Star Wars Rebels’ Season Finale is a Must See
Airing Wednesday night, the Star Wars Rebels Season 2 finale is, quite simply, huge.
I attended a screening for the finale earlier this week, and while I will save my full, spoiler-packed thoughts for my review (running Wednesday night, after the show’s east coast airing), I will stress this is a can’t miss episode, ending with a ton to ponder about what multiple events mean in the bigger Star Wars universe.

6 Questions We Have About DC Rebirth
DC gave comic book fans plenty of reason to be excited about the upcoming DC Rebirth relaunch this past weekend. Thanks to DC's WonderCon panel, we now know a lot more about about the books that will make up the relaunch and the creators involved in bringing them to life. Whether it's Tom King, David Finch and Mikel Janin on Batman or Greg Rucka, Liam Sharp and Nicola Scott on Wonder Woman, there's a lot to look forward to this summer.
But for all that DC has revealed so far, there are still a number of burning questions surrounding this relaunch and how the DCU as a whole will be affected.
Little by little, DC has begun appeasing readers who demand a return of he Pre-New 52 version of the DC Universe. One of the more significant examples of this trend is the fact that the Pre-New 52 versions of Superman and Lois Lane survived the events of Convergence and are now living quietly in the New 52 universe, raising their super-powered son and trying not to attract any unnecessary attention and while still quietly assisting the new Superman. That's been the focus of Dan Jurgens and Lee Weeks' Superman: Lois & Clark.

Adam Driver Talks Star Wars: Episode 8
Kylo Ren actor Adam Driver spoke about how excited he is to get back to the set of Star Wars for Episode VIII.
Talking with Entertainment Weekly, Driver spoke about Rian Johnson, the director taking over from J.J. Abrams for the next Star Wars movie. "Their temperaments are different,” Driver said. “I feel like there was so many moving pieces in the first one – just trying to solve it and set the vocabulary for what it was. There’s a lot of that anxiety is gone, because people have developed a language."
Driver continued. "I can’t wait to get on set, just because he’s so unassuming and intelligent and approachable. The script they’ve come up with is really great.”

Homefront’s Intriguing Story Masks Formulaic Gameplay
If there's one thing that Homefront: The Revolution is good at, it's delivering timely and relevant narrative themes. So many of the major forces impacting Western society today are positioned front and centre: computer hacking, clandestine surveillance, illegal conquest, economic collapse, terrorism, an overreliance on technology... it's all here and it's all used to tell a story of America conquered.
