Rosario Dawson's Reaction To Ahsoka Tano in 'The Mandalorian'
Friday’s episode of The Mandalorian did not give fans any waiting time to see Rosario Dawson’s debut as Ahsoka Tano. Only a few minutes into the episode, and then boom, Ahsoka is on screen with her two white lightsabers in a scene that is so artistically beautiful and calls back to the Jedi fights in the movies.

Trek's Hottest: Crusher Vs. Troi
Hi, and welcome back to The Great Debates where I settle pop culture's biggest scores. Guys, ready the wolf whistles! Even though Deep Space Nine will always be my favorite show in the Star Trek franchise, The Next Generation still holds a lot of appeal. Picard (Patrick Stewart) became a legendary Captain to match Kirk (William Shatner); Data (Brent Spiner) and Geordi (LeVar Burton) still are two of TV's most lovable geeks; and the Borg are still one of the most frightening and popular alien races in sci-fi history. However, as I was in adolescence during the show's original run, naturally my attention turned to ladies, and The Next Generation had two of the most appealing women in the whole franchise. Those were the ship's doctor Beverly Crusher, played by the amazing (and amazingly talented) Gates McFadden, and the ship's counselor Deanna Troi, played by the scintillating and fiery Marina Sirtis. While the rest of the franchise had no shortage of appealing ladies [in fact, my personal favorite is Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor) from DS9], Beverly and Deanna stick out in a lot of young minds from the time to the point that they get debated almost as much as Kirk and Picard.

Star Wars: Tales from Galaxy's Edge Gameplay Review
As of today, we now have several Star Wars titles that allow us to take part in that galaxy so far, far away. Vader Immortal is the more straightforward adventure title, putting you into the shoes of a character and experiencing more of an interactive movie experience. Star Wars Squadrons puts you in the cockpit of your favorite New Republic or Imperial ships to live out your dreams of dodging laser blasts and taking down Star Destroyers. And now in the latest title, Star Wars Tales From Galaxy's Edge, we're given a more open experience to explore. Not quite the open world I was expecting but more freedom than the aforementioned Vader Immortal.

Reborn
"I need a theory, there has to be a theory behind my adventures. They mean something, I know they do." The light from outside the bedroom crept through the crack under the door and shone onto the bed where young Michael, a high schooler of eighteen and the son of two farmers was lying, awake. He had been revising his reincarnations over and over again. Counting this one to be at least the ninety-fourth time he had died and come back to life, he lay there with thoughts running wild in his head.

Chapter 5 - Raze
Chapter 5 - Hex 2 The atmosphere within the Magma changes once the brawl has been broken up. At first, I expect it is just a result of fading excitement, but then the first men begin to rise. A strong, quiet type sitting by Aduren peers subtly out the tavern’s two front windows. He does not seem the kind of man to suck up to a brash idiot who has dubbed himself a hero. No, by this time in his perhaps thirty years of life he will have decided himself above the foolishness of childish legend. Both men disgust me.

The Real Reason Baby Yoda's Name Is Not "Baby Yoda" In 'The Mandalorian'
In this day and age, it's hard to find someone who hasn't heard the name Baby Yoda. More than likely, you're going to get a rather positive reaction to the little green alien when you mention the name. Those who aren't as familiar with The Mandalorian as the more dedicated Star Wars fans are will be surprised to never hear the name once at all, it won't even be printed on any merchandise. Many fans are already aware of the discrepancy and why it's there, but if you were wondering why he's not called Baby Yoda, then you won't have that question any longer.
