After two very consequential episodes, The Bad Batch finally cooled down a bit, but not without taking the chance to continue moving its plot forward across the Star Wars galaxy. However, despite lacking the tense moments, non-stop action, and important revelations seen in the show’s recent episodes, during this week’s “Common Ground” the Batch continues to stroll along nicely to show what the world looks like under the rule of the Galactic Empire....
Marcia Lou Griffin, the ex-wife of George Lucas, has brought fair critiques of the handling of the Star Wars universe by the current team of writers. She thinks the current people are wonderful as human beings, but when it comes to the story choices, she thinks they could’ve made better decisions for the Star Wars storyline. Her critiques come from the recently released book titled Howard Kazanjian: A Producer’s Life, which is written by J....
Lucasfilm’s latest Star Wars series, The Book of Boba Fett, has received a mixed response from critics and fans. The show had pacing issues, its storytelling was disjointed and unfocused, and it turned into a whole other series for a couple of episodes in the middle. After the finale episode struggled to pull it all together with an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink Battle of Tatooine, The Book of Boba Fett has left a bad taste in some fans’ mouths....
For many, discussing race brings up issues they’ve never really thought about and aren’t necessarily willing to confront since it’s never been a problem for them before. For others, it reiterates issues they’ve been experiencing their entire lives, and yet they get uneasy at bringing them up since some people from group A refuse to acknowledge them. This is part of why, when the late, great Carl Sagan decided to address such an important subject while discussing Star Wars on a 1978 episode of Johnny Carson’s show, the audience had no idea how to react....

By the time players have defeated the Fused Elemental, they should be just about ready to power through the A Familiar Place main story mission and arrive at the Chimera battle.

Very recently, Capcom held a summer update livestream for Street Fighter 5. The main focus was on the next two DLC characters for the game, Oro from the Street Fighter 3 games and guest star Akira from Rival Schools (another Capcom fighting game series), but things ended with a surprise first look at the final DLC character who, up until this point, had been a complete mystery. After months of theorizing who it could be, a popular returning character, a crossover guest star like a King of Fighters character (which would also serve as cross promotion for King of Fighters 15), or a brand new face entirely, it turns out it’s the third one....

In the last 20 years, films about superheroes have gone from anomalies to outright saturating box offices. Thanks to their massive success, it’s hard to go a year or even six months without an offering from Marvel or DC. Over two decades and across dozens of films, the way superhero stories are told has shapeshifted. Where the narrative was once locked in as a tale of good vs. evil where justice always prevails, now can be almost anything — from bombastic blockbusters with set pieces to smaller projects focused on character study....

Putting together a new development team and releasing a new IP is a real challenge, now more than ever, but it seems like Krafton’s investors didn’t care about such hardships, as the publisher’s stock went down due to The Callisto Protocol’s Metacritic score. As reported by Serkan Toto on Twitter, Krafton’s stock went down by 8.41% in Seoul today, the day the publisher’s survival horror game launched worldwide, and reviews went live for a mid-70s Metacritic score, a score that was deemed too low by investors who expected The Callisto Protocol to become another smashing success for the company that released PUBG....
It’s no secret that Warner Bros wishes the DCEU was more successful. The film universe launched in 2013 with Man of Steel. By that point Marvel had already perfected a system for producing interconnected superhero films on a regular basis. WB knew they were playing catch up, so they rushed headlong into Batman v Superman and Justice League. The results have been less than ideal. The best DCEU films so far have had very little to do with the “EU....
