Paramount is delaying a slew of movie release dates, including Top Gun: Maverick, Mission Impossible 7, the upcoming untitled Star Trek, and more.
Top Gun: Maverick has been moved from July 2 all the way to November 19, taking over Mission Impossible 7's now-former date. MI7 is now scheduled to release on May 27, 2022. Similarly, Mission Impossible 8 have been moved from November 2022 to July 7, 2023.

Paramount’s Dungeons & Dragons film is also being pushed back, from May 2022 to March 3, 2023.
The currently untitled Star Trek film, assumedly the one being written by Fear the Walking Dead’s Kalinda Vasquez, has been pushed back to June 9, 2023.

Star Wars: Republic Commando Remastered Review
First released in 2005, Star Wars: Republic Commando acted as many a young Star Wars fan's initial introduction to the concept that the clone troopers of the prequel trilogy are human beings--creating unique identities for the seemingly identical soldiers. Republic Commando has a strong legacy among Star Wars fans--despite the game's removal from the official canon, it remains a key part of the Star Wars universe, especially when it comes to video game entries.
Handled by Aspyr Media, Star Wars: Republic Commando Remastered brings the original 2005 Xbox and PC game to PS4 and Switch with enhanced HD graphics and modernized controls, though the multiplayer is absent. Otherwise, it's the same game. And though the flaws in its gameplay are only more noticeable now 16 years later, this remaster manages to still deliver a compelling story of four specialized commandos engaging in a variety of combat missions across the Clone Wars.
Squad Up
In Republic Commando, you play as RC-1138 aka "Boss," commanding sergeant of a specialized commando unit trained to take on missions that require a greater level of skill and cognitive ability than standard clone troopers possess. Your unit, Delta Squad, is also composed of sarcastic demolitions expert RC-1262 aka "Scorch," by-the-books hacker and technical analyst RC-1140 aka "Fixer," and morbidly grim sniper RC-1207 aka "Sev." The game takes place over several locations, beginning with an assignment on Geonosis at the end of Attack of the Clones and concluding on Kashyyyk just prior to the events of Revenge of the Sith.
