Everyone's favorite rogue is getting his own season in Star Wars Battlefront 2 starting today. The season adds new locales and skins, game modes, and various tweaks and bug fixes--because if there's one thing Solo knows, it's making a lot of special modifications. For starters, the update adds the Jabba's Palace map as an iconic location that Han never actually saw, because he was frozen in carbonite and then mostly blind. But his friends were there in the opening act of Return of the Jedi , which means we'll get Lando Calrissian dressed as a Skiff Guard and Leia Organa debuting a legendary Appearance as the bounty hunter Boussh, scrambled voice and all. These can be purchased with in-game Credits or the premium currency Crystals, as re-introduced in Night on Endor . A new permanent game mode is being added called Hero Showdown, which pits players in two-on-two Hero vs. Villain battles. The season also adds Starfighter Custom Arcade, giving you more opportunity t...

As is standard with modern comic book movies, Deadpool 2 includes a bonus scene during the credits as a special treat for fans. According to the writers of the film, though, it's not the scene originally shot for the end of the movie. However, the initial plan just didn't sit well with audiences when tested. According to Rhett Reese, one of the movie's writers, the Merc with a Mouth was going to use Cable's time travel abilities in one very interesting way. "Deadpool goes back and kills baby Hitler at the very end. That's what was supposed to happen," he tells UpRoxx . "We shot it and we put it in front of an audience. He's got the crib and he's standing in the German nursery and he's leaning over the crib to do it and there was kind of this, 'ohhhhh.' And we thought we don't want to leave the crowd on an 'ohhhhh.' So it ended up coming out." He continues, "Our last moment was Deadpool saying 'Maximum e...

How Krypton is freeing itself from decades of Superman mythology The arrival of Krypton on Syfy comes at a time when comic book TV is redefining classic superheroes that have been the focus of attention for almost a century. Whether it's the way Gotham is tackling the Batman mythos or the continuously growing universe of heroes on Arrow and The Flash , it's anything but business as usual for DC comics on TV. That's what makes Krypton so interesting. While it tells the story of Superman's family and his home planet, it's set generations before the Man of Steel is even born. While it may sound like that makes for a boring story given fans know Superman's story goes, this is a show that's not really concerning itself with comic book canon thanks to the arrival of a time-traveling Adam Strange (Shaun Sipos). GameSpot spoke with the cast of Krypton during a group interview to discuss the ways it deviates from Superman's typical canon and what it mea...

Cobra Kai loves paying tribute to The Karate Kid Now that Cobra Kai is out and the world has had a chance to watch it on YouTube Red, it's clear that the soul of The Karate Kid movie franchise is alive and well in this sequel series. Set over three decades after the first showdown between Daniel LaRusso and the villainous Cobra Kai dojo, the show pays tribute to the legacy of the films in smart ways that are sure to make any fan smile. Throughout Season 1 of Cobra Kai , there are not just mentions of The Karate Kid in flashbacks, but the story is structured in a way that the film is on your mind constantly--and that's a good thing. Given how seminal a movie The Karate Kid is, to not only fans but the stars who now reprise their roles on the show, it's important to pay respects to what came before. Still, it's a fine line to walk between properly paying tribute and flat-out copying without bringing anything new to the table. Thankfully, Cobra Kai relies on the fo...
