Solo Trailer Breakdown – Details You Might Have Missed
Han, Chewie and Lando are back alongside a larger focus on new faces in the latest trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story, so IGN got a ragtag crew together to break down all the details frame by frame.
There’s a lot to get excited about, so watch the full breakdown in the video above or scroll through the slideshow below for our personal highlights.
That’s everything we found in the new Solo trailer. But there's more where that came from...
Where will Solo debut? At Cannes! Solo's major reshoots reportedly used the same script! And finally, here's why Donald Glover thinks Solo is like a "fun, Summer film!"
Revisiting Night in the Woods as an Allegory for the Millennial Condition
It's not often that you stare into the deep well of video games and find your own reflection staring back at you, but the first time I played Night in the Woods, I saw myself in Mae Borowski's nightmare eyes. From her snarky cynicism to her steadfast rejection of the world, I saw flaws in Mae that mirrored my own, but on a much larger scale, mirrored the overall sense of nihilism and defeat that characterises the millennial worldview. Mae, to me, became a representation of a generation of silenced voices, and of uncertain futures.
Ostensibly, Night in the Woods is a game about the intriguingly odd Mae Borowski returning to her hometown of Possum Springs after dropping out of college, but beneath its charming surface, it represents all the horrors of the postmodern millennial condition. It is a game unafraid of exploring the context of the world in which it takes place, drawing parallels between Mae's circumstances, and the financial and emotional struggles of the current generation of young people.
New Solo Poster Strikes a Familiar Pose
LucasFilm has unleashed a new theatrical poster for Solo: A Star Wars Story, in tandem with the latest Solo trailer.
The poster features star Alden Ehrenreich in a pose that should be extremely familiar to Star Wars fans, flanked by Solo’s high-profile supporting cast, including Donald Glover, Emilia Clarke, and Woody Harrelson.

This artwork of Ehrenreich as Han Solo was previously glimpsed as part of a set of one-sheets based on several Solo characters. Those posters, however, were hit with plagiarism claims early last month. According to Disney those posters were created by “an outside vendor” and it was investigating the issue.

Game of Thrones S8 Features Battle That Took 55 Nights to Shoot
The final season of Game of Thrones will feature a battle the likes of which TV has never seen before. Sure, there's been the Battle of the Bastards and the Loot Train Ambush, but all of those sequences will pale in comparison to what awaits fans when Season 8 premieres in 2019.
According to Watchers on the Wall, the cast and crew just wrapped a 55 consecutive night shoot of a massive battle. That length of time more than doubles the amount of time it took to film their previous large-scale action scenes.

PUBG Miramar Map Gets Release Month for Xbox One

Why NXT TakeOver: New Orleans Might Overshadow WrestleMania 34
It's a foregone inevitability these days that NXT: TakeOvers will leave fans saying "Wow, good luck topping that...WWE Sunday Night PPV." Ever since TakeOvers became a regular thing before WWE's Big Four PPV events, they've been the shorter, better-paced, better-booked shows. And TakeOver: New Orleans was no exception. It left viewers wondering how WrestleMania 34 could ever top the thrills and chills it provided.
Now, no one's saying WrestleMania 34 won't have great matches or truly exceptional moments. There are plenty of bouts to look forward to, along with the hotly-anitipated return to the ring by Daniel Bryan. It's going to be seven hours long though. That the two hour pre-show, which will contain two big Battle Royals and the Cruiserweight match, and then a five-hour main show. WrestleMania definitely plays the quantity game. Not just in length, but everyone on the two-brand roster (save for possible a few stragglers) will be on the show. It's not just focused on the most important stories. Everyone gets a seat at the table.
