Whatever your feelings are about the prequel trilogy, it has to be admitted that one particular event was highly anticipated: Order 66. Those stories have been a topic of interest since "Ben" Kenobi talked about how Darth Vader hunted down and destroyed the Jedi Knights." As important as Anakin Skywalker's turn to the dark side was, the near-extinction of the Jedi was just as crucial to the rise of the Empire. Now, according to a new book, we know why.

This phrase appears in Matthew Stover's Revenge of the Sith novelization: "The Clone Wars were the perfect Jedi trap. By fighting at all, the Jedi lost." It goes on to explain that "each Jedi is alone, surrounded only by whatever clone troops he, she, or it commands." Order 66 proved the effectiveness of this scheme.

Order 66 represents a tragic yet pivotal moment in the development of George Lucas’ Star Wars universe. This event connected the Prequel Trilogy to the Original Trilogy and ultimately defined the franchise.
It marked the culmination of Palpatine’s schemes, leading to the destruction of the Jedi Order, the rise of the Empire, and the fall of the Galactic Republic.
While most Jedi were killed, some managed to escape and go into hiding. Initially, it was believed that only about 1% of the Jedi survived, but it was later confirmed that approximately 200 Jedi lived, which is double the original estimate.
However, our focus here is on how so many Jedi managed to survive.
Palpatine designed his plan to be foolproof. The Clone Troopers were expected to follow his orders without question and eliminate the Jedi. While some clones failed and were defeated, that is not the only reason for the Jedi’s survival,...

A tragic yet crucial turning point in the development of George Lucas’ Star Wars universe was Order 66. It was a turning point that linked the Prequel Trilogy to the Original Trilogy and defined the entire franchise.
This moment marked the pinnacle of Palpatine’s schemes, which brought about the dissolution of the Jedi Order, the creation of the Empire, and the collapse of the Galactic Republic.
While the majority of Jedi perished, some lived and fled into concealment. For a long while, it was thought that about 1% of the Jedi survived, although it was later confirmed that the number was about 200 Jedi, which is double the original estimate. But that is not what interests us here.

The stellar video game adaptation that is "Fallout" has finally arrived on Prime Video. The show presents an immersive alternate future that feels akin to the games while weaving a whole new wasteland-based tale. One of the "Fallout" series' great strengths is the depth of its in-game world, which lends itself to telling multiple stories from numerous characters' perspectives. Each game in the series, which kicked off with 1997's top-down RPG "Fallout," tells a different story set in a retrofuturist alternate reality where the world was decimated by nuclear war in 2077. The games have been set across this post-apocalyptic U.S., from Appalachia to Vegas, and feature a different protagonist each time.
The streaming series is canon with the "Fallout" games, and takes a similar approach, debuting characters and a narrative that are completely original creations while depicting the unique wasteland of the games in vivid detail. Jonathan Nolan, who...

Drummer Charlie Benante breaks down the Pantera classic “Walk” in a new video for Drumeo (watch below).
Benante, the longtime and still current drummer for Anthrax, joined Pantera in 2022 as part of the legendary metal act’s revamped reunion lineup. He’s had the difficult task of filling the shoes of the band’s late drummer, Vinnie Paul.

The veteran metal drummer begins his analysis of Vinnie Paul’s drum parts in “Walk” with the intro fill, which comes in after the first rounds of guitar riffs. The subtle complexities of the rhythm section become immediately apparent when Benante plays — for example — the opening fill slightly fast, showing that it doesn’t work.
“It sets up the groove a lot better, for me, if I don’t rush into it,” he said before playing it at the correct speed.

"Star Wars" is filled with memorable side characters, weird little guys who populate the galaxy and make it feel like a massive, lived-in place, where everyone has a story to tell.
Take the fan-favorite pirate Hondo Ohnaka. He was first introduced in "The Clone Wars," and named after "Godzilla" director Ishiro Honda and actor Seiji Onaka. Hondo was something the movies had alluded to but not actually shown — a pirate scoundrel. Sure, we'd seen parts of that lifestyle, like with Lando and Boba Fett, but the latter had barely any lines or anything to do and the former didn't do much piracy. Hondo, on the other hand, was introduced as a resourceful scum, a guy willing to work with anyone on any side as long as there was profit. At one point he kidnapped Count Dooku (which not even the Republic managed to do), as well as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker,...

“When I was a kid, there was a gangster, real old school type,” recalls Oswald Cobblepot at the start of the trailer for The Penguin. Anyone who has seen a gangster flick before recognizes that kind of talk. Henry Hill, Tony Soprano, Michael Corleone — wiseguys love to wax poetic about the past.
It’s no secret that the classic Batman villain was a highlight of 2021’s The Batman, with director Matt Reeves taking a more grounded approach to the bird-themed character that removed the bright colors and gimmicks. The Penguin’s storyline in the movie focused on his rise through the mob and his spinoff series will continue that tale of ascendance, as Cobblepot works to fill the void in the Gotham underworld left in the wake of Carmine Falcone’s death.
But the Penguin isn’t the only mobster from the comics who will appear or be referenced on this gangster show.

But the Penguin isn’t the only mobster from the comics who will appear or be referenced on this gangster show.

Invincible Season 2 Episode 6 decided to emulate some of Season 1 Episode 1, reminding the audience that this is not their grandfather’s superhero animated series. Out of all the shocking moments that came out of the season’s return was the brutal way in which the Guardians of the Globe were murdered, again, by the Lizard League of all people.
The New Guardians of the Globe in Invincible
As Dupli-Kate, Rex Plode, and Shrinking Rae stay back to defend the planet, all of the Gotg’s heavy hitters (plus Atom Eve and Invincible) head to outer space to clean up the mess that Shapeshifter created by impersonating an American astronaut. Needless to say, when trouble strikes on Earth, once again the Guardians of the Globe are ruthlessly slaughtered by the Lizard League. While Rex all but survives the ordeal, Dupli-Kate and Shrinking Rae are not so lucky.

Rex Sloan, a.k.a. Rex Splode, is one of the most obnoxious, obscene characters in Prime Video’s Invincible. If his double entendre name wasn’t an indicator, he has a gives-no-shits personality. The guy cracks abrasive, mocking jokes to his adversaries and teammates in Teen Team and The Guardians of the Globe. Rex cheats on his romantic partners and acts ballistic when he gets what he gives. Plus, compared to his counterparts, his powers are as useless as Aquaman’s. I mean, he’s Gambit but without the charm or cool cards.
Yet, in the opening episodes of Invincible season 2 part 2 “This Must Come as a Shock” and “It’s Not That Simple,” Splode received—wait, no, was handed—a significant bout of growth and humility through a gratifying arc unlike anyone else in the season, including Mark Grayson.

Throughout their adventures, members of Clone Force 99 have occasionally taken odd mercenary jobs for bounty hunters, smugglers, and space pirates, and very few among them have proven themselves to be as honorable as the members of the batch. In the eighth episode of the final season of Bad Batch, we take a look back at those days as Hunter and Wrecker are compelled to make a deal with one of the infamous bounty hunters with whom the team came into a conflicting course earlier. Previously, the team ventured to Teth on Clone Captain Rex’s request, as his Clone insurrectionists had apprehended an Imperial covert Clone operative whose target list included Omega. The team found themselves in trouble after another Clone operative was sent from Tantiss to kill the former one, who spotted Omega and informed Imperial forces about his findings. The majority of Rex’s Clone Troopers perished in...

This Star Wars: The Bad Batch article contains spoilers.
This week’s dual episode arc on Star Wars: The Bad Batch not only gave us a closer look at the mysterious clone assassins created by Dr. Hemlock, but also set up the future partnership between Captain Rex and Commander Wolffe we always knew was coming. Though they may initially be on opposite sides in these episodes, fans already know the two are destined to work together to fight the Empire on Star Wars Rebels, which is set a few years after The Bad Batch. But we’ve never actually seen the moment Rex and Wolffe decided to band together before their time on Rebels.

The Robert Kirkman-created show has gained acclaim over the course of its run for its witty storytelling and subversive parodying, and the second season is taking things up a notch. In the recently released episode, audiences see two characters, Dupli-Kate and Shrinking Rae, meet their demise. This has led several viewers to wonder whether their fate is sealed and if this is it.
If we flip through the pages of the comic series, one between the two seems to have been dealt the shorter end of the stick.

The universal brotherhood prevalent among the Clone troopers is one of the most unique aspects of Star Wars, which has contributed to a number of pivotal storytelling opportunities. Even aside from the Bad Batch, who share familial relations due to their unique origin, a bond connects all the Clones across the galaxy, irrespective of their allegiance. As the final season of Bad Batch reaches its midpoint with two episodes, Infiltration and Extraction, viewers are reminded of the connection with the return of a fan-favorite insurgent captain.
In the previous episode, after the long-awaited reunion, the eponymous team ventured to the planet Barton IV to learn about the location of the Imperial outpost in Tantiss, and while making amends with a tragic past, Crosshair strengthened his bond with Hunter. With their prime objective to free the captive, experimented-on Clones from Tantiss, the Bad Batch is still in search of the location of the planet,...

This article contains spoilers for "Star Wars: The Bad Batch" season 3, episode 6 and episode 7, "Infiltration" and "Extraction."
This week brought two brand new episodes of "The Bad Batch," a larger story in the context of the season's overarching narrative. Though the Bad Batch features prominently in these two episodes, dozens of other Clones take center stage as we learn that Captain Rex has been building an entire cadre of Clones to fight the Empire. Rex has even managed to catch one of the mysterious Clone sleeper agents created by the Empire alive. Unable to get any information out of him, however, Rex and his crew have no idea there's a homing beacon inside the Clone, leading the Empire right to them.
Meanwhile, the Bad Batch answers Rex's call, unaware they're being hunted as well. As more and more Clones on both sides of the conflict arrive at Rex's secret hideout,...

Almost 20 years later, Order 66 — where all the Jedi were suddenly labeled as traitors and thus subject to execution — remains one of the biggest moments of all of "Star Wars". Since the very first "Star Wars" film we'd heard about the Jedi being hunted down — but when it finally happened, it was worse than fans could have imagined.
It is a tragic and harrowing scene that shows several Jedi killed, not by Vader himself or some formidable Sith enemy, but by the very soldiers the Jedi fought alongside. It remains one of the coolest things George Lucas has ever done, and a scene that only got better and more tragic as "The Clone Wars" expanded the relationship between Jedi and clone trooper during the war.
We saw the two groups bond throughout the war, becoming not just allies, but friends. This is particularly true of Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka's squads.

Prehistoric creatures don’t come much more iconic than the Tyrannosaurus rex. There’s a reason why it’s called the “king”—the giant Cretaceous carnivore has been capturing people’s imaginations for over a century, cementing itself in pop culture in the early 1990s thanks to a scene-stealing performance in Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park. So, recreating the T-Rex for Life on Our Planet was no mean feat. “It’s possibly the most charismatic animal that’s ever lived,” says the series’ lead scientific researcher, Dr. Tom Fletcher. “And in many people’s eyes, it’s the most impressive animal that’s ever lived as well.

Earlier this year, we heard that Tim Blake Nelson and Vera Farmiga (The Conjuring) would be starring in The Leader, a true crime biopic about a story that shocked the world back in 1997, the mass suicide of the members of the Heaven’s Gate cult. Now Deadline reports that Michael C. Hall (Dexter) and Grace Caroline Currey (Shazam! Fury of the Gods) have joined the cast, which also includes Simon Rex (Red Rocket).
Farmiga will be playing cult leader Bonnie Nettles, a.k.a. Ti. Nelson’s character is the cult’s infamous frontman, Marshall Applewhite, a.k.a. Do. According to Deadline, “Hall will play a key devotee: a wealthy addict who attempts to win favor with Applewhite by financially supporting the cult with his trust fund. Currey will play an Oregon-based boutique owner who drops out of society in the late 1970s to join the cult – leaving her family and fiancé behind.

Soap characters can be fickle, but Sarah Horton takes it to extremes.
She hated Xander so much that she didn't want him to know he was baby Victoria's father. Then she forgave him when she learned Susan was alive. But that only lasted five minutes because she learned he had filed a custody suit.
Sarah's ever-changing mood toward Xander on Days of Our Lives during the week of 10-16-23 gave me whiplash, but could this be part of a story about post-partum depression?
Days of Our Lives doesn't have a great track record with mental health storylines. So even if Sarah's moods did have to do with post-partum issues, we can't expect a realistic story out of this.
We've already got Sloan suggesting that post-partum hormones could trigger a relapse of Sarah's drug-induced delusion that she is Renee Dumond, and that's probably the only mention we'll get of that issue.

Rex, part of Zinc Media Group, will produce the series for Nat Geo. It follows the students of the U.S. Navy’s most elite fighter pilot program, which was popularized by the blockbuster films “Top Gun” and “Top Gun: Maverick” starring Tom Cruise.

Gwen left Salem, but Emily O'Brien has taken over the role of Theresa Donovan. What do you think of the somewhat abrupt switch?
Kathy: It would have been a surprise change if we had not been warned by social media that it was happening. The crossing at the airport was clever, but I wish there had been a few days between Gwen's exit and Theresa's entrance.

Chloe was far from the only person leaving Salem this week.
Some actors might have left the series because of the issues with former producer Albert Alaar. Others might have been ready to move on.
But these exits are (mostly) good news. With few exceptions, the people who left Salem on Days of Our Lives during the week of 10-09-23 had come to the end of their stories.
Chloe hasn't had great stories for a while; she's bounced from one ex to another while her parents and son are in New York.
Her relationship with Xander was refreshing because she hadn't been with him before, but the writers wrapped that up quickly, so what was left for her?

Reba McEntire has (unserious) beef with Taylor Swift.
The 68-year-old country singer revealed while speaking to Today.com that she’s pretty jealous of Taylor‘s rumored romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce.
Keep reading to find out what she said…
“Oh, my gosh, I am so mad at her because I had a crush on him,” Reba said, jokingly. “Now I can’t have a crush anymore because he’s dating her.”
“I was so devastated,” she exclaimed, calling Travis her “boyfriend that cheated on” her.
The acclaimed musician is actually already in a relationship with actor Rex Linn, anyway. They’ve been seeing each other since 2020, and he knows all about the Taylor and Travis speculation.
Reba recalled, “When he and Taylor started dating, Rex said, ‘Your boyfriend’s got another girlfriend.’ I said, ‘Rub it in.’”
Although neither Taylor nor Travis has officially confirmed a romantic relationship,...
