The Future of ‘Star Wars’ May Not Be as Connected as We Expect

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-09-18 04:30:04

One of the best, and worst, things about Star Wars in recent years is just how connected everything has been. It meant characters who may have at first seemed tangential, like Cassian Andor in Rogue One, could be greatly expanded in something like Andor. It also meant audiences who had never watched an animated show like Clone Wars or Rebels might be left confused with the stories in something like Ahsoka. In those cases and others, there always seemed to be some kind of guardrails on what was p

‘Predator 2’ Walked So the New Films Could Run

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-09-18 06:45:20

After 'Predator: Killer of Killers,' we decided to give the Danny Glover 1990 sequel a spin and were pleasantly surprised. Predator 2 is a very weird movie. As a concept, you totally understand why it exists. It’s a 1990 sequel to the 1987 hit starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, taking the titular character into a completely new location and pitting him against a new high-profile, macho movie star. Schwarzenegger was in the jungles of Central America, and Danny Glover is in the concrete jungles of

Object personification in autism: This paper will be sad if you don't read (2018)

Object personification is the attribution of human characteristics to non-human agents. In online forums, autistic individuals commonly report experiencing this phenomenon. Given that approximately half of all autistic individuals experience difficulties identifying their own emotions, the suggestion that object personification may be a feature of autism seems almost paradoxical.
