'Solo: A Star Wars Story' spin-off is reportedly in the works for Disney+

By Star Wars standards, Solo: A Star Wars Story was considered a box office flop. It wasn't critically acclaimed either. But the hardcore fans have been clamouring for a sequel. The #MaleSolo2Happen hashtag on Twitter has been picking up some steam as well as people have started to discover the movie and find that they like it. Star Wars Unity reports that a spinoff of sorts might be in the works for the Disney+ streaming service. Disney or Lucasfilm isn't officially confirming the rumours.

Rumours claim the project might be a movie, but it might not contain any of the iconic heroes from the last project. The focus might be on the enemy or "the Crimson Dawn and other scoundrels." It's believed that the scrapped Mos Eisley movie may have been "repurposed" for a potential Solo spinoff for the service. With no new Star Wars movie set to come out after the current trilogy ends this year, fans will be asking for content. And this might be one of them that we could anticipate. For now, we know Disney+ has The Mandalorian, the Rogue One prequel series, and the Obi-Wan Kenobi show on the way. Lucasfilm might be waiting to see how the announced programs are received before they reveal other plans. 

Rumour has it the Galaxy Note line might go away

With the differences between the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy S lines diminishing, Samsung might be doing more harm to its flagship smartphone segment. A new rumour from tipster Evan Blass (@evleaks) suggests that Samsung might be thinking about this problem and the company might unite the two under the Galaxy One brand. And the one reportedly getting axed is the more innovative Note brand. Instead of releasing two flagships at the start and latter part of the year, the company might focus on the S series. This flagship will launch at the beginning of the year with phones that also carry the S Pen.

As for the gap in the fall, Samsung is said to be considering filling this in with the Galaxy Fold. As MSPowerUser points out, the Note line did start as Samsung's more experimental line. It makes sense that Samsung's most out-there product right now takes its place. But according to this is still reliant on a few factors. He tweets, "Assuming that Fold performs according to expectations—both functionally and in the market—the hope is to deploy its successors as a second-half flagship, in the spot that would be vacated by Note. This was described as still being very fluid and tentative at this stage." For now, these are all rumours, and we still have the Note line. But we're keeping our eyes out for any changes to suggest otherwise.

Google One gets automatic phone backup

Google wants to help out its Google One subscribers secure the data on their phone. All Google One users now have automatic phone backup of photos, videos, and MMS. You don't have to worry about keeping important images, videos, contacts, and messages with you—even if you break your phone, lose it, or switch to a new one. Aside from offering texts, contacts, and apps backup, Google One can keep original quality photos, videos, and multimedia messages (MMS). We must note that Google Photos also offers original quality photo and video backup. The backups are managed directly from the Google One app. When you set up your next Android phone, the transition should be seamless.
