The Witcher Episode 7: ‘Before a Fall’ Review
Star Wars: Rey and Kylo Ren’s Force Connection Explained
Warning: this article contains major spoilers for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker!
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker adds new layers to the Force and the never-ending war between the Jedi and Sith. During the movie we learn that Rey and Kylo Ren are two halves of a Force Dyad, a phenomenon meant to explain the close bond they’ve shared over the course of the sequel trilogy.
The concept of a Force Dyad is new to the franchise, but it’s certainly one that builds on what we’ve previously seen with these two characters. Read on to learn more about what a Force Dyad actually is and why Rey and Ben are so different from the Jedi and Sith who have come before.
How The Witcher’s Season 1 Finale Sets Up Season 2
Warning! Full spoilers for Season 1 of Netflix’s The Witcher follow. This article also mentions some storylines from The Witcher novels. To learn more about the proper reading order for Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher books, click here.
Season 1 of The Witcher ends with a heartwarming embrace between Ciri (Freya Allan) and Geralt (Henry Cavill), as the two weary travelers fulfill their destinies. On the battlefield, Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) finally lets her chaos explode in order to defeat the Nilfgaardian army, but does it end up costing the powerful sorceress her life? This particular storyline comes from one of Andrzej Sapkowski’s short stories, titled “Something More,” which does mention the Battle of Sodden Hill that Yennefer participates in. And while there are a few differences from book to screen, the main narrative is pretty close to how Sapkowski tells it. But what does the Season 1 finale reveal about where Season 2’s story is likely headed, and what’s the deal with Geralt’s vision of his childhood and the mysterious woman named Visenna?

Star Wars Battlefront 2: Rise Of Skywalker DLC 60 Kill Streak Gameplay
To coincide with the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Star Wars Battlefront II has new DLC. Max Blumenthal jumped into the game to play as Captain Phasma and the new Sith Trooper on the brand-new map, Ajan Kloss. And, as seen in the video above, he went on a badass 60-kill streak.
In GameSpot’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker review, Mike Rougeau wrote, “In the end, [The Rise of Skywalker] feels simply empty. It should never be so clear to audiences that something in the filmmaking process has gone so terribly wrong–that the people who made the first film in a trilogy apparently didn’t bother to sketch out a plan for the second and third, and that the movies’ directors had visions for the series’ future that were so fundamentally at odds. Star Wars deserved better.”
In GameSpot’s Star Wars: Battlefront II review, Alessandro Fillari wrote, “While [Battlefront II’s] main narrative feels unresolved, and the general loop of the multiplayer carries a number of issues, Battlefront II still manages to evoke that same sense of joy and excitement found in the core of what the series is all about. But as it stands, the biggest hurdle that Battlefront II will need to overcome–for its simultaneous attempts to balance progression with genuine feeling of accomplishments–is deciding on what type of game it wants to be.”
The Witcher Episode 6: ‘Rare Species’ Review
The Witcher: What Is Geralt’s Last Wish with Yennefer?
Spoilers for Netflix’s The Witcher and Andrzej Sapkowski’s The Witcher novels continue below.
If you’ve seen The Witcher episode 5, “Bottled Appetites,” then you probably have one big question hanging in the air: What was Geralt’s last wish to the djinn? Bad news first: no one actually knows.
That unanswered question has remained unresolved since Andrzej Sapkowski first published his collection of The Witcher short stories, titled The Last Wish, in Poland all the way back in 1993. It’s clear Sapkowski intentionally wanted the last wish to be left up to the audience’s imagination, which is why he hasn’t gone on record with a clear answer in the years since. But the good news is fans have had over two and a half decades to speculate on what that last wish actually was, and they have a pretty solid idea.
