One thing that resonated throughout the franchise is their attention detail with culture, such as the vastly different cuisines found within the various different races. Among these, potentially none are so memorable and diverse as the Klingon cuisine. What wild and wonderful oddities these warmongering, forehead-ridged people enjoy so much? RELATED: Star Trek: Why Are The Mighty Klingons So Afraid Of Tribbles? There’s one thing that often defines these warring, aggressive balls of muscle, and acts as a strong parallel between them and the Viking culture they were based on: their consumption of alcohol....

While it might seem strange to put him ahead of people like the morally ambiguous Captain Sisko, who wears his trauma on his sleeve, Kirk has lived through some seriously depressing situations. To explore this trauma and how it makes him a great captain, it’s easiest to look at an episode “Requiem for Methuselah,” and the centuries old immortal human known as Flint. He was born on Earth in 3834 BC with a rare instant tissue regeneration mutation, the result of which led to his extraordinarily long life and an inability to die....

In true Westworld fashion, the moral ambiguity about whether these holographic projections are alive or not is at the philosophical heart of many episodes. Sentience within synthetic beings is a concept toyed with by Gene Roddenberry and the writers of Star Trek, focusing heavily on Data and his quest to become human, but they were also fascinated with how this could apply to holograms. Going chronologically from the time of release, the first instance of this within a hologram comes during season 2 of The Next Generation, where the ships head of engineering Geordi La Forge (played by the once promised, never given Jeopardy host LeVar Burton) accidentally gives the fictional Sherlock Holmes nemesis Moriarty enough computing power to become sentient, causing him to become self-aware to the extent that he gains control of the ship....

The third season will continue the exploits of Starfleet Captain Michael Burnham and her crew on the U.S.S. Discovery. Star Trek Discovery had a couple of franchise staples make an appearance in season 2 with Captain Christopher Pike showing up with the Enterprise and a storyline involving Spock. A first-look trailer and additional details of the third season were released at San Diego Comic-Con last year. What we know about the season so far is that special guest David Ajal will join the crew and play Cleveland Booker....

The latest effort that Disney has put forth is the early release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The latest Star Wars film is now available to purchase via digital platforms ahead of schedule. RELATED: Star Wars Battlefront 2 Trailer Reveals Rise of Skywalker Content Unfortunately, Disney doesn’t appear to have bumped up the physical edition release date of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

RELATED: 10 Best Light Side Characters In Star Wars: Galaxy Of Heroes There have been many Star Wars games over the years - some of which have been very successful. They’ve varied in genre and content, yet many of them have introduced several fantastic characters. Some of these people went on to become fixtures of Star Wars Legends (aka the expanded universe), whereas others deserve to be featured more. Either way, here are some of the best ones....

It turns out that season 2 of Star Wars: Visions may be closer than expected, at least if a certain rumor does its required heavy lifting. A Star Wars insider now claims that the next batch of episodes is set to release sometime in 2022, and has actually been in steady development since the first season ended. If the claims can be trusted, then that’s one more nugget of fun for Star Wars fans in 2022, aside from the soon-to-be-released Obi-Wan Kenobi as well as season 3 of The Mandalorian....

The info comes by way of the official Battlefront 2 website and reveals that EA and Origin Access members will be able to begin playing on November 9, well ahead of the global November 17 release date. This isn’t surprising considering 2015’s Star Wars: Battlefront allowed early access five days ahead of the release date for EA and Origin Access members. We’ll quickly note that like most other EA early access titles, Battlefront 2 will only be playable for 10 hours during the early access time period....

Additionally, the Battlefront Companion app contains a fun little mini-game called Base Command. Essentially, it’s modeled after tower defense titles’ gameplay, but it’s also coupled with elements found in card games. The main goal of Base Command is for players to survive waves of Imperial Troops while protecting Rebel Bases located in the center of the map. And much like Star Wars Battlefront itself, fans can choose Star Cards to represent weapons, power-ups, vehicles, and a whole lot more....

After Cal Kestis’ original journey, there’s no doubt fans have high expectations for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2. It could be the best game to end EA’s exclusive Star Wars contract with, even though EA won’t stop making them either. There’s been a lot of questions about it lately, though, as EA Play was recently canceled.

If players are unwilling to explore every inch of a planet in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, its Metroidvania level designs are inconsequential and will likely only be used to determine which direction the critical path is. But for players who enjoy exploration, collectibles, and finding secrets, this Metroidvania level design is perfect. Because Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has now been revealed, it would be great to see Fallen Order’s Metroidvania level design return....

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy utilizes third and first-person gameplay and on top of a campaign also has online matchmaking. While other Star Wars games are coming to the Switch, many will hope that older players bypassing the matchmaking protocol so that it pits vastly more experienced players against newcomers are contained to this title. There have already been several calls for the developer, Aspyr Media, to fix the issue....

The barista shared the extra-long order ticket for a customer named Rachel, from July 3, 2021, to their Twitter @ArtemisiaVoid. Luckily for Rachel, the order was placed via Uber, meaning she could avoid the shame of ordering of the syrup-filled drink in person. In response to a tweet criticizing “paragraph sized” Starbucks orders, the barista described that they “have the perfect image of the worst order I ever received while working at Starbucks....

An exclusive clipfrom the upcoming episode “Much Ado About Boimler” (up above), provided to Newsweek, follows the ambitious but bungling young officer as he drops in on engineering ensign Sam Rutherford (Eugene Cordero), eager for advice on how to “look more promotable” in front of a visiting crew. But Rutherford is distracted with his efforts to slightly improve the efficiency of the ship’s teleporting transporters. Luckily, Boimler, always angling for a new item on his resume, is happy to serve as a guinea pig....

Opening in 2385, 14 years before the show’s present and just after the Utopia Planitia Shipyards were destroyed by synthetics, “The End is the Beginning” fleshes out what was before mostly insinuated. While Picard is still bitter about Starfleet ending rescue operations to pull people from the radius of the approaching supernova, the destruction of the rescue armada on Mars represented a substantial material impediment. In the opening of Episode 3, we join Picard after an uncomfortable conversation with Starfleet’s top brass, where it becomes clear contempt for Romulans, political cowardice and isolationist retrenchment overshadowed any practical reasons to end the rescue operation....

Yet a little more light may have been cast on the title from “far, far away,” as Polish retailer Empik has somehow captured what appears to be the first image of Star Wars: The Old Republic’s box art, along with information on some pre-order goodies – specifically, “a color stone to change your weapon effect.” Massively was able to snag a picture before the listing was taken down. This supposed information comes at a good time, since BioWare is set to make a pretty hefty announcement at Comic-Con, in addition to releasing new game footage, allowing playable floor demos, and participating in a Q&A session with fans....

The first thing you will notice about this unboxing video is the sweeping score that accompanies it. It might not sound much like John Williams’ classic themes from the movies, but the grandeur of it should indicate that the inclusion of the game’s soundtrack will be an aural treat. As for the box, this thing might be even more enormous than the picture made it look. A few things stick out now that this video has shown off a more detailed look at the package....
