Something is off. Elon Musk, the billionaire “technoking,” professional loudmouth, and geopolitical hobbyist, has gone silent. More than 48 hours after the United States bombed three Iranian nuclear sites — Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan — triggering fears of a wider war, the man who has a take on everything suddenly has none.

West End Games’ Classic ‘Star Wars’ RPG Is Still Setting the Blueprint for Its Universe

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2026-03-08 10:48:43

In the years since Lucasfilm overhauled Star Wars continuity—reclassifying years of Expanded Universe material as “Legends” before wiping a clean slate of continuity it has developed over the last decade-plus—much of what has been rebuilt has been done so off of the back of re-canonizing elements of that old material.
