Prior to the box office failure of Solo: A Star Wars Story, it had been rumored that the next standalone movie in the long-running franchise would be an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie starring Ewan McGregor. The commercial disappointment of Solo led to the cancellation of further standalone Star Wars films, but it has now been reported that McGregor could be set to reprise the role for a new TV show.

According to Deadline, the actor is in talks to play the Jedi Master in a series that will premiere on the upcoming streaming platform Disney+. McGregor played Obi-Wan in George Lucas’s Star Wars prequel trilogy, namely The Phantom Menace (1999), Attack of the Clones (2002), and Revenge of the Sith (2005). He also made a brief voice cameo in 2015’s The Force Awakens.

There are no further details about the potential Obi-Wan show, and it is unknown if it will differ from the rumored movie. While the film was never officially announced by Lucasfilm, it had been reported that Billy Elliott director Stephen Daldry would helm it, and it would be set on Tatooine before the events of the original 1977 Star Wars movie.

If it happens, the Obi-Wan show will be the third live-action Star Wars heading to Disney+. The service launches in November with The Mandalorian, which stars Pedro Pascal and has Lion King director Jon Favreau as showrunner. A trailer is yet to be officially released online, but footage was shown at Star Wars Celebration in April. There’s also a show centered around the Rogue One character of Cassian Andor in the works.

In related news, the trailer for Star Wars: Resistance Season 2 was released this week. The second and final season of the animated Star Wars show returns to the Disney Channel on October 6.

Loot Crate, the subscription service that sends its subscribers curated boxes every month full of items relating to various pop culture franchises, has filed for bankruptcy and let go much of its work force. Although the website and store is still up, Loot Box is now on the market for acquisition. It is expected to finalise a sale within the next 45 days.

As Gizmodo reports, last month the company let go 150 of its warehouse workers, and dozens of other workers have been let go this week. Loot Crate has received a commitment from Money Chest LLC for more funding of up to $10 million, which will allow the company to keep operating for now. According to the press release the company put out about their situation, “employees and customers should not notice any difference in operations as a result of the filing or during the sale process except for the better.”

However, some customers have reported not receiving new boxes from Loot Crate for months – responses to the company’s tweet about their bankruptcy point towards customers who are as many as seven boxes behind on their subscriptions. Former senior community manager Shawnee Hale has tweeted out that those let go did not receive severance pay, either.

Whether Loot Crate will be able to continue operating into the future, and how it will fulfill its existing obligations to subscribers, remains unclear. According to the LA Times, they currently owe about $20 million worth of unshipped crates.

Henry Cavill is playing Geralt in The Witcher Netflix series, which we’re very much looking forward to. But if you really can’t wait for Cavill to step into Geralt’s huge boots, you can grab this mod for the PC version of The Witcher 3.

The mod, released by Adnan4444 on NexusMods, replaces Geralt’s usual face with one that resembles Cavill in the upcoming series. “This mod page will be a base for different Henry Cavill variations in future,” the page reads. “With scars, dirt, brown hair with blue eyes etc, but first of all, now I’m presenting a look closer to Geralt in Netflix show.” The screen below shows a Geralt that much closer to the British actor in appearance.

The Witcher 3 is also available on PS4 and Xbox One, and is coming to Nintendo Switch later this year. This mod, however, is only available for the PC version.

Shantae 5 is now officially named Shantae and the Seven Sirens. WayForward has revealed some new details about the next Shantae game, and dropped some screens to give fans a taste of the upcoming game’s gorgeous visuals. The fifth game in the long-running series was announced back in March, but little information has been available until now.

The game has been unveiled on Wayforward’s website. It will send Shantae and her friends to a tropical island, where they’ll meet several other half-genies. Of course, things won’t go smoothly, and the eponymous half-genie will find herself tussling with numerous enemies. Some first-look screenshots are below.

The game promises to feature all new dance abilities and Fusion Magic, as well as a nonlinear world to explore. There will also be a collectible card system, which will let players change Shantae’s abilities. The game will support 4K resolution on systems that can handle it, and will feature numerous minigames, hidden secrets, and “gorgeously animated TV-style cutscenes.”

Shantae and the Seven Sirens is coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Apple Arcade, and a release date has not been announced yet – it’s not clear whether it will release in 2019 or not. The last game in the series was 2016’s Shantae: Half-Genie Hero. In his 8/10 review, Jason D’Aprile called the game “a delightful experience”.

I used to love Minecraft – maybe even fair to say I lived in it for a short while. That’s not quite the case anymore. Minecraft is certainly still hugely popular (Business Insider reported it has 91 million players as of October 2018), but I know myself and many others have strayed away from the delightfully creative game. Mojang’s first in-house Minecraft spinoff, Minecraft Dungeons, will likely pull me back into the world of destructible blocks and charming mobs, but in an excitingly different way.

Minecraft Dungeons is an action-adventure dungeon crawler that doesn’t require its players to pick a class for their journey. Instead, your gear determines your abilities, which allows you to change your strategy on the fly. Minecraft Dungeons Executive Producer David Nisshagen said this was done to allow players to have some of the flexibility and freedom seen in Minecraft.

Madden NFL 20 was July’s best-selling video game, marking the 20th consecutive year that a Madden NFL game became the best-selling game of its release month. Fire Emblem: Three Houses was the second best-selling game of July 2019, followed by Super Mario Maker 2.

Madden NFL 20 immediately became the eight-best-selling game of 2019 thanks to the massive popularity of the Madden NFL game franchise. Our Madden NFL 20 review said this year’s entry had some of the best moment-to-moment gameplay in the series. However, we found other areas like the Franchise mode to be a bit lacking this year.
