Temuera Morrison Thinks ‘Star Wars’ Isn’t Done With Boba Fett Yet

Just when The Mandalorian brought him back and teased big things for him, Boba Fett got kind of a raw deal once his own show dropped. Disney’s not given it a second season or even so much as mentioned it, to the point just last year, star Temuera Morrison was unsure about his character’s future. But maybe things are at a point to where it could be his time once more? While promoting his current film Ka Whawhai Tonu (In The Fire of War), Collider asked Morrison what the deal was.

'Shark Week' Comes Early as 'Jaws' Turns 50. Here's Where to Watch All the Movies

Somehow, five decades have passed since Steven Spielberg's Jaws chewed up the big screen. Turning the big Five-Oh is a big deal, so it's time to celebrate. The iconic movie, based on Peter Benchley's novel of the same name, took style notes from Hitchcock and the grindhouse movies of the era and became the first-ever summer blockbuster. Jaws isn't a complicated movie: It tells the story of a vengeful shark and the tourist beach town of Amity Island, which it decided to terrorize. The movie sta

This AI Theory Is Sweeping the Internet. Here's What You Need to Know

This wild theory about the Internet is circulating again, and it all has to do with Shrimp Jesus. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s the infamous AI-generated Facebook image of Shrimp Jesus and other variations floating around the internet. That image first surfaced in March 2024 and appeared to be a meme at first glance. However, Shrimp Jesus was the jumping-off point for Facebook AI art slop. These consist of newly AI-generated memes sweeping the internet, such as the Challah Horse

Homebuyers Are Scoring 5% Mortgage Rates With These Simple Strategies

Tharon Green/CNET If you're looking to buy a home, you probably know that housing affordability is in the dumps. Record-high prices and high mortgage rates are serving a double whammy to prospective buyers everywhere. But mortgage rates aren't set in stone. Although current rates are hovering near 7%, more borrowers are finding creative ways to snag rates below what lenders advertise. Last year, nearly half of buyers purchased a home at a rate below 5%, according to Zillow. "With borrowing co

Cozy Horror Game Grave Seasons Is Stardew Valley Plagued by a Serial Killer

At Summer Game Fest, I tried a game that was bold enough to ask: Why doesn't Stardew Valley have more murder? Grave Seasons, due out next year, is a cozy farming sim with a morbid edge: It's about all the friends (and romantic partners) you make along the bloody way to stopping a serial killer. A little bit into the short demo of Grave Seasons, I took to the fields to clean up the run-down farm I'd broken into and decided to adopt, only to find a severed hand. It's fitting for an indie title pu

I Asked 5 Pro Chefs About Their Least Favorite Kitchen Tools. They Didn't Hold Back

Professional chefs know the value of space in a drawer or on a countertop better than anyone. Stroll through the swinging doors of any restaurant kitchen worth its salt, and you won't find an excess of single-function gadgets collecting dust. Every instrument and piece of cookware serves a purpose, earning the real estate -- however small -- it occupies. That's what makes career chefs the perfect people to ask about all the kitchen tools that don't belong in your kitchen, especially when space

Companies may soon pay a fee for their rockets to share the skies with airplanes

The Federal Aviation Administration may soon levy fees on companies seeking launch and reentry licenses, a new tack in the push to give the agency the resources it needs to keep up with the rapidly growing commercial space industry. The text of a budget reconciliation bill released by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) last week calls for the FAA's Office of Commercial Space Transportation, known as AST, to begin charging licensing fees to space companies next year. The fees would phase in over eight year

The Mysterious Inner Workings of Io, Jupiter’s Volcanic Moon

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Scott Bolton’s first encounter with Io took place in the summer of 1980, right after he graduated from college and started a job at NASA. The Voyager 1 spacecraft had flown past this moon of Jupiter, catching the first glimpse of active volcanism on a world other than Earth. Umbrella-shaped outbursts of magmatic matter rocketed into space from all over Io’s surface. “They looked amazingly beautiful,” said Bolton, who is now based a

No Kings: protests in the eye of the storm

As President Donald Trump kicked off a birthday military parade on the streets of Washington, DC, what’s estimated as roughly 2,000 events were held across the US and beyond — protesting Trump and Elon Musk’s evisceration of government services, an unprecedented crackdown by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and countless other actions from the administration in its first five months.

How to build the best keyboard in the world

The term “endgame,” among keyboard enthusiasts, is sort of a running gag. Endgame is when you finally dial in your perfect layout, case, features, switches, and keycaps, so you can stop noodling around with parts and get on with whatever it is you actually use the keyboard for — work, presumably. Then a few months later you see something shiny and start over. In the search for endgame, most of us have to compromise somewhere — usually time or money. Sometimes the thing you’re looking for just d

Norbauer Seneca review: a $3,600 luxury keyboard for the keyboard obsessed

Some people can tell great wine from okay wine. They go on wine tastings, take wine tours. They tend to spend more money on wine than most. I am not one of those people. I can tell wine from vinegar if you show me the bottle. I am just a little bit obsessed with keyboards, though. I have spent the past couple of months typing on the Seneca, a fully custom capacitive keyboard that starts at $3,600 and might be the best computer keyboard ever built. I’ve also made a bunch of other people type on

Bioengineered Tooth Implant That Grows Into Gum, Fuses With Nerves Performing Well in Animal Tests

Image by Jenna Schad / Tufts Developments Researchers have successfully implanted a bioengineered tooth implant — that "grows" into the gum and fuses with existing nerves — into the mouths of rats.

Is your phone provider’s autopay discount really worth it?

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Autopay is easily one of the most convenient ways to pay your bills, especially if you’re like me and struggle to keep track of everything manually. Without autopay, it’s easy to accidentally miss a payment if you’re not careful. In the past, I’ve used autopay for nearly everything — from health and car insurance to utility bills, recurring entertainment subscriptions, and, of course, services like phone plans that offer discounts for autopay enrollment.

I’ve had Visible for a month, and this is the one thing I wish someone had told me before I joined

Joe Maring / Android Authority A little over a month ago, I made a big change in my cell phone world; after 10 years of being a T-Mobile customer, I jumped ship and joined Visible. Not entirely sure what to expect with such a dramatic transition, I’ve been very pleased with Visible so far. The sign-up process was easy, my service has been great, and I’m really happy with the price I’m paying. As well as things have gone, there has been one hiccup that I wasn’t expecting. It’s far from a dealbr

Apple will let third party music apps show animated artwork on the iPhone lock screen, not just Apple Music

One of the stylish visual changes to the iPhone on iOS 26 is a new layout for the lock screen when music is playing. Artwork can now be animated and shown full-screen on the iPhone display, with playback controls resting on a platter of a liquid glass. You can try this out right now with Apple Music. Play a song that has animated album art, and lock the phone. But users of third-party music streaming apps like Spotify will also be pleased to know that Apple is opening up this capability as an A
