New ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ teaser shows Finn ready to fight

With Star Wars: The Last Jedi less than a month away, the hype for the latest installment of the renowned science fantasy franchise just keeps building up. We get a new teaser for the film showing us two of the protagonists—Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Finn (John Boyega)—ready to head to battle. Rey is seen asking Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) for help after handing over his lightsaber. Meanwhile, Finn wakes up and looks ready to head to war, even saying “I was raised to fight. For the first time I have something to fight for.”

On a related note, it seems we have at least a decade more of Star Wars to look forward to. According to Lucasfilm head Kathy Kennedy’s interview with The Star Wars Show, ““We’re sitting down now, we’re talking about the next 10 years of Star Wars stories and we’re looking at narratively where that might go. Future stories beyond Episode IX, with these new characters, Rey, Poe, Finn, BB-8. But we’re also looking at working with people that are interested in coming into the Star Wars world and taking us to places that we haven’t been yet, and that’s exciting too because it’s a vast galaxy far, far away. The possibilities are endless!”

Is ‘Stranger Things 3’ a go?

It seems inevitable that the award-winning popular Netflix show Stranger Things will get a third season. But actually the show hasn’t officially been announced to get the next season. Everyone assumes it’s getting one and we are sure that isn’t unwarranted. The show garnered more than 15 million streams according to Nielsen and recent comment by co-creator Ross Duffer suggests it’s coming soon… though not that soon.

“We are [in] very early days on season three and we’re still figuring it out,” series co-creator Duffer told a panel during Vulture Festival LA. “I probably wasn’t supposed to say that. That’s not official, that wasn’t an official announcement—we’re just working on it, just for our own amusement…for fun!” Admittedly, it’s hard for us to believe that they’re working on it “for fun.” One storyline they’re possibly exploring is Kali’s story. “It feels weird to me that we wouldn’t solve [Kali’s] storyline,” Duffer said. “I would say chances are very high she comes back.” And we’re fairly confident we’ll be hearing about season three happening real soon.

Google to release update that gets rid of weird buzzing noise on the Pixel 2

Review: Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL

The Google Pixel line has been hit by one issue after another. But the good thing coming out of it is it seems Google is at least paying attention to remedy what they can. This time around there seems to be a strange buzzing sound coming out of the smaller Pixel 2 device—at least for some users. The sounds apparently manifests when the phone is placed to the ear when making calls. According to Google, the update will be on its way in the coming weeks but they won’t specify a date yet.

Spotify now supports iPhone X

The iPhone X screen with and without the letterboxing

Might be a bit late when compared to other popular apps but better late than never we say. The iOS version of Spotify now supports the iPhone X’s 5.8-inch OLED display. This means you get to see more of things like track lists and search results on the screen as well as more artwork when you browse through albums and playlists. The 1,125 x 2,436 resolution display of the iPhone X allows for 20 percent more vertical space for content. Heavy users of the music streaming app might appreciate the update.
