Rise of Skywalker: JJ Abrams Explains Why the Knights of Ren Are Back
The Rise of Skywalker director J.J. Abrams has opened up about his decision to bring back the Knights of Ren for Episode IX, saying he felt they deserved more screen time in the Star Wars universe.
In an interview with Esquire, Abrams admitted that he had a lot of ideas for the elusive group of masked warriors after their brief introduction in The Force Awakens, so he wanted to expand on their story while he still had the opportunity.
Nintendo Switch Eshop Black Friday Deals 2019: Get Zelda, Cuphead, And More For Cheap
The products discussed here were independently chosen by our editors. GameSpot may get a share of the revenue if you buy anything featured on our site.
Even Nintendo is getting in on the Black Friday discounts.
Nintendo is having one of its surprisingly rare sales on digital games right now, with plenty of its fantastic first-party games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild available for cheaper than usual. If you prefer having all your games on your Switch at once instead of swapping carts in and out, Black Friday weekend 2019 is your best chance to stock up on games for the console.
That said, don’t expect especially steep discounts in Nintendo’s Black Friday Eshop sale–this is still Nintendo, after all. But after digging through everything on sale, there are a few discounts that are worth calling out. In the following gallery, GameSpot’s editors and producers highlight some of their favorite games that are being discounted on the Nintendo Eshop for Black Friday. Nintendo’s sale includes both Switch games, which we’ve focused on, but also 3DS games, with the likes of Persona Q2 on sale for $20.
The aforementioned Breath of the Wild is the best deal of the lot (discounted from $60 to $42). On Switch, Nintendo has several notable single-player sequels to its main exclusive franchises–Super Mario Odyssey, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and Pokemon Sword / Shield just to name a few–but, unfortunately, Breath of the Wild and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 are the only two on sale this Black Friday. You’ll have more options if you’re open to buying physical games, as detailed in our roundup of the best Switch game deals.
There are several excellent third-party and indie games on sale that you should consider picking up if you haven’t already. Celeste is a big one, one of the best indie games to come out in 2018, which has been discounted from $20 to $10. Dead Cells has a decent deal too, which is being sold for $17.49–a nice cut from its usual $25 price tag.
Read on for a look at all of our picks from the sale, which runs from now until December 4.

Hulu’s Black Friday Deal Gets You The Streaming Service For Super-Cheap
There are plenty of streaming services available right now from Netflix to the recently launched Disney+, and if you’re looking to add Hulu to your list of monthly subscriptions, now is the time to do so. Hulu is running a Black Friday and Cyber Monday deal where you can have the basic service for under $2 a month.
Beginning on Thursday, November 28 and running until the end of December 2, you can land a basic Hulu subscription for $1.99 a month for the first year. There are a few caveats though. You have to be a new subscriber to the service or someone who cancelled your account over 12 months ago. Additionally, if you signed up for the 99 cent promo during the Cyber Week 2018 promo, you will not be eligible for this deal.
The Hulu streaming service allows you to watch movies, TV shows, and original programming. What sets it apart from other services is that you can watch many network and cable shows the day after they air on television. Additionally, you can watch older episodes and seasons of these same series, on demand. This deal is for the basic Hulu package, so you will have to sit through commercials for the service’s programming, just like you would for live TV.
Normally, the ad-supported version of Hulu costs $6 a month, while the no ad plan costs $12. Additionally, there is a plan bundling the ad-supported version of Hulu, ESPN+, and Disney+ for $13 a month. There are also two plans that include live TV viewing as well for $45 a month (with ads) and $51 (without ads), and there are additional premium channels that can be added as well.
The $2 a month Hulu deal runs from November 28 at 12 AM PT until December 2 at 11:59 PM PT.
