Rose Tico Actress Kelly Marie Tran’s Film ‘The Wedding Banquet’ Fails to Make $1 Million at Box Office After She Publicly Trashed Star Wars Fans
Just weeks after actress Kelly Marie Tran publicly lambasted the Star Wars fandom while promoting her latest film, The Wedding Banquet, the movie has underperformed at the box office, opening to less than $1 million in ticket sales for its first weekend.

Oblivion Remaster Sparks Backlash After Bethesda Replaces Male and Female With ‘Body Types’ — Modding Community Strikes Back
Bethesda’s re-release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is stirring more conversation for its character creator than its graphical updates thanks to the addition of “body types.” The remaster, which launched this week, quietly removes traditional gender options—male and female—in favor of the vague labels “Body Type 1” and “Body Type 2.” There’s no explanation in-game, and the terms appear to be stand-ins for the previous sex-based selections in some kind of an attempt to pander to gender politics.

Explosive Leaked Clip Confirms Sweet Baby Inc. Pressured Developers to Submit to Narrative Demands
In a revelation that confirms years of speculation, a leaked clip from a Sweet Baby Inc. internal discussion has surfaced, showing narrative designer Camerin Wild describing how a development studio was repeatedly pressured into changing the identity of its characters until it relented.

But fast forward to 2025’s Star Wars Celebration in Japan, and the only thing Lucasfilm delivered was awkward silence.
