Now this might be the coolest place to watch ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’

Disney

You might watch Star Wars: The Last Jedi in IMAX or Atmos or whatever high-tech theatre you want to catch it in. But nothing beats this special screening of the movie. NASA has confirmed with io9 that The Last Jedi will be streaming on the International Space Station. The movie will be shown in English as all crew members can speak both English and Russian. Now, when this’ll happen, there isn’t a timetable yet but according to NASA’s Dan Hout, the ISS gets movies as digital files that they can watch on a laptop or a “standard projector” that’s aboard the space station.

Netflix to remake ‘She-Ra’, will come to service in 2018

Netflix teams up with DreamWorks Animation to bring a classic 1980s cartoon to life. The two will be rebooting She-Ra, which will be done under the eye of Eisner Award-winning author and executive producer Noelle Stevenson. The original series debuted in 1985 as an answer for demands of having a strong female hero in a fantasy series. It seems fitting with the way things are going in the world today that we’re getting a 21st century treatment for the show. She-Ra is Princess Adora, the twin sister of Prince Adam of Eternia, a.k.a. the “defender of the universe” a.k.a. He-Man. To combat evil, He-Man wields the Sword of Power, while She-Ra makes use of the Sword of Protection. You can watch the original She-Ra on Netflix.

On top of remaking She-Ra, a number of other DreamWorks production will be making their debut in 2018, these include DreamWorks Trolls: The Beat Goes On!, The Boss Baby: Back in Business, Harvey Street Kids, The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants, Trollhunters (Part 3), and 3 Below from the Tales of Arcadia trilogy.

Google Assistant finally makes its way to Android tablets and more phones

Google is slowly rolling out Google Assistant to more and more users. For those who have Android tablets running on Nougat or Marshmallow in the US, Assistant is coming to your device if you have the language set to English. Now, the update for Android phones is more important in a way that it reaches more users. Those with Android devices that still run on Lollipop in Canada, US, UK, India, and Singapore with the language set to English will get the feature. If you’re in the US, Mexico, or Spain and have the language set to Spanish, then you get access to the feature, too. Those in Italy, Germany, Korea, Japan, and Brazil also get the update. Once the Google Play Services update comes your way and you opt-in to use Assistant, the Assistant app icon will show up in your “All apps” list.
