Have you been feeling like there’s just been too much Star Wars too soon? It might be a strange thing to complain about but if you’ve gotten used to seeing Star Wars films arrive at least a couple of years apart, the sudden yearly release might seem too much—especially if you feel like the films are subpar to what you’re used to. With Solo underperformance in the box office, Disney was reportedly considering changing its strategy when it comes to marketing and releasing Star Wars content. Now, Disney CEO Bob Iger confirms this plan with The Hollywood Reporter.
He said, “I made the timing decision, and as I look back, I think the mistake that I made — I take the blame — was a little too much, too fast. You can expect some slowdown, but that doesn't mean we're not going to make films. J.J. [Abrams] is busy making [Episode] IX. We have creative entities, including [Game of Thrones creators David] Benioff and [D.B.] Weiss, who are developing sagas of their own, which we haven't been specific about. And we are just at the point where we're going to start making decisions about what comes next after J.J.'s. But I think we're going to be a little bit more careful about volume and timing. And the buck stops here on that.”

Netflix is taking another stab at bringing a popular anime to life. The streaming service just announced it’s working on a live-action series of Avatar: The Last Airbender. According to the company’s See What’s Next Twitter account, it’s working on a “reimagined” take on the series. They teased concept artwork by John Staub and in a separate tweet announced that the original creators behind the series—Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko—will be working on the live action.
No other details yet have been released and fans are both excited and wary about the news. Live-action adaptations of popular anime don’t go over so well but fans are willing to give the new series a chance, especially with DiMartino and Konietzko onboard. What do you think? Is this something you’re excited to see or not?

Review: Samsung Galaxy Note 9For Galaxy Note 9 users who have no use for Samsung’s Bixby assistant, you might want to completely disable the Bixby button. Unfortunately, that option isn’t available on this phone. But a new update coming to Bixby will at least make it harder to accidentally activate the button. It’s quite easy to accidentally launch the assistant because its button is placed under the volume rocker.
Once you have the latest update, you can head to Bixby’s settings and select whether you want to launch the assistant by a single press or with a double tap. The latter lessens the chances of you accidentally launching Bixby since you’ll need to hit the button twice in rapid succession. If this is something you want and aren’t sure if your Bixby is updated, head to Settings > About Bixby and tap on the Update button.
