Star Wars Episode 9: Princess Leia?

download (3)

When it comes to star wars there is a huge elephant in the room that nobody enjoys taking about. It’s a sad topic, it’s a morbid topic and honestly all Star Wars fans from the most casual to the older die-hard fans don’t like to think about it. What about our beloved Princess? The death of Carrie Fisher left a huge hole in both the movie franchise and our hearts and childhoods. It’s common knowledge that these movies were meant to be a send off of sorts for Han, Luke and Leia but with the unexpected passing it clearly messed up the plan. The most logical step would be to kill the character in a book or comic off-screen and tell the story in the traditional scroll.  CGI is also an option of sorts, but that has already been dismissed completely. Recasting is a far less appealing option and would surely upset the fan base. Or would it?

There is currently a petition online for a woman who played a version of Carrie Fisher in Post Cards From the Edge, and long time friend of Fishers to step in and play her so the Princess Leia character can still have her moment to shine. For those that don’t know who I am referring to, none other than Meryl Streep herself. You can read more about that and part of the petition at movieweb.com.

Personally while I would understand the decision to recast and I can’t say I would be against Meryl Streep stepping in for her friends character to get her time I fall into the side that says to let the Princess die off-screen. For me there could be no other than The late Carrie Fisher, it just would not seem right. I would watch the movie regardless, but it just would seem odd to someone else playing the role. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Sea of Thieves First Legendary Pirate

Among the many complaints of the lack of content for Sea of Thieves is the forgotten by many fact that there is post game content not yet seen by anyone. Maxing out all factions at level 50 gets you the rank of Pirate Legend, something nobody had done, until recently. A Twitch streamer as reported by IGN became the first to accomplish this.

Now some people have claimed he cheated by streaming and when his viewers had loot asking to join them, selling it for the money and experience, then just moving on to the next person tho honestly take this with a HUGE grain of salt. I can’t on any way confirm this and as is common with the internet people like to get jealous or simply repeat rumors,I only mention it to make people aware the rumor does exist. Regardless, congrats to the first Pirate Legend. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Dragon Quest as a series has always struggled in North America, so we always seem to get them late if at all. After launching last July in Japan and Square Enix being very Hush Hush about DQ11 coming west we finally have out answer, and that answer is September 4th. As exciting as this is however the news isn’t all good, the Switch will have to wait until “much later” , in fact it has been confirmed it won’t release this year at all and the 3Ds version will localized on the great date of “never” leaving your options as PS4 or PC. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

No Man’s Sky Xbox One

nms

Not long ago an ambitious game was released that disappointed many, No Man’s Sky. It lack many of the features that were said would be there, the game was mostly just collecting resources just to fly to the next planet and do the same thing and the creatures looked very off. The game was a lot of fun for people who enjoyed that type of game, but many were very much not happy.

Hello Games however did eventually start releasing updates to correct this, some small some large. Many of the promised features were added and the game has greatly improved.  Hello Games announced the biggest update yet, titled Next. Not much is known besides the fact that it will be free. But that isn’t the biggest announcement they had. With 4k and HDR support it will also launch for the Xbox One and with Xbox one X enhancements.  So until then, stay safe and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Borderlands 3 Rumors

This one should be filed under take with a grain of salt, but be hopeful because really its about that time, according to comicbook.com and other sites we may be getting an official reveal of Borderlands 3 just before E3 this year. Many people have mixed feelings about this with Borderlands 2 being considered one of the all time greats but the Pre-sequel being considered meh by many some worry BL3 won’t be able to hold up.

With that being said Gamerant reports that much of the information and a recent leak very much appears to be fake and the evidence for such is very compelling tho even they admit that the game seems like it will be coming before March 2019. With E3 right around the corner we won’t have long to wait, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

According to screen rant the DC Flashpoint movie will be moving its filming it Vancouver. The film so far has had numerous director changes but thankfully has locked up the people needed to do its thing and get started. My personal opinion tho, hopefully this turns out better than most of the other DC movies. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

This week Black Panther became The 33rd film and 16th Disney to join an elite club of movies to make a billion dollars in world wide sales (not adjusted for inflation) according to Hollywoodreporter.com.

It also did this on only its 26th day in release and is on track to pass even the Avengers movie in money made. Not bad for a movie many people thought wouldn’t be able to keep its staying power. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
