The Star Wars mobile role-playing game Star Wars: Galaxy Heroes is getting some new popular characters. Three members of The Mandalorian are going to be playable on the game soon. It will be adding Bounty Hunters Guild leader Greef Karga and former rebel shock trooper Cara Dune on April 22. Greef can assist with attacker-heavy Bounty Hunter squads, while Cara can be an "additional tank" for Rebel squads or become an "additional damage dealer" for Scoundrel teams. The beloved Mandalorian will be coming later at an unspecified date.

While Galaxy Heroes is your typical mobile RPG with character recruiting, turn-based battles, and in-game purchases, it's fun to get to play your favourite Star Wars characters. Now, we kind of wish Baby Yoda made an appearance, too.

What Makes the Shazam App So Popular?

If someone would have told you three years ago that eventually there would be a music app that could recognize songs just by the lyrics, people would not have believed you.

Shazam is one of today’s most interesting music and entertainment apps. Its ability to identify music it hears helps you to catalogue and share your favourite music and TV.

Shazam helps users identify songs simply by picking them up on a device’s mic. The Pop-Up Shazam feature tracks songs playing externally — at a concert or over a grocery store PA for instance — and internally on your device. This is a feature that users have been craving for years, and the app has finally delivered.

Apple iPhone SE is expected to arrive in Canada in the second week of May

The iPhone SE is already available for pre-order over at Apple's website. The more budget-friendly iPhone is expected to launch on April 24. But that doesn't mean it will ship then. The tech manufacturer projects that free deliveries are scheduled to arrive between May 7 and 11, while those who spent $13 more for the expedited shipping are expected to arrive between May 5 and 7. 

The delays aren't surprising, given how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the ability for manufacturers to deliver on time. Plus, with major retailers closed, online orders are the only way to get devices like the iPhone. But people might be willing to wait given how much cheaper this iPhone is compared to the latest ones out there. The starting price of the 64GB model is $599.
