Star Wars: C-3PO Actor Anthony Daniels Open to Another Taking on Role
Star Wars veteran Anthony Daniels has admitted that he would "accept" another actor stepping into his iconic character's gold-plated shoes beyond the release of The Rise of Skywalker.
The C-3PO star seemingly laid his parts on the line in a recent interview with Radio Times, as he opened up about the possibility of his role moving forward without him, insisting that the galaxy's beloved protocol droid is "too good of character, too big of a character" to fade into history.

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts Preview: Aiming To Be The Ultimate Sniper Sim
It seems weird to me that after about 20 years of military shooters, so few of them really focus on sniping. Plenty of movies have highlighted snipers as lethal and heroic soldiers, but very few game franchises go through the effort -- with one of those few staples being Sniper Ghost Warrior. While Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 was a major departure for the franchise by expanding things into an open-world setting, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts scales things back to a mission-based format once again.
In Contracts, out on November 22 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, you’ll complete 25 different jobs spread across five sprawling maps that act as mid-sized self-contained sandboxes. The preview build I played only had two missions available, so it’s hard to get a feel for how things will wind up at launch, but it seemed to strike a good balance between open-ended levels where you forge your own path alongside more traditional targeted, specific objectives. So it’s less about being let loose in a massive open world and figuring out where to go and what to do and more about tracking and eliminating targets on the other end of dense bases and battlefields.
Dark Souls Modders Discover How To Import Custom Maps Into The Original Game
Dark Souls has been out for eight years, but modders are still discovering new ways to beef up the original code. The latest find allows players to import custom maps into the game.
Until now, that had been a tricky task. For the longest time, modders have been grappling with issues caused by the file formats used in collision detection. Since collision detection is basically the physics-based technology that makes an in-game object seem solid, it's vital for a functioning map - or you end up with characters walking through walls.
As one modder, Katalash, explained on Reddit, collision file data in Dark Souls games are squirreled away in a proprietary file format (called Havok) which is difficult to access. To get around it, the modders used old Havok Content Tools to make a new template that could be imported in to Dark Souls maps.
The Eternals Set Reportedly Evacuated After Unexploded Bomb Discovery
The cast and crew of Marvel's The Eternals were reportedly forced to halt production after an unexploded bomb was discovered close to their shooting location on the Canary Island of Fuerteventura.
The Sun reports that Angelina Jolie and Richard Madden, who star as Thena and Ikaris in the film, were amongst those hauled away from the set, as bomb disposal experts were called in to disarm the device, thought to be a remnant armament from a Nazi base.
