New Star Wars Toy Reveals Key Detail for Mandalorian Character
Potential light spoilers for The Mandalorian ahead.
During the Triple Force Friday preview, it was revealed that Gina Carano's character in The Mandalorian, Cara Dune, would be receiving a Funko Pop!. While that in itself is not that surprising, what was surprising was the Rebel Alliance Starbird tattoo that appears on her left cheek.
When we first learned about Cara Dune's past, it was announced that she was an ex-Rebel Alliance shock trooper who is having a tough time returning to civilian life after the Galactic Civil War came to an end.
The Last of Us Part 2 Director on How Dogs Fill Combat With Tough Choices
The Last of Us Part 2 introduces several new mechanics and ideas to its combat system, perhaps most notably the inclusion of vicious attack dogs who have no qualms about hunting down Ellie. The question, for the player, then becomes, will you kill these dogs to survive?
Speaking to IGN at a recent The Last of Us Part 2 hands-on event, creative director Neil Druckmann told IGN about how the dogs add another level of morally difficult choice to combat.
"Dogs are...interesting in that…it feels pretty messed up to kill a dog, especially when you hear it yelp," Druckmann said. "You’re left with this situation where, ‘OK do I want to ghost this whole setup,’ which, you don’t have to kill a single dog in this scenario
Creepshow Flashback: The Best (and Worst) of the ’80s Horror Movies
With the '80s Creepshow horror anthology movie franchise being revived as a series by The Walking Dead's Greg Nicotero - premiering Thursday, September 26 on Shudder - it's the perfect time to revisit the two films in order to find out what made them such madcap macabre classics. (Read our review of Shudder's Creepshow premiere here.)
Firstly, what was Creepshow? How did it differ from other '80s-era scary story sagas like Tales From the Darkside and Tales From the Crypt? Well, to start with, all of these are based on the EC horror comics scene that rose up post-WW II and saw a huge boom in the '50s and '60s. Tales from the Crypt, complete with the CryptKeeper host character, was a comic book. An adaptation of Tales from the Crypt featuring a bunch of famous stars, directors, and producers became one of HBO's first original scripted series in 1989.

Every Spider-Man Movie Spin-Off in Development
Spider-Man is one of the few Marvel heroes with a supporting cast and rogues gallery wide enough to support an entire cinematic universe. And that's exactly what Sony is trying to launch. Now that Tom Holland's Spider-Man has apparently parted ways with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (for now?), Sony’s universe of Marvel Characters is drawing from all corners of the Spider-Man franchise in order to create new movies starring characters like Venom, Morbius and Black Cat.
We know that Sony has "seven or eight years" planned for the Spidey universe both on film and TV, which raises the question... what projects are actually happening? It's a lot to keep track of, so we've put together a handy guide breaking down every Spider-Man-centric movie currently in the works at Sony and how exactly these projects are meant to fit together. Check them all out below!
What Are Amazon’s New Echo Loop and Echo Frames?
Amazon showed off a slew of new, in-house products during its Seattle event yesterday. The usual suspects were shown off, most of which were improvements or slight tweaks to existing Amazon Echo devices. It also introduced some entirely new, exciting products like the Echo Buds wireless, Alexa-enabled ear buds, and a smart oven combining the convenience of a microwave and convection oven into one device.
The two stand-out "Day 1 Edition" announcements were for new wearables, an Alexa-enabled ring called Echo Loop and a pair of Alexa-enabled glasses frames called Echo Frames. Both are invite-only, meaning only certain Prime members who apply will get the chance to try out these Day 1 Edition devices. If you really want to, you can sign up for your own Echo Loop or Echo Frames and "have the opportunity to contribute feedback that informs future product ideas and development." The real question is: do you want to?
