Disney+ show 'Ahsoka' tipped to have Hayden Christensen, too

Lucasfilm

Hayden Christensen, who played Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in the prequels, is already set to reprise his role in next year's Obi-Wan Kenobi show with Ewan McGregor. But aside from that, there are rumours that he will also be reprising his role in the upcoming Disney+ series Ahsoka. It won't be much of a surprise to see him there, given that Ahsoka Tano was Anakin Skywalker's padawan. What isn't clear is how he'll fit into the story.

Ahsoka takes place five years after the events in Return of the Jedi, but Vader dies in that film, so we're wondering how he'll fit into the story. Perhaps as a flashback or a Force ghost? Rosario Dawson will be reprising her role as Ahsoka, which she played in The Mandalorian. Dave Filoni will write the story and serve as an executive producer alongside Jon Favreau. The series will kick off production in 2022.

Samsung might be thinking of bringing a notch to its tablet, too. The company is reportedly planning to add a small notch on the gigantic Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. The slate is tipped to have a 14.6-inch display, so the cutout might help reduce its size.

It will reportedly get a dual-rear camera setup with the magnetic strip to hold your S Pen. But the unnamed source claims this design isn't "100 percent complete," so we might still see a different look. The regular Tab S8 and S8+ aren't expected to get notches.

Google Meet hosts can keep participants mics and cameras off

Google

Google Meet is getting a new feature that can help prevent distractions from noisy or unruly attendees. Hosts will get the option to turn off participants' microphones and cameras and prevent them from turning these back on. 

This mic and camera lock feature will be off by default, so hosts will need to turn this on during meetings if they want access to it. If the sessions have breakout rooms, the audio and video locks in the main will apply there. But it won't work the opposite way, meaning if the locks were implemented in the breakout rooms, they wouldn't apply outside of those sessions.
