The latest PlayStation 4 firmware update is out now, but don’t expect any significant changes. The new 7.02 update is all about improving stability and system performance. “
The PS4 patch notes are one line long: “This system software update improves system performance.”
Everyone must download this update to play games online, but thankfully it’s only 447.9 MB. The timing of the update is curious, as it comes just eight days after the release of 7.01. With lots of new PlayStation consoles coming online for the holidays, it might be that Sony is pushing hard to make sure new players have a smooth experience.
More Lego films are coming–but from a different production studio. Variety reports that Jurassic World company Universal Pictures is in discussions with The Lego Group to make more movies based on the little bricks.
The Lego Movie and its sequel, as well as the Lego Batman spinoffs, were produced by Warner Bros. According to Variety, Universal’s new deal with Lego is a “much broader use of the intellectual property” compared to the previous movies.
Universal is said to be exploring numerous opportunities to create new Lego movies based on the company’s film franchises. Universal and Lego already teamed up for the Lego Jurassic World mini-series for Nickelodeon. Variety reports that Universal is also considering “live-action hybrid” movies.In addition to Jurassic World, Universal’s other massive property is Fast & Furious.
Dan Lin, who produced numerous Lego movies for Warner Bros., will reportedly return to produce the new Lego movies for Warner Bros. This is notable since Lin also has an overall deal with Warner Bros.
Another report from The Hollywood Reporter states that Universal’s new deal with Lego is “exclusive.” Lego’s partnership with Warner Bros. for Lego movies reportedly ended in Fall 2019.
The report goes on to say that after The Ninjago Movie and Lego Movie: The Second Part fell short at the box office, Lego “began rethinking its deal.” Multiple studios reportedly bid for the Lego deal before Universal closed it.

Warning: Full spoilers follow for The Rise of Skywalker. Obviously.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is the last movie in The Skywalker Saga, which means this ending explained isn’t just for one movie… but for the entire nine-film trilogy which began over 40 years ago!
So how did the original Star Wars saga finish up? Let’s break it all down.
It is… our destiny…
Entering the Unknown Regions and Exogol
After much gallivanting around a galaxy far, far away, The Rise of Skywalker spends its finale in the mysterious Unknown Regions, the unexplored area of space beyond the Outer Rim. Yeah, it turns out there’s a lot of worlds out there beyond just the area controlled at various times by the Republic, Empire and First Order.
This post contains spoilers for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and The Mandalorian Season 1 through episode 7.
What Is Force Healing?
The Rise of Skywalker introduces a lot of new Force abilities into the Star Wars franchise, but perhaps the most vital is the one utilized by Rey (and later Ben Solo) at several points – the ability to use the Force to heal an injury; even a seemingly fatal one.
When Rey encounters a wounded sand serpent in the caves of Pasaana, she explains to Finn and Poe that she used the Force to transfer a part of her life essence to the snake in order to heal it, but given how we see her holding her hand in pain, it’s implied that using the Force to heal someone takes something (whether it’s energy or pure life force) from the wielder. Rey again demonstrates the power when she heals Kylo Ren from what looks like a fatal lightsaber wound through his midsection during their battle on the ruins of the second Death Star.
This review contains full spoilers for The Witcher Season 1, episode 7, titled “Before a Fall”. For a refresher, check out our review of episode 6, “Rare Species”.
The penultimate episode of The Witcher’s freshman season resembles the show that many fans likely expected. Grand in scope (albeit not in physicality), it places Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri at the crossroads of a potentially monumental conflict. Armies march, mages scheme, and Geralt approaches his goals with singular purpose. After a season-long struggle with structure, it finally feels as if the show has found itself.
This review contains full spoilers for The Witcher Season 1, episode 6, titled “Rare Species”. For a refresher, check out our review of episode 5, “Bottled Appetites”.
As The Witcher enters the final third of its first season, we’re treated to one of the fantasy genre’s greatest treasures: dragons. Not only that, but episode 6 is about as classic a Geralt story as can be told; a contract to kill a terrifying beast, with a moral dilemma right at the centre of it. It makes for one of the season’s more enjoyable tales, and sets the stage for developments in Geralt and Yennefer’s strange relationship to play out upon.
