First surfaced by Polygon, advance copies of The Art of Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker, an art book for the film, feature some impressive-looking concepts, including one for the Oracle, a massive creature that almost made it into the film. The Oracle took many forms throughout various concept designs, though JJ Abrams, the film’s director, eventually decided on a lumpy, bug-eyed creature with six legs and webbed feet.

One thing that some people didn’t anticipate with Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the amount of inspiration it seems to be giving its players, fueling their creativity.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is adopting a new philosophy towards gear progression in the upcoming Legacy of the Sith expansion. It wants to let players get the gear they need to do the content they want and to allow gear to grow in strength as players do. With Legacy of the Sith, RNG will be completely eliminated from the equation: bosses will all now drop either currency used to buy gear upgrades or an item that gives a character’s weakest piece of equipment a power boost....

The Sith Order is behind the Empire, which means every Star Wars project shares the same small group of antagonists. Even when the story flips the script, the Sith remain the bad guy in the shadows. Countless years before the earliest canonical event in the franchise, the forces of darkness selected their emissary and began the war on everyone.

For now, the season is on pause. Yes, there’s been talk about what will happen if and when hockey returns to close out the 2019-20 season over the summer — from a 24-team playoff to teams getting in by percentage points to finishing out the regular season first. Whether or not that comes to fruition is still a guessing game. What we do know is that if the NHL standings on March 12, when everything came to a screeching halt, had indeed been the final standings, oh, what a postseason it could have been....

One of the first divisive points is that this show is formulaically unlike what came before it, primarily in its veering away from being largely anthology. In all the other shows, it was common that whatever affected the ship or the crew one episode would have been swept under the rug and forgotten by the next. Each episode was self-contained, and the writers essentially hit a big reset button between each....

At first glance, these weapons seem fairly simple in their application. They can stun an opponent in defense, or on the rare occasion, kill. However, they are interesting as they are far more multipurpose than they appear. Over the years, they have become somewhat of a Starfleet officer’s multi tool. They can not only incapacitate enemies, but the technology is also used for a variety of purposes. They are able to melt metals together, heat things up, and even create artwork: burning marks onto canvas with precision....
