Upcoming 'Star Wars' movie rumoured to focus on Sith planet Exegol

Lucasfilm

With the future of Star Wars movies up in the air, we scramble for any new bits of information about what comes next. The latest rumour we've heard talks about the movie reportedly taking place on the Sith planet Exegol. And the film will reportedly have Sleight filmmaker J.D. Dillard at the helm alongside Luke Cage and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. writer Matt Owens. This movie, however, doesn't have any connection with the announced Star Wars trilogy from Rian Johnson or the movie pitched by Marvel head Kevin Feige. 

We don't know if and when this project might happen, especially with Lucasfilm previously saying they will concentrate on TV shows. But if this movie does push through, it could answer some questions left by the last Star Wars film, The Rise of Skywalker.

Microsoft to finally redesign Windows 10 icons

It's long overdue, but Microsoft is finally refreshing the icons on Windows 10. It should be coming to the core apps in the months ahead, starting with the Calendar and Mail apps. Those in the Release Preview for Windows Insiders can already see the new look for these two apps.

According to Microsoft's design team, they aim to break away from the colourless, flat-looking icons to make ones that match the company's branding. At the same time, their goal is to make it easier for you to spot these programs.
