The Mandalorian: Black Panther Composer Ludwig Göransson to Score Star Wars Series

Ludwig Göransson, known for his work on Black Panther, Creed and Venom, is composing the score for the upcoming television series Star Wars: The Mandalorian.

Announced through the official Star Wars website, Göransson is hot off the heels of Golden Globe and Grammy nominations for his work on Black Panther. Outside of film, Göransson has composed for New Girl and Community on TV, produced records for Haim and Chance the Rapper, and has earned three Emmy nominations for his work with Childish Gambino (aka Donald Glover, aka Lando Calrissian).

“Words fail to express how surreal and humbling it feels to be invited into the Star Wars universe,” said Göransson. “I am deeply grateful to Jon Favreau and Disney for this opportunity and to John Williams for raising the bar so high with his iconic, intrepid scores — they will never be matched. In these next months I hope to honor the tradition of Star Wars’ musical landscape while propelling The Mandalorian into new and unchartered territory. And I will try to remember that there is no try.”

Netflix Denies It Read Users’ Facebook Messages

Facebook has reportedly given several tech companies greater access to users’ personal data than it gave to the public, and even gave Spotify and Netflix, even though Netflix denies this, “the ability to read Facebook users’ private messages.”

These findings come by way of a New York Times report that said internal documents showed that Facebook offered data for its over 2.2 billion users to Microsoft, Amazon, Spotify, Netflix and more.

In addition to Spotify and Netflix being able to read Facebook users’ private messages, the report also claims that Microsoft Bing could see all Facebook users’ friends without their consent and Amazon could gain access to users’ names and contact information through their friends.

Below Review

I love the feeling I get when exploring a new level of Below’s gloomy, foreboding dungeon for the first time. From the enemies to the environment art to the sound design, everything falls into place perfectly to create a spooky atmosphere of unveiling the unknown, never quite knowing what might lie down the next flight of stairs. Then I step on a cheap instakill spike trap, have to start over without my stuff, and likely need to spend the next 30 minutes farming lantern fuel and bat meat so I can take another crack at it. Talk about killing the mood.

Almost all of my biggest frustrations with Below come back to it not seeming able to decide if it wants to be a moody, deliberate dungeon crawler with satisfying combat or a punishing survival-action game that never lets you relax. It’s at its best when it keeps that first goal in mind, wowing me with cool, subterranean vistas and enticing me with hard-to-find secret rooms full of useful rewards.
