Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker director J.J. Abrams has revealed the moment from Star Wars: The Force Awakens – his first movie in a galaxy far, far away – that he wished he had “done better.” It’s also a scene that many fans at the time picked out as being out of step with a certain character, so it’s interesting to hear Abrams be so reflective about it. It seemed odd then, and it still seems odd now. Still, at least Abrams is suitably reflective ahead of Rise of Skywalker’s release. Get read

Star Trek: Picard hasn’t even debuted yet, but CBS already wants more. The second season has already received $20.45 million in California tax incentives, the most any small screen project has ever received. Yup, that means Star Trek: Picard will give us Commander William T. Riker (Jonathan Frakes), Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan), Data (Brent Spiner), and perhaps some other iconic cameos. At the Star Trek: Picard panel at New York Comic Con 2019, executive producer Heather Kadin said, “We only brough

Wattam director Keita Takahashi has told GamesRadar+ how Wattam’s ending came about and how the stories ending is inspired by the need to “talk more nicely, without fighting”. So I wanted something to make the player think about their life, or something that will make the player think about Wattam more deeply.” That is kind of the thing we need to move forward in the future, especially after the next United States presidential election.” Even Democrats in the next election are thinking, ‘How do

PlanetSide Arena only released in Early Access on September 19, 2019, but Daybreak Games has already decided it’s time to pull the plug on the ambitious sci-fi arena shooter, stating low player numbers “make it impossible to sustain the gameplay experience we envisioned”. “After careful consideration, we’ve made the difficult decision to shut down PlanetSide Arena servers,” said executive producer Andy Sites in a statement on Steam (thanks Blue via VG24/7 ). “As a result, PlanetSide Arena will f

Doctor Who – The Christmas Invasion(Image credit: BBC)The first Doctor Who Christmas special is also the first episode of David Tennant’s beloved tenure as the eponymous Doctor – need I say more? The moment in Peep Show’s Christmas Special where Jeremy pulls a ‘Christmas Joke’ on Mark, by pretending he forgot to get the turkey, is iconic. This introspection is something Community did often (and well), and helps avoid the suffocating sweetness that some Christmas specials serve up. Connor Sherida

Some new behind the scenes Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker footage has leaked, and with it is a tribute to Carrie Fischer that will probably make you cry.

The latest Pokemon Go leak suggests our greatest wish has finally come true – Party Hat Wurmple may be coming to the game.
