Why Star Wars The Last Jedi Was A Surprising Sequel

In December 2017, Rian Johnson and the team at Lucasfilm unleashed Star Wars: The Last Jedi onto an unsuspecting galaxy. The eighth instalment in the mainline Skywalker saga went off like a thermal detonator lobbed into the heart of the fandom, sparking arguments between old friends and igniting an online discourse comprised of endless hot takes and a fair bit of nastiness.

Xbox Needs To Get In The Vr Game

Head of Xbox Phil Spencer recently expressed that “nobody is asking for VR” when the topic came up in an interview. This statement might have been made a bit early in the game, as VR seems to be picking up steam as we head into the new year. The fact of the matter is that Xbox will miss out if VR does hit its stride, given Spencer’s sentiment, so it is high time that Microsoft arrange its priorities accordingly and launch its own VR operation....

As time passed, we saw a few updates, though problems remained aplenty. Well, it looks like players are getting an early holiday present....
