Star Wars Day, aka May The Fourth Be With You, has long been a celebration of the huge and vibrant Star Wars Fandom–but like all good things, brands are taking a good thing too far. Like any event big enough to trend on social media, Star Wars Day has become a minefield of bad advertising tweets.

This tweet from the NY Transit Museum makes you wonder whether ‘droid’ is a type of transit slang, or just the social media person’s favorite line from the films.

Some museums are getting it right, though.

As events come to a climax, a new world will be born. Lucy and Tamoor break down the Season 3 finale of Westworld.

Death Stranding just released in November 2019, but its strange premise is already one step closer to reality. Ele.me, a Chinese food delivery company, has teamed up with ULS Robotics to test out a new wearable exoskeleton that will allow the user to carry much heavier loads than they usually would–much like Death Stranding protagonist Sam Porter Bridges.

News site Sixth Tone has posted footage of the exoskeleton, calling it “straight out of a video game”. You can watch the video below.

This ekoskeleton allows the user to carry weights of up to 50kg (110 pounds) with relative ease, so it’s still some way off of replicating what Sam’s capable of in the game.

Of course, with folks now spending more time inside due to the COVID-19 crisis, the world is looking more and more like Kojima’s game–hopefully the BTs weren’t also an ill portent of some future doom.

If you’re a PC gamer and these references are going over your head, never fear–Death Stranding is coming to Steam on July 14.

Id Software’s Marty Stratton weighs in on the Doom Eternal soundtrack drama, there’ll be no Halo Infinite gameplay on this week’s Inside Xbox, and EA announced its 2020 EA Play dates.

While all of Disney’s parks stay closed due to the COVID-19 threat, one usually-abandoned corner of Disney World has seen some unexpected action. 42-year-old man Richard McGuire was found camping on the island after a police search involving boats, helicopters and officers on foot, Variety reports.

Though Disney’s parks are currently shut down, the section of the park McGuire was found in is not normally open to the public. Originally known as Treasure Island, now Discovery Island, the area was once a zoo-type area housing animals and birds. It closed in 1999 and has since been left to rot, as revealed in videos made by urban explorers. The island is only accessible by boat.

“Richard stated that he had made entry to the island to go camping on Monday or Tuesday and had planned on staying on the island for approximately one week,” the police report read.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is set to be the biggest Lego Star Wars yet when it launches later this year. Now, in a new interview with TT Games’ Jonathan Smith and Lucasfilm Games’ Craig Derrick on StarWars.com, we’ve gotten a better sense of just how big it might be.

You’ll be able to start the game at any point in the Saga, so you can skip the prequels or even jump right into The Last Jedi if you want to. It will also include space combat missions, and the whole game is brand new, so don’t expect to retread missions from previous Lego Star Wars games.

According to Smith, the game contains “the complete collection, from Admiral Ackbar to Zorii Bliss,” and Derrick says that “there are nearly 500 characters in this game, with many of them playable.” He says that they tried to say “yes” to every character, giving one specific example of a fun addition–The Phantom Menace’s Yaddle, the Yoda-like alien who has a famously fascinating and bizarre backstory.
