Daisy Ridley On Why Baby Yoda Will Save Us All
Daisy Ridley has expressed her love for Baby Yoda. Because, well, who wouldn’t?
Ridley, who plays Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, has been down on cute mascot characters in the past, most notably venting her disdain for the puffin-like creatures called porgs that inhabit the remote island where Rey trained with Luke in The Last Jedi.
However, when asked about The Mandalorian’s adorable quintagenarian Force user during a promotional trip to Tokyo to promote Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Ridley, told IGN Japan, “I actually really like Baby Yoda! When we were doing press for The Last Jedi, people kept asking me about the Porgs. I don’t really like the Porgs.” When asked why, she joked deadpan, “I think they’re overrated. I worked a lot harder than any of the Porgs!”
Rick And Morty Season 4 Episode 5: 26 Easter Eggs And References In “Rattlestar Ricklactica”
Everyone has a plumbus in their home.
Rick and Morty Season 4, Episode 5, “Rattlestar Ricklactica,” was a return to form for the show. Even more importantly, it was an exciting milestone: For the first time ever, Rick and Morty did a time travel plot. Despite the box marked “time travel stuff” that’s always been on a shelf in Rick’s garage, creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland have stated multiple times that they don’t want to do time travel.
Well, we’re glad they did. “Rattlestar Ricklactica” was easily the best episode of this five-episode half season, with a classic concept (well-intentioned Morty screwing up an entire alien civilization), a strong subplot (Jerry wanting to get out of his floating jam without Rick’s help), some incredible gags (the time traveler riot in Nazi Snake Germany), and effortless execution.
As always, the episode was also full of Easter eggs, references, and other things you might have missed. Here’s everything we caught in Rick and Morty Season 4, Episode 5, “Rattlestar Ricklactica.” Did we miss anything? Let us know in the comments below.
The Office Releases Full Threat Level Midnight Movie On YouTube
The Office’s film-within-a-film, Michael Scott’s opus Threat Level Midnight, has been posted to The Office’s official YouTube channel. The short film, previously only available to owners of The Office season 7 on DVD, is now widely available for free online–and you can watch it below.
This 25 minute cut of the film contains all the scenes you remember, and several that didn’t make it into the episode. It’s not all Steve Carell, either–the rest of the cast, including Jenna Fischer, John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson, and Brian Baumgartner are given a chance to shine with their purposefully bad performances. There are plenty of neat visual gags scattered throughout to keep an eye out for too–an early establishing shot of Scarn’s house is revealed to be from a real estate company sign as the camera zooms out, for instance.
Watch the film below to revisit the steps involved in doing The Scarn, among other things. You’ll even get to learn the origin story of Goldenface in this cut, which is delightfully silly.
Threat Level Midnight was first cited in the show’s second season, before viewers were finally given a look at Michael Scott’s final completed product during season 7, soon before Steve Carell left the show.
The Office is the most popular show on Netflix, but it will be leaving the streaming service in January 2021. The show will be exclusive to NBC’s own streaming service, Peacock, from then. The network is also considering a reboot of the beloved sitcom.
Gears Tactics Will Be Single-Player Only And Won’t Have Microtransactions
Gears Tactics, which is coming to Xbox One and PC (including Xbox Game Pass) on April 28, 2020, was first revealed at E3 2018, before dropping off the radar until this year’s Game Awards. Now we’ve learned that game, a turn-based tactical spin-off from the Gears of War series (think XCOM but in the Gears universe), will be single-player only and will not feature cosmetic microtransactions.
This news comes via Rod Furgusson, studio head at Gears developer The Coalition, who tweeted it out after being asked for details.
For those asking, #GearsTactics is single player and has no micro transactions. Not even cosmetic ones. Everything is earned in game.

The Gears of War series has typically had a multiplayer focus, with co-op and competitive modes available in the shooters, including the recent Gears 5; Gears Tactics will be the first single-player only Gears game. Gears 5 also features numerous paid cosmetic items, but in Tactics players won’t have the option of spending additional money. There will be plenty of customization options, but you’ll have to unlock them by playing the game.
Gears Tactics promises a 40-hour campaign, and is set before the original Gears of War.
