Starbucks Employee Sparks Conversation About Workers Wage Gaps In Viral Video

As noted by Shopfood.com, Starbucks licenses its brand name and products to Target, allowing shoppers to experience the coffee chain in-store.

Stardew Valley Why Players Should Consider Marrying Penny

There are 12 marriage candidates in Stardew Valley, six bachelors and six bachelorettes. While each relationship is identical mechanically, they all bring the player into contact with different personalities and stories that flesh out the world.

Star Wars Rise Of Skywalker Post Credits Scene Is There A Scene After The Credits

However, fans should not bother waiting, as there is no after-credit scene in Star Wars Episode IX.

The biggest Star Wars fans, however, may not be surprised by this news, as none of the other films in the franchise have had scenes after the credits started rolling, so there was no reason that The Rise of Skywalker would be an exception....

Gilroy recently spoke about the topic in an interview, finally offering some insight as to why a Star Wars show set in a galaxy far, far away seems to focus entirely on humans. Maybe it’s to avoid drawing attention away from dramatic elements like Syril Karn’s (Kyle Soller) vicious obsession with Cassian Andor (Diego Luna). Or perhaps it really does have something to do with not having the means to design and outfit so many alien characters....

The Jedi: Fallen Order sequel will likely build on the areas that the original excelled in, but its strengths will most likely come from external sources....
