Games

I’m revisiting Stephen’s quick review of Scott Pilgrim EX because my physical copy from Limited Run Games will arrive on Sunday night, and I can’t wait to open it.

A significant Star Wars auction is happening at Goldin, and one item stands out: a prototype of Boba Fett with a rocket launcher, made by Kenner in 1979. This figure, featuring the ‘L-Slot’ rocket mechanism, was originally planned for release, but Kenner ultimately cancelled it due to safety issues.

The anime’s streaming home hasn’t been announced yet, but Crunchyroll is the most probable option. While an English version of the manga isn’t available, you can read the original Japanese manga online at Ura Sunday.

The Star Wars Puppetronics collection brings iconic characters to life with two ways to play. First, there’s the 17-inch Yoda Puppetronic by RealFX, which responds to your movements with 120 different sounds and actions. There are also smaller, handheld Palm Puppetronics – equally charming and packed with over 40 sounds and actions, also controlled by your movements. You’ll find details on each character and everything included in the line below.

Season 2 Will Continue Yona’s Journey

What’s Next

Okay, so I just finished Season 5, Episode 6 of The Boys, and honestly, things mostly reset. The biggest change? Homelander is even more powerful. Soldier Boy actually gave him some of his V1 compound, and that pretty much locks him in as the strongest supe, period. There are still a few heroes who might have a chance, but they’d have to rely on their specific abilities, not just try to outmuscle him – because that’s not happening.

Okay, so Slay the Spire 2 had some early complaints about updates, but now people are getting upset about something different. It turns out Anita Sarkeesian consulted on the game, and that’s causing a bit of a stir. We don’t actually know what she consulted on – it’s just listed in the credits. A lot of fans aren’t thrilled about it, and that’s what everyone’s talking about right now.

On May 8, 1995, the first part of the Wild West Rangers aired, introducing a new team of Power Rangers with a Wild West theme. The story begins when Kimberly travels back to 1880 and must assemble a new Ranger team – William, Rocko, Abraham, Miss Alicia, and the White Stranger – to prevent Goldar and his allies from erasing Angel Grove from history. As seen in the video, the Wild West Rangers have a uniquely striking appearance.

Look, as a lifelong Star Wars fan, any change always feels a little scary, but this feels extra intense. I think a lot of us were worried because Dave Filoni tends to really focus on the characters he created – like Ahsoka and Ezra – and we wondered if he’d prioritize those over expanding the existing Star Wars universe. Plus, there was concern about whether he’d stay true to what made Star Wars special in the first place. Those worries have really resurfaced lately, especially after his recent comments about Darth Vader and how he was portrayed in the Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord comic. It’s got a lot of fans raising their eyebrows, myself included.
