Yesterday we had the opportunity to tour around Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, briefly exploring Black Spire Outpost on planet Batuu in between chatting with Walt Disney Imagineering Producer Rachel Sherbill about the ambitious new land and its grand opening this week. Sherbill oversees the development of the “Living Land” element to Galaxy’s Edge, helping make the park feel as detailed, lived in, and authentic to Star Wars as possible so guests can live out the dream of being their own character in this universe....

Game Of Thrones went down in history as one of the all-time greatest television shows, and while the ending was certainly controversial, that didn’t take away from the amazing storytelling that took place throughout the rest of the series. While the show was heavily praised for its action, stunning special effects and the fact it was willing to take chances, one of the big reasons it was so popular was because the pure emotion that ran through it....

Cersei Lannister certainly could have chosen a better love interest than her twin brother, Jaime. The incestuous relationship between the Lannister twins shocked fans from the first episode of Game Of Thrones. Their unhealthy relationship resulted in the War of the Five Kings and the near extinction of House Lannister. Cersei was a toxic influence in Jaime’s life. She encouraged the Kingslayer to be the worst version of himself and demanded loyalty from her brother that she wasn’t willing to reciprocate....

[The following contains SPOILERS for Game of Thrones Season 7, Episode 7.] - Jaime Lannister is officially disgusted with his sister Cersei for her selfish behavior, actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau says in the wake of Sunday night’s dramatic season 7 finale of Game of Thrones.

Sansa Stark has grown to become one of the most popular characters in Game of Thrones. While the character was originally disliked, by design, due to the fact that she was a Stark who wished beyond anything else to become a princess and marry a prince. This wish led her to try and become close with the Lannisters in order to marry Prince Joffrey, however, Joffrey would not be a Prince Charming....

GameStop’s stock has continued to plummet after an especially arduous holiday season. Once upon a time, GameStop was a mammoth store-front game distributor, but in the face of digital sales and streaming, its business model has become somewhat obsolete. Just recently, industry insiders predicted the imminent death of GameStop, which seems to be coming sooner rather than later. The stock descent for GameStop began back in 2015, which correlated to a rise in digital sales through online distributors....

A big theme of Star Wars Celebration 2017 this week in Orlando, Florida, was looking back on how we got here and what Lucasfilm is today after 40 years of success and growth. Remembering those who are no longer with us, paying tribute to four decades of Star Wars, and looking deeper behind-the-scenes of last years’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story were all subjects of their own panels at the convention....

While criticized by many for its arguably too simple comedic plotlines and its reliance on overly sentimental resolutions to those plotlines, there’s no doubt that Full House remains one of the most well-remembered sitcoms of the 1990s. Extremely popular at the time of its original run, Full House has only grown its fanbase in the decades since its final episode, via endless reruns on cable and easy availability of the complete run of the series on DVD and digital platforms....

Here’s how the ending of anime movie Gantz: O plays out. Gantz is based on the best-selling manga by Hiroya Oku. The initial premise of the manga follows two characters who die in a train accident, only to awaken in a room with strangers and a mysterious black orb dubbed Gantz. They’re all forced to play a game where they have to hunt down and kill dangerous alien targets selected by Gantz, and for every successful mission they earn points; players who earn 100 points have the option of going free....

With earnings coming tomorrow, analysts are focusing on Apple Watch reception as it will be the first time Watch sales are included in Apple’s financial results. Apple won’t be reporting Apple Watch sales numbers but that doesn’t stop investors from guessing the figure. In a note, Gene Munster says that Apple has sold 3 million units in the quarter. This is slightly below KGI’s estimate which quoted 3.9 million Apple Watch device sales....

Becoming Chandler Bing, the advertising executive, nurturing a successful marriage with Monica, father to two twins wasn’t an easy journey. It took a lot of resilience to get there. It also took sarcasm, arrogance, and wit. Everyone loves Chandler, don’t get us wrong. He’s one of the pivotal characters of the show. But we can’t forgive him or some crimes such as never watching Joey’s audition tape, mocking his friends, and the treatment of his father....

The filmmakers behind Frozen 2 are finally opening up about whether or not a third installment in the Frozen franchise is in the cards. Six years ago, Frozen took the world by storm when it debuted in theaters around the world. The film went on to make $400.2 million domestically and took in a grand total of $1.2 billion at the worldwide box office. The monumental success of the film was a sure sign that a sequel would be made, and now it’s officially out in the world....

WARNING: Spoilers for Infinity Countdown #3 — The latest issue of Infinity Countdown ends on a cliffhanger as the Silver Surfer goes to Galactus the Lifebringer, requesting he return to his former role… and destroy a world. —specifically, Planet Ultron. As the Marvel Comics Universe heads towards an Infinity Wars event, the limited series Infinity Countdown is tracing the changing hands of the powerful Infinity Stones. One of the biggest shockers of the event was the return of the Hank Pym version of Ultron, who killed Magus and took the Soul Stone for himself....

Game of Thrones is now well into its eighth and final season, and the surviving cast of characters has evolved tremendously since the series premiered way back in 2011. Daenerys is now a fierce, unflinching conqueror, Jon Snow is the death-defying heir to the Iron Throne, and Arya is doing grown-up things with Gendry. But perhaps the character that’s seen the most personal growth is Sansa Stark. Once a soft-spoken admirer of gallant knights and knitting-enthusiast, the Lady of Winterfell now goes toe-to-toe in verbal jousts with everyone from Jaime Lannister to Daenerys Targaryan, who we needn’t remind you has two fire-breathing dragons at her command....

The world of Game of Thrones is a dangerous place, to say the least. You can just look at the long list of dead characters to see how true that is. Given the medieval nature of the world, most of the violence is dealt through weapons like swords and axes. However, there’s a lot more going on in this world and sometimes the classic weapons just aren’t enough. We’ve seen some creative weaponry in the show, but George R....

Game of Thrones season 8 may see Sam Tarly and Gendry discover the means of forging new Valyrian steel, crafting from it weapons to use in battle against the Night King and his army of the dead. There hasn’t been any Valyrian steel created in centuries, not since The Doom destroyed that ancient civilization, but Sam does have a book detailing weapons that can harm the undead. With the final season of Game of Thrones fast approaching, it’s anyone’s guess just how the epic series will conclude....

When the FBI discovers potential criminal activity, they issue an “Emerging Intelligence Report.” One recent report looks at a new form of health insurance fraud that uses cardiovascular genetic tests as a basis for the scam. What are healthcare fraud and abuse? Before jumping into the latest discovery of healthcare fraud by the FBI the question must be asked, what is healthcare fraud? Healthcare fraud is committed by many people, including healthcare providers, patients and professional scammers....

Friends is still one of our all-time favorite sitcoms, and we most definitely have our favorite (and least favorite) characters. We’ll all pretty well-reversed in all things Joey, Rachel, Ross, and the rest of the gang, right? We also all have our favorite quotes and sayings, but have you ever wondered which quotes are best in-keeping with their character? Well, we were, so we made a list of all of the main characters and one quote that sums up their personality....

Friends and Parks & Recreation could be part of the same universe, as a connection between Rachel Green and Ben Wyatt suggests so. Films and TV shows existing in the same universe is a common practice nowadays, although a somewhat recent one. Characters jumping back and forth between series (or films) don’t surprise viewers anymore, but it’s not something that was seen in series like Parks & Recreation, let alone Friends, which came out much earlier....
