Why The End of Rey and Kylo Ren’s Story Is So Disappointing
Warning: full spoilers ahead for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker!
With the Star Wars sequel trilogy now concluded with The Rise of Skywalker, fans everywhere now know how Rey and Kylo Ren’s story comes to a close. Those who have long shipped "Reylo" and yearned to see "Bendemption" finally saw it happen, but the film doesn't quite do the work to earn those moments, and forcing these issues highlights how profound the thematic disconnect between TROS and its predecessors. What started out as a compelling dynamic between protagonist and antagonist in the The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi was unfortunately derailed in the last act, delivering an unsatisfying conclusion to Rey and Kylo Ren's relationship.

Witcher Mod Adds ‘Toss a Coin to Your Witcher’ to the Game
A Witcher modder has added the song ‘Toss A Coin To Your Witcher’ from the Netflix series to the original game.
As USgamer reports, Nexusmods user hub997 has turned the catchy ballad as performed by Jaskier, aka Dandelion, in The Witcher TV series into a cutscene that you can watch from within CD Projekt Red’s 2007 RPG.
Once the mod is added to the game, you can see Dandelion perform it in front of a crowd inside The New Narakort Inn, found in Vizima. Subtitles appear with the lyrics so you can sing along if you wish. If you have no means of playing the PC-only game you can watch the whole cutscene on YouTube.
