The recent "Jedi" video games, "Fallen Order" and "Survivor," are the best "Star Wars" games in almost 20 years, giving us phenomenal gameplay, impressive visuals, and the best lightsaber action mechanics since "Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy," getting us as close as we'll ever get to becoming a powerful Jedi.
The games also tell a fantastic standalone story of survival and resistance that still adds to the overall mythology of "Star Wars" in interesting ways. The games are set after the destruction of the Jedi Order and the fall of the Republic, in the Reign of the Empire era of the franchise that has been slowly but surely building up to becoming the best era of "Star Wars," as it allows for stories of rebellion featuring underdogs facing seemingly insurmountable odds.
"Jedi Survivor" picks up years after "Fallen Order," which pit Cal Kestis (Cameron Monaghan) against the Empire, Darth Vader,...

DC studios boss James Gunn hit out at a social media commenter who questioned the casting of Guardians of the Galaxy’s newest villain.
The director shared his excitement about Chukwudi Iwuji joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as The High Evolutionary on his Instagram Monday (6 March).
Nigerian-British actor Iwuji will play Rocket’s creator in the franchise’s third and final instalment, which is due to be released in cinemas 5 May.
“Can’t wait for you all to meet this guy. @chukwudi_iwuji #GotGVol3 #highevolutionary,” Gunn captioned his post alongside a photo of the actor in character.
Unfortunately, some people in Gunn’s comments questioned Iwuju’s casting due to his skin colour, despite the fact that the character is purple in the comics.
“Damnit… another white guy they made into a black guy,” one troll wrote. “Why couldn’t they just leave him white or i dont know…pick a different minority?...

Jewish horror certainly isn’t new. ‘The Dybbuk,’ a play by S. Ansky about the Jewish folkloric demon, was first performed in 1920. Since, there have been many stories of the mythological nightmare, from stage to screen and otherwise. The dybbuk is named for the word “to cleave” or “to cling,” referencing the demon’s way of latching onto a living body. It’s a soul of a dead person that takes up a living host, possessing them until it is able to accomplish its goal.
Unlike Christian demons we’re used to seeing in films, dybbuks aren’t cohorts of the devil, but souls of the dead who are unable or unwilling to move on due to unfinished business. Movies like The Unborn (2009), The Possession (2012), and Ezra (2017) used the dybbuk, but each fell into a common trap. We won’t spend time tackling the 2003 created “dybbuk box,” but suffice it...

The BBC reportedly received 199 complaints after Evan Davis allowed a guest on Radio 4’s Pm show to claim Jk Rowling was transphobic without “sufficient” challenge.
Stacey Henley, a transgender woman and editor-in-chief of The Gamer, appeared on the show to discuss the new video game Hogwarts Legacy earlier this month.
The Harry Potter author did not have any involvement in the concept or writing of the game, but will receive royalties from its sales.
During the conversation, Henley spoke about Rowling’s “nasty views” and accused her of pushing “transphobia” and a “campaign against trans people”.
The author has faced a sustained backlash in recent years for statements she’s made about gender ideology, which many critics and prominent voices in the LGBT+ community have described as “transphobic”. Rowling has repeatedly denied that she is transphobic.
The BBC, which “must remain duly impartial” per its own guidelines, later apologised for the exchange,...

The following contains spoilers from The Flash‘s final season premiere.
The CW’s The Flash kicked off its farewell run with a time loop episode in which Barry learned not to live the rest of his and Iris’ life according to some spoiler-filled “map book” he had compiled, but to make decisions in the moment. As such, for example, we saw Iris turn down a sweet offer to be gobbled up by CatCo Media and instead declare her intent to expand Central City Citizen Media on her own terms.

Now, that's how you do a season finale.
Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin Season 1 could be considered a closed-ending story because the final three episodes truly delivered answers, shocks, and badass moments.
Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin Season 1 Episode 8, Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin Season 1 Episode 9, and Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin Season 1 Episode 10 will go down as the best hours in the history of the franchise.
While the original series was far more about the A reveals, the latest entry has been more about the struggles of the liars as they navigate a world that hasn't been good to them.
It has set the series apart from the others in the franchise, offering a fresh perspective, as opposed to the only mystery surrounding the identity of A.
The A reveal was handled very well. The franchise loves a good twin twist, and A being Archie, Angela's brother, was...
