How Dave Filoni’s Work on The Clone Wars Influenced The Mandalorian
All September long, IGN is highlighting the best TV coming your way in the 2019-2020 season. Today we're featuring The Mandalorian, Disney's first foray into a live-action Star Wars TV series, and one of the inaugural shows of the ambitious Disney+ streaming service launching on November 12. Created by Jon Favreau and set five years after the events of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, The Mandalorian follows the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic. We spoke to director and executive producer Dave Filoni about making his live-action directorial debut on the show, and what he learned from working on fan-favorite animated Star Wars series like The Clone Wars and Rebels that he applied to "Mando." Plus, get a first look inside The Mandalorian's ship, the Razor Crest, with our exclusive new photo, and see it in action in the trailer above.

Still not sure about the difference between a Bruxa and a Striga? With Netflix’s The Witcher approaching faster than a teleporting Roach, we thought we’d put together a quick primer on some common terms, all straight from the books the show is based on.
Read on for all the Witcher terminology you need to know before the show debuts!
Witcher
First up, the most important… Witchers, of which our hero Geralt is one, are alchemically enhanced humans with incredible speed and strength, heightened senses, accelerated healing, and an extended lifespan. Witchers make their living as supernatural mercenaries and monster hunters. They also look great taking a bath. They’re basically like the Marvel mutants of this world. Think medieval Wolverine, but with swords instead of claws.

Joker: Joaquin Phoenix on the DC Movie’s Makeup Design
You can watch Joaquin Phoenix’s comments on his Joker makeup in the video above or read what he had to tell us below.
Joaquin Phoenix wasn’t as involved in the development of his Joker’s clown makeup visage as you might think, but the actor did reveal his one big contribution to the character’s appearance during our recent interview in L.A.
Phoenix said director Todd Phillips sent him pictures where they had photoshopped the Joker makeup onto photos of Phoenix’s face from past films. This Joker’s clown face differs from past looks thanks to dashes of blue. The actor told Phillips the Joker look they had come up with was “amazing.”
“I thought
was brilliant to really base that look in reality, to base it off of a clown and this work that he does,” Phoenix said, calling it a “really interesting way” to approach the character’s look.

The Bradwell Conspiracy Hands-On Preview
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I sat down to play The Bradwell Conspiracy, given its publisher Bossa Studios is best known for goofy physics games like Surgeon Simulator and I Am Bread. But don’t let that history fool you - its next project is a clever and charming first-person puzzler that immediately had me comparing it to, yes, Portal.
Watch the video above for a look at new gameplay from The Bradwell Conspiracy.
The Bradwell Conspiracy (out later this year on PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and even Apple Arcade) drops you into the middle of a disaster of unknown origin at a not-at-all-suspicious museum/research facility built right next to Stonehenge. You get a pair of AI-powered smart glasses, a new friend helping you from the other end of an intercom, and a device that lets you absorb matter and reuse it to make other objects. From there the goal is to find a way out, though doing so is easier said than done.
