Star Wars authors explain the tricky bits of expanding canon romance

But how does an author expand on an established love story without angering the fandom? The sequel trilogy faced the wrath of passionate Han and Leia fans after The Force Awakens revealed that the couple had split up, and their relationship was on shaky ground. It was obvious they still loved each other, but that didn’t make their breakup popular. The movie did, however, highlight an unfortunate issue for a franchise with many different cooks in the kitchen: Every new addition will taste bad to some fans, even if it’s scrumptious to others.

‘I was so tired’: Behind Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s beloved ‘whee whoo’ scene

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 writer Jennifer Svedberg-Yen would be the first to tell you: writing a video game is work . At least writing a novel is a one-person operation for most of the time. At least a screenplay for a film only needs to come in around 120 pages, unless you’re working for Martin Scorsese. But writing a video game?

Verso knows François to be a grump, but Esquie insists that “Franfran used to be all ‘Wheeee!’ But now he’s all ‘Whooo.’” Over about...

Pokémon Go Max Monday and Max Battle schedule for June 2025

Knowing the Max Battle schedule is useful if you’re looking to expand your inventory of Dynamax Pokémon in Pokémon Go . It does appear that Niantic will start rotating Pokémon in and out of Max Battles on a month-by-month basis, with some event Pokémon littered in. There are also Max Mondays, a weekly event similar to raid hour, where one Pokémon will show up more frequently in power spots from 6-7 p.m. That said, you’ll want a healthy amount of Dynamax Pokémon in your team if you choose to divulge in the feature, as only Dynamax Pokémon can participate in Max Raids. (So you’re pretty much catching Pokémon to help you catch more Pokémon.) Notably, if you’re just starting out with Max Battles, you should have a “To the Max!” Special Research set that starts you off with a Dynamax Wooloo. Below, we list the currently available Dynamax Pokémon that you can score from Max Battles in Pokémon Go . Pokémon Go Max Monday line up for June 2025 These Pokémon will show up in power spot...
