DC Universe To Relaunch As Comics-Focused App Called DC Universe Infinite In January 2021
Friday, September 18, DC Comics announced that the DC Universe streaming service, which has provided digital comics and video content over the past 24 months, will become a comics-only service as the video content makes its way over to HBO Max. The service will be rebranded as DC Universe Infinite, which launches on January 21, 2021, with access to over 24,000 comics right away. Like Marvel Unlimited, it will have newer comics available six months after their initial publication. Furthermore, DC Universe Infinite will be available internationally in summer 2021. This is a good move given that the lack of international availability has been a huge criticism of the app.

Liam Neeson Defends 'Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace'
It seems as if the common consensus on whether Star Wars films are good or bad shifts like the wind. In 1980, when The Empire Strikes Back was released, fan reception of the film was actually fairly poor, with fans asserting that it was not "by any means as nice as Star Wars [A New Hope]" and criticizing many of the story and plot choices that were made. Now, however, Empire is one of the most beloved Star Wars films of all, and is now frequently hailed as one of the best, if not the best, in the series.

Images From 'The Mandalorian' Season 2 Teaser Trailer Featured on Disney+ App
This year has been difficult for Hollywood productions. Due to COVID-19, productions that had been filming or had been gearing up for filming were shut down back in mid March. All theaters were closed, forcing studios to postpone their highly anticipated blockbusters to later dates, including Marvel’s Black Widow and DC’s Wonder Woman 1984. Even Universal’s blockbuster sequel, Jurassic World: Dominion, and the live-action film based on the popular video game Uncharted, starring Spider-Man himself Tom Holland, were also halted.

Why Does Obi-Wan Kenobi Smile Right Before He Dies?
Last week, there was a Screen Rant article making the rounds that posed the question of why Obi-Wan Kenobi smiles right before he dies in the duel against Darth Vader in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. On the surface, it seems like an easy question to answer. Obi-Wan sees Luke, who has been built up as the hero for the future all throughout that film. Kenobi says to Vader, “If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.” We see how this plays out. Vader kills Kenobi, Kenobi becomes a voice from beyond who can guide Luke, and Luke becomes victorious. Pretty simple and straightforward.

The 'Star Wars' Hotel Is Still A Priority At Disney World
The year of 2020 is not making anything easier to anyone. Hollywood productions were shut down throughout the last several months due to the pandemic. Barely any of the major Hollywood productions are back in production, but at least one (The Batman) has been shut down again due to someone in the production being tested positive for COVID. This can happen with other productions. This pandemic is also affecting Disney World.
