John Boyega Admits Star Wars: The Last Jedi Was ‘a Bit Iffy’

The Last Jedi was a divisive Star Wars film among fans, and it turns out that one of the movie’s lead actors wasn’t too thrilled with it, either.

In an interview with Hypebeast leading up to The Rise of Skywalker, John Boyega reflected on his time as Finn, the First Order Stormtrooper who turned and joined forces with the Resistance in Episode VII.

“The Force Awakens I think was the beginning of something quite solid, The Last Jedi if I’m being honest I’d say that was feeling a bit iffy for me,” Boyega said. “I didn’t necessarily agree with a lot of the choices in that and that’s something that I spoke to Mark

Overwatch Winter Wonderland Event Begins

Overwatch has rung in the holiday season with its annual Winter Wonderland event on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The event will run from December 10 through January 2, and includes a new game mode, new cosmetics and skins, and weekly challenges.

The new mode is a mini-game dubbed “Snowball Deathmatch.” It’s an eight-player free-for-all where everyone plays as Mei with a snowball gun, but there’s a twist. Mei gets a new “Catch” ability allowing her to catch enemy snowballs and add it to her own ammo count. The first player to score 15 eliminations wins.

The event will also feature seven new skins–four Legendary that can be opened in loot boxes, and three Epic that can be earned through weekly challenges. The Epic skins include Ugly Sweater Soldier 76 (Week 1), Holly Moira (Week 2), and Snow Angel Mercy (Week 3). Legendaries include Jotunn Doomfist, Mountain Man McCree, Rat King Reaper, and Rime Sigma. Plus, as usual, you can earn a collection of new player icons and sprays.

The event comes alongside a significant new patch. That update adds a new “While You Wait” feature that lets you pick from various options to toy with as you wait to find a match. You could use a practice range, skirmish, play a little deathmatch, or even enter a custom game mode. It also includes a number of bug fixes and hero balance updates, which you can read about here.

Destiny 2: A Matter Of Time Quest Steps — How To Unlock The Sundial

The Sundial is the major new activity in Destiny 2‘s newly launched Season of Dawn. Much like the Vex Offensive, Bungie expects you to spend the next few months with this replayable activity to grind out new weapons and rewards. But before you can do so, you’ll need to make your way through a quest–A Matter of Time–in order to gain access. Here’s what to expect from each quest step to unlock the Sundial–and, by extension, this season’s artifact, which is given to you following your first Sundial run.

While it’s the big headlining feature of Season of Dawn, there’s a lot more to check out in Destiny 2 right now. Along with a revamped Eververse, Bungie has implemented changes across the board. Solar subclasses, Exotics, and numerous weapons and pieces of armor have been tweaked in various ways, while the Power cap has been raised by 10. We’re still digging into the new update, but for now, check out the update 2.7.0 patch notes.

A Matter of Time Quest Steps

A Disturbance on Mercury

  • Osiris located

For this step, select Mercury from the Director and you’ll see a new Sundial Spire option near the top of the map. Head there and proceed straight up the stairs, past the enemies, to speak with Osiris.

Recovery Operation

To begin repairing the first obelisk, you’ll head to the Tangled Shore. The obelisk is located right next to the Thieves’ Landing landing zone, but you’ll instead want to head up to Soriks’s Cut, where you’ll find Cabal. You’ll need to kill Cabal to obtain Sundial components for this quest step. Any Cabal will do, but you can speed up your progress by using Solar weapons or abilities, which can cause Cabal to drop multiple materials at a time.

Reinforcements

Head to Thieves’ Landing and interact with the Obelisk to deposit the Sundial components you’ve collected.

Light Collection

  • Light charge collected

Next, you’ll need to collect Light by killing enemies with abilities or Supers, or by collecting Orbs of Light. Your best bet is to seek out upcoming public events on the Tangled Shore so you can rally to the banner and obtain your Super instantly. Masterwork weapons will also drop Orbs of Light to help speed along your progress.

Light Infusion

  • Bank the Light

Again, just head to the obelisk and deposit the Light you’ve collected.

Timeline Stabilization

The obelisk is now “attuned.” You can visit it to get some instructions on the basics of how the Sundial activity works in relation to the obelisks. The obelisk itself now functions like a vendor, offering up bounties–with more available if you cash in Polarized Fractalines to increase the Resonance Rank of the obelisk.

A Missing Link

As part of the explanation of the obelisks, you’re told that you can “link” an obelisk to the Sundial, thereby determining what rewards you’ll receive upon completion of a Sundial run. You can only have a limited number of obelisks linked at a time, so you’ll need to make some decisions about what items you want before jumping into the Sundial.

Visit Osiris

With the first obelisk set up, you now head back to Mercury to speak with Osiris again. He’ll grant you access to the Sundial.

The Sundial

With Osiris giving you the go-ahead, you’ll now find the Sundial playlist on Mercury’s map–it’s in the upper right. The recommended Power is 850, and as with things like the Menagerie and Vex Offensive, it’s a six-player activity with matchmaking enabled.

Kevin Feige on How Black Widow Will Change How You See Infinity War and Endgame

According to Marvel’s Chief Creative Officer Kevin Feige, Black Widow will explore parts of Natasha Romanoff’s past that will make viewers see certain events from Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame in a “new light.”

At Brazil Comic Con (CCXP19), IGN Brazil asked Feige when he and his team decided to put Black Widow between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War instead of it possibly being a prequel for the first Avengers or something similar.

“It was about four years ago as we were working on Infinity War and Endgame at the same time, we knew that we wanted to bring her story to a conclusion in the most heroic way possible in Endgame, but also that we wanted to explore a part of her life that we hadn’t seen before,” Feige said. “It occurred to us that we had seen her adventures in the Avengers movies, but a lot of stuff happened in between those movies that we never saw, we didn’t hear about, we didn’t learn about. And

The developers give an overview of the game and showcase some more gameplay footage. The trailer also provides a new look at the asymmetrical multiplayer experience Resident Evil Resistance, which is being included in the Resident Evil 3 remake. You can watch that trailer below.

The Resident Evil 3 remake is coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. Those who pre-order the title ahead of its release date will receive the exclusive Classic Costume Pack, which features the original design for Jill Valentine and hairstyle for Carlos Oliveira, as a bonus. Capcom is also releasing a $180 Collector’s edition of the game that includes a handful of physical bonuses, such as a Jill Valentine statue and hardcover art book. You can read more in our Resident Evil 3 pre-order guide.

There were a lot of other announcements during Sony’s State of Play presentation.
