During her recent interview with Deadline, outgoing Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy shared updates on several Star Wars films currently in the works.

Lavalamp is a new, free-to-play PC game that offers a unique and psychedelic experience. You’ll explore a bizarre world and uncover the story of the Space Lemmings, who accidentally got trapped between dimensions while conducting experiments with breakfast cereal and the fabric of space and time.

Okay, so everyone’s been wondering about a new Smash game, but it’s been super quiet. Sakurai, the guy who led the series for so long, has stepped back, and Nintendo hasn’t announced anything new.

Expeditions in the game currently aren’t very engaging. Instead of feeling like important missions, they come across as repetitive tasks that don’t give players a strong reason to keep playing. Players are quickly losing interest as they try to complete them, and the developers have already acknowledged the system isn’t working as intended and needs improvement. While Expeditions are meant to be a key feature that keeps players coming back to Arc Raiders, they’re currently a source of frustration rather than excitement.

After years of fans hoping they’d get together, Scott Summers and Jean Grey finally got married in X-Men Vol. 2 #30 on January 18, 1994. These two characters first appeared in Uncanny X-Men and were often seen as a destined couple by creators like Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. But their relationship faced many obstacles – Jean’s death, Scott’s marriage to a clone of her named Madelyne Pryor, and even having a child together – making a wedding seem impossible. That all changed 32 years ago when they finally said ‘I do’.

Lots of superhero shows have been cancelled over time. We’ve talked about some that deserve a second chance, but there are actually many more! The genre is full of good shows that ended too soon, and could be successfully revived because their stories weren’t fully explored.
