Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker co-writer Chris Terrio believes The Last Jedi’s answers about Rey’s parentage were “too easy.” The young scavenger’s heritage was a topic that ran through the entirety of the sequel trilogy, with The Rise of Skywalker ultimately revealing Rey is the granddaughter of none other than Emperor Palpatine. As many have noted by now, that twist appears to be at odds with The Last Jedi, which posited Rey’s parents were two nobodies who sold her away for drinking money....

The companion iPhone app for Roku hardware was updated today with a complete visual overhaul that gives the app a brand new look on top of a few new features. In addition to the redesign pictured above, the updated Roku app will also now let you access Roku’s search feature to search for content across apps by movie, show, actor, or director right from an iPhone. Version 3.0 of the Roku app also includes a number of other fixes and enhancements, but the overall navigation of the app remains the same....

In an effort to further compete with the Apple TV, Roku has just updated its iOS app with a new AirPlay-like feature. Last fall, the app was updated with a new “Play on Roku” feature that let you beam music and photos to your TV, and now that feature has been further expanded upon to support videos. The process for videos works just as it does for music and photos. Within the app, tap the Play on Roku button and then the video menu to select something to play....

Product: Today we’re taking a look at a brand-new word game for iOS called 4Snaps. The premise of the game is like a cross between charades and Draw Something. You’re given a choice of three words. You have to pick one of these and then take four photos (“snaps”) to help the other player guess the word. The object is to see how many turns you can take in a row before someone misses the word....

Roblox has announced that they have more than 100 million active users playing per month. An online sandbox game engine created by the Roblox Corporation and released over a decade ago, Roblox struggled to gain popularity at first, but soon found itself with a small but dedicated community that seems to grow exponentially as the years go by. For the uninitiated, Roblox is less of a traditional game and more of a creation tool along similar lines as products like RPG Maker, Little Big Planet, and the recently released Super Mario Maker 2....

The New iPad Buyers’ Guide published by iLounge this week included a piece that speculated Apple might be working on a standalone camera product. While the story discussed the possibility of Apple working on a point-and-shoot iSight camera, iLounge clearly labeled it as speculation and simultaneously noted it received a tip claiming Apple is working on the project. It did not feel strongly enough in the source to run the story, but Jeremy Horwitz of iLounge sent out a tweet today noting once again that Apple is working on a standalone camera:...

Apple Pencil is fantastic as a digital stylus, but its minimal design creates the obvious question of “Where do I put the thing when I’m not using it?” for anyone that owns one. Belkin has a new solution that borrows from the traditional inkwell: Base for Apple Pencil. If you regularly use Apple Pencil with iPad Pro at your desk or want a nice solution for storing it when not in use, Base is worth checking out…...

The Zand is a desktop stand designed to be used with the iPad. It is constructed out of brushed aluminum. To use the stand, there’s no adhesives, clamps or hooks used to make the device stick to it. Instead it uses nanoparticle adsorption to keep the iPad in place. The base of the stand lifts the iPad a couple of inches off of the desk, so that it sits slightly higher at eye level, which makes it easy to see....

Rian Johnson doesn’t seem so sure about his new Star Wars trilogy right now. In November 2017, one month before Johnson’s The Last Jedi hit theaters, Lucasfilm officially announced the director would oversee an all-new film trilogy entirely separate from the Skywalker saga. Since that news broke, a lot has happened in the Star Wars universe, including The Last Jedi becoming one of the most divisive films of the decade (despite earning positive reviews and earning $1....

Apple CEO Tim Cook is in attendance at the event in Beverly Hills, California, which is being hosted by comedian Ricky Gervais.

I’m a hard sell when it comes to headphones. Sound quality comes before anything else, even though I haven’t ventured into the 4-figure headphone territory. As reference, I’ve owned AirPods, Oppo PM-3s, Sennheiser HD600s, and Audio-Technica M50x’s in the past. A trend you’ll see in my headphone selections are that I try to be as close to neutral frequency as possible – aside from the M50x’s which were a mistake as my first pair of headphones, but I’d rather not get into that....

Although Oscar Isaac wishes Poe and Finn were in a romantic relationship, he says it doesn’t happen in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. A fighter pilot for The Resistance, Poe Dameron (Isaac) first crossed paths with the First Order stormtrooper-turned rebel Finn (John Boyega) near the start of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. There was an immediate and palpable chemistry between the two characters when they met, and it only grew stronger over the course of the film....

When you’re in the company of Archie Andrews, the Riverdale sun shines just a little brighter. Pop’s milkshakes taste just a little sweeter. He’s one Disney princess dress away from having an entourage of singing little birdies. Archie is the golden boy of Riverdale. He’s an all-star athlete, possesses a chiseled rack of abs, and seems to have a cat’s nine lives as the boy has more enemies than Riverdale has maple trees....

Greg Berlanti, aka the god of the CW, has given fans a lot to be grateful for. Riverdale, his reimagining of the classic Archie Comics is a major hit, as it gives us fresh twists on the iconic characters we grew up with and thrilling stories shrouded in darkness. But Riverdale isn’t perfect by any stretch. Viewers have bemoaned the bloated seasons, random sex scenes set to overly synthesized pop music, and the lackluster musical numbers....

Various reports and rumors over the past several months have indicated that the iPhone 12 will not include a charging brick or wired EarPods in the box. A new leak today claims to show how Apple will redesign the iPhone 12 packaging to reduce its overall footprint. The leak comes via Concepts iPhone, which says the image is from a “really reliable source.” What appears to be showcased here is that the iPhone 12 will be including a Lightning to USB-C cable wrapped up in the box, with a smaller cutout for the small iPhone booklet and (hopefully) Apple stickers....
