Some people believe this shows us Rey legitimately turning to the Dark Side, while others believe it’s not really “Rey” at all. The theory, as originally presented by the YouTube channel Star Wars Theory, claims that Rey is actually a clone. The belief is that she is a clone comprised of the DNA of some of the most powerful Force users in existence, which would go a long way in explaining why she has such immense power despite having little to no training....

Now, the sequel is all but officially confirmed by name to be in development. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2 is expected to be revealed at Star Wars Celebration near the end of this month, and many are curious about what’s next for Cal Kestis and gang. There are a ton of directions a new Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order game could go, but perhaps one thing it should do is dive even further into its Soulslike elements....

One of the things that many members of the industry noticed throughout Jedi: Fallen Order’s runtime is its obvious inspirations from many modern games that are popular today. However, the director of Jedi: Fallen Order, Stig Asmussen, recently revealed that the game almost brought back an old fan favorite cheat code from many classic video game titles: Big Head Mode.

Game director Stig Asmussen recently spoke with Game Informer regarding Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s Lightsaber combat. This is something the first game nailed but also something Respawn is improving in the second. During this conversation, Asmussen detailed the five lightsaber stances Cal will use throughout the game and confirms that Cal will have a Blaster in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. This had leaked online via a toy Cal Kestis with a blaster a couple of months ago, so it’s nice to have official confirmation....

Starbucks will now permit its workers to wear attire that expresses solidarity with the ongoing demonstrations nationwide that began after Floyd’s death last month in Minneapolis police custody. Additionally, the company will distribute T-shirts and pins for employees to show their support for the protesters. Although Starbucks has expressed on its website its support for Black Lives Matter, an internal note obtained by BuzzFeed News and circulated earlier this week said employees were prohibited from wearing anything that expressed sympathy for the movement....

RELATED: All Stardew Valley Controversies Explained There are 25 Secret Notes in Stardew Valley, all of which tell the player the favorite items of villagers, contain small illustrations, give them a neat little puzzle to do, and some even start mysterious quests. There are a number of ways to force Secret Notes to spawn, though most of them are luck-based. Updated on September 14, 2021, by Reyadh Rahaman: Quite a few of the quests in Stardew Valley are obscure and don’t often give a clear indication of what needs to be done in order to complete them....

He’ll reward the player handsomely if they can grant his wish — but what exactly does he want?...

Down 1-0 in the closing seconds of the second period, forward David Krejci made an unbelievable block on an open net to keep the deficit at one going into the second intermission. On the play in question, defenseman Torey Krug tried to clear the puck but whiffed on a pass and got tangled up with a Blues player in his own zone. Pat Maroon then corralled the puck and put a pass in front of the net to Alex Pietrangelo....

At the start of the playoffs, the pick here was Blackhawks over Lightning in six. Now that the matchup has come to pass, though, we’re getting pulled in two directions. The first: It’d be nice, for posterity’s sake, to be correct from the start. (Ignore the team Chicago was supposed to beat in the Western Conference final.)

This, in part, was inevitable. There are only so many stories one can tell about good guys versus oddly humanoid bad guys, each representing two distinct sides, before things get boring. Adding depth and betrayal, treason and spies in Starfleet, resulted in the much-needed diversity in storytelling the show needed. However, one such dark side of the Federation was much more subtle. From the very start, the Federation was supposed to embody peace and harmony throughout the galaxy, uniting cultures and species together as one....

It’s a fair assessment that season one of TNG was a bit of a disaster. This was due to various conflicts of interest between creator Gene Roddenberry and the rest of the writers, as well as an unfortunately timed writers strike that forced producers to use old or discarded material. Another problem was that the characters had not quite found themselves yet. While characters like Data and Picard stayed fairly true from beginning to end, others like those of Riker, the Klingon warrior Worf, and LaForge were not quite there yet....

To understand the Q, it’s important to get confusing terminology out of the way. The Q are a godlike race of highly advanced beings with power over time, space, and the fabric of reality itself, with the ability to alter it to their whim. They exist within the Q continuum, an extradimensional plane of existence. Q is also, confusingly, the name of each individual being within the Q continuum, the most notable Q being played by the enigmatically playful John de Lancie, but other actors have played other Q’s over the course of the franchise....

The first 2 episodes of Star Wars: Andor will air on ABC, FX, Freeform, and Hulu at numerous points throughout the holiday weekend. This is a surprise, to be sure. But it’s also a welcome one, as those who don’t subscribe to Disney Plus will now have a chance to check out the new series that many are calling the best show on TV right now. It won’t air at the same time on each platform, which is also helpful in case anybody misses it due to a particularly ambitious turkey coma....

The rumored reason for the delay stemmed around Quantic Dream allegedly having trouble with hiring staff to work on the project. Star Wars: Eclipse’s announcement trailer debuted at the 2021 Game Awards show, where the developers made it clear that the game was still in early development and would take years before it was ready to release.

But when KOTOR and its influence are brought up, its narrative elements tend to dominate the conversation. Everyone remembers memorable characters like HK-47 or Bastila Shan, and the game’s big twist is on par with the moment Darth Vader first revealed himself to be Luke’s father in The Empire Strikes Back. There’s a good reason behind KOTOR’s outstanding reputation: Its story is fantastic. Its gameplay has not held up quite as well....

But it could feature both Williams and Glover, and use the extended runtime of a TV miniseries to cover Lando’s entire life like a novel. The older Lando could be passing on the tales of his adventures to the first generation of children growing up in a peaceful universe in a post-Episode IX framing narrative. Alternatively, the series could be framed by “The Calrissian Chronicles,” the memoirs that Lando was seen recording throughout Solo....

Most fans recall that in Obi-Wan Kenobi’s final moments, he lowered his blade and allowed his former pupil to slay him in combat. After promising to become even more powerful, Obi-Wan is gone for some time before he reappears. Fans got to see Obi-Wan return, alongside fellow mentor Yoda and the man who killed him, as a blue-tinted spirit at the end of the film, with little explanation as to how....
