Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’s Lightsaber Design Has Been Changed
Respawn Entertainment has changed the design of the lightsaber wielded by protagonist Cal Kestis in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order after receiving feedback during E3.
Game director Stig Asmussen spoke about the design change with Game Informer. When asked about the in-game saber design, which features a solid blue hue rather than a white ‘core’ as seen in most other lightsabers, Asmussen explained that it was not Respawn’s intention to redesign the classic sci-fi sword, but was instead simply a mistake.
“We made a mistake on that one and since then we’ve fixed it,” Asmussen said. “That was very fair feedback, very fair criticism, and we’ve tweaked that. We’ve also tweaked the shape of the lightsaber blade a little bit as well, too. You can see the difference right away.”

The Walking Dead: How Robert Kirkman Faked Out Fans
Warning: this article contains spoilers for The Walking Dead #193!
The Walking Dead somehow managed to save its biggest plot twist for last. Today marks the release of The Walking Dead #193, an issue we only just learned is also the series finale. And as creator Robert Kirkman notes in his afterword, maintaining the element of surprise wasn't easy. He and publisher Image Comics had to go to some fairly extreme lengths to throw readers off the trail.
Kirkman took advantage of the fact that comic books sold through distributor Diamond Comics are solicited three months ahead of time. He and artist Charlie Adlard went so far as to create fake solicitation copy and even cover art for issues #194, #195 and #196, teasing a nonexistent storyline involving a new character named Sheriff Kapoor (who does play a minor role in issue #193).

How Far From Home Could Set Up Spider-Man 3 – SPOILERS
Warning: This article contains major spoilers for Spider-Man: Far From Home!
The latest Spider-Man movie ends on a surprisingly dark note, assuming you stick around to watch the mid-credits sequence. In this scene, J. Jonah Jameson (played by a returning J.K. Simmons!) airs doctored footage of Spider-Man's final encounter with Mysterio, making it seem as though Spidey himself ordered the London drone attack which took place during the film's climax. Worse, JJJ reveals to the whole world that Peter Parker is Spider-Man.
