenic snow-capped Mt Susitna, accompanied by the music, Free Fallin'."
Subsequent videos add flights above Anchorage's Cook Inlet by both F-22 Raptors and a USAF C-17 iconic transport. Included are views of the stunning Alaska scenery surrounding Cook Inlet with mountains Susitna, McKinley a/k/a Denali, its sister Mt Foraker and active Volcano Mt Spurr located some 80 miles distant.
Also included are views of Seabirds and Canadian Geese as they flock to the shores of Anchorage's Cook Inlet as well as videos of speeding inflatables racing and turning on the treacherous ocean waters of Cook Inlet below the backdrop of scenic Mount Susitna.

HOW TO MAKE "FREE" WINDOW SCREENS FROM AVAILABLE MATERIALS
Temperatures hit record highs this first week of June in Anchorage Alaska where home air conditioning is unknown. After several evenings in our temporary rental home with the bedroom windows left open for fresh air we soon found we were sharing the space with neighborhood bees.
Not wanting to invest in costly screen windows, another solution was sought. That prompted the MacGyver in me to find a way to use readily available materials to come up with “Free” Screen Windows
In this video you will learn step-by-step how you too can make “Free” Screen Windows.

With its Zip Line, Moored Pirate Ship, and Lake, Anchorage's Jewel Lake Park is a Great Place to Beat the Heat this Hot First Week of June - Video and Photos from Today, Saturday
In this below linked three video playlist visually experience the unique features of Anchorage Alaska's Jewel Lake Park as captured on a hot (for Alaska) June day that concludes a week of record setting temperatures in the high 70s.
Here to beat the heat are participants in an informal soccer game, children wading in the Lake's waters with others riding the Park's Zip Line and yet more having fun on the Park's moored Pirate Ship.
Birds flying over the Lake add to the ambiance as a dog plays catch and children race and chase.
Each video is accompanied by enjoyable music.

AND YES, THIS IS THE SAME JEWEL LAKE THAT SERVED AS THE SET FOR THE ARCTIC SEA INTHE DREW BARRYMORE FILM, "BIG MIRACLE:"
(In the immediately below photo which I took, Drew is wearing the multi-colored Life Jacket as she is meeting the whaling crew actors for the first time after her arrival in Alaska. She came all the way out to my neighborhood lake just to meet the Eskimo/Inupiat actors who would be appearing in scenes with her later in the filming.)
Jewel Lake not only affords a place to have fun in the summer, but it also has much to offer for winter fun. Pictured below is an event hosted by Luke Nichols of YouTube's "Outdoor Boys" fame. Luke also brought his Snow Dog to Jewel Lake for the day of fun.
