John Boyega Says Finn Still Is Not a Fan of Reylo
Back in 2019, Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker ignited a powderkeg of heated online debates among fans, many of which have laps like waves on the shores of Kef Bir to new discourse discussions about the franchise. Yet, one moment that offered a fleeting sense of satisfaction to a sect of viewers was the emotionally charged kiss between Rey and Kylo Ren–a victory for Reylo shippers that was swiftly undercut when Kylo dissolved into the Force mere seconds after locking lips. Now, six years removed from that silver screen kiss, actor John Boyega reaffirms he's still standing ten toes down on his stance that Finn wasn't a fan of their intimate moment. At C2E2, Boyega sat down with Josh Horowitz and answered a question from a Reylo fan about how Finn and Poe Dameron might have responded to Rey's relationship with Kylo Ren (F.K.A. Ben Solo) had he survived the film's ending. Before delivering his verdict, Boyega took a moment to frame the dynamic of Rey and Kylo through the lens of someone not entrenched in the world of Star Wars before ultimately settling on a firm no. 'I mean look, ladies in the room–straight ladies in the room–when he is pursuing you, him trying to kill you is not a part of the romance, okay. Chasing him and saying, 'We can become something powerful,' I'm there like, 'I wouldn't tell my sisters to do that,'' Boyega said. 'But that kind of reflects off of the spiritual element to Star Wars–the fact that she recognized the good and was fighting for it. But if I was Finn there, Finn should've had a line where he'd say, 'Girl, leave him be. Come home with me.' This isn't the first time Boyega has spoken his piece on Reylo's infamous kiss. Back in 2020, Boyega commented on an Instagram post poking fun at Ben Solo) being no mo, positing that Rey and Finn could get romantically entangled like they were hinted to be in The Force Awakens. Granted, Boyega's joke implied they'd have sex. Still, it was a joke all the same about made-up characters that was refreshingly candid given how restrictive and sanitized actors seem to be whenever they speak about anything Star Wars. Naturally, Boyega's innocuous comment devolved into vitriolic backlash, as Star Wars fans are wont to do (particularly with actors of color), who took the joke to mean he was actually jealous of the made-up character's relationship being endgame, as the kids say. Funnily enough, Boyega's remark comes a year after Rey actor Daisy Ridley shared her thoughts on the Reylo kiss. Speaking on Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast, Ridley revealed the smooch was a part of the film's reshoots. She also characterized the kiss as a fitting farewell for her to the franchise (at the time) that felt well-earned. 'I felt like we all… it felt earned, and what was interesting [was the] intentionality. My feeling in that moment was that it was a goodbye, so that felt earned,' Ridley told Collider. 'Because, I mean, you could call a kiss a thousand things, but I felt like it was a goodbye, and that whole scene felt so emotional. I felt like I was saying goodbye to the job.' Whether you loved or loathed Kylo Ren and Rey's kiss, fans can look forward to Rey Skywalker's grand return to the Star Wars universe in her upcoming film trilogy, where she'll embark on the herculean task of rebuilding the Jedi order. The only thing the Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy-directed film needs is an actual script from its smörgåsbord of writers and plenty of time to cook before we get any meaningful updates on its progress.

All Lightsabers in Fortnite and how to get them
Fortnite unleashed its much-anticipated Chapter 6 Galactic Battle season, featuring an electrifying Star Wars-themed crossover that has fans abuzz with excitement. Epic Games has transformed the battle royale island, pitting the iron-fisted First Order, under the command of Emperor Palpatine, against a band of heroic rebels. The latest season rolls out an exciting Battle Pass packed with iconic skins, including Poe Dameron, General Grievous, and a unique twist on Wookies. New map locations, such as Vader Samurai's Solitude and the First Order Base, draw players deeper into the Star Wars universe, while the ability to pilot X-Wings and TIE Fighters unleashes exhilarating aerial dogfights in the skies. Recommended Videos The loot pool, as well, has undergone a significant transformation, introducing iconic blasters such as the Mythic F-11D and Chewbacca's Wookiee Bowcaster, elevating the galactic combat experience beyond traditional weaponry. However, one legendary weapon's comeback has been highly popular, as Lightsabers make a triumphant return. Here's how to get them all. How to get Lightsabers in Fortnite Galactic Battle season To get your hands on a Lightsaber in Fortnite, the easiest method is to engage in training sessions with hologram NPCs like Rey, Emperor Palpatine, Mace Windu, or Darth Maul. Once the initial storm circle has closed, players will find holograms appearing at various locations, indicated by lightsaber icons on the map—blue for Rey, red for Palpatine and Maul, and purple for Windu. Engaging with these characters initiates a cinematic moment, pulling players into a rift where they emerge wielding a lightsaber and a distinctive Force ability. Rey typically roams the vicinity of the Resistance Base or Rebel Outpost, whereas Palpatine is usually spotted lurking around the First Order Base. Players have the option to take on Darth Vader at Vader's Samurai Solitude, a frosty locale nestled in the southwestern corner of the map. Taking down Vader and his formidable samurai guards opens the door for players to engage in conversation with him, rewarding them with his iconic lightsaber and a powerful Force ability following an intense rift sequence. In a final twist, players have the opportunity to snag lightsabers from fallen enemies. However, this approach comes with a catch: it lacks the accompanying Force abilities, which diminishes their overall effectiveness in combat. Lightsabers serve as legendary close-combat weapons, inflicting 40 damage with each swing. Players can execute a combo of two swings (40 damage each), three spin attacks (20 damage each), and a powerful slam that delivers a whopping 150 damage. These features not only allow players to block blaster shots but also enhance sprint speed and introduce the ability to perform a Force Jump, granting a double jump without the risk of fall damage. Every lightsaber variant is intricately linked to a unique character and their corresponding Force ability, which can be unleashed by hitting the shoot button while in a defensive stance. Here's an in-depth rundown of lightsabers and the unique powers they wield: The Jedi Padawan Lightsaber in blue, acquired from Rey's hologram, offers a unique ability: Force Push. This power unleashes a shockwave that can knock back foes and obliterate structures, though it doesn't deal direct damage and has a cooldown of 15 seconds. in blue, acquired from Rey's hologram, offers a unique ability: Force Push.

How to EASILY Travel Distance in an X-wing and X-Wing Location - Fortnite X-Wing quests offer valuable XP Epic Games has gone all out for this season's Star Wars crossover, integrating iconic features of the franchise into core gameplay. While cosmetic items and weapons have been part of previous events, this time players can take to the skies in the legendary X-Wing, giving a whole new meaning to Victory X-Wing is one of two flyable vehicles in the game, the other being the TIE Fighter. However, if you're aligning with the Resistance, the X-Wing is the craft to look for. Unlike random vehicle spawns, X-Wings appear in set locations - specifically Resistance-controlled locations include the Resistance Base and Outpost Enclave, along with multiple satellite outposts.

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 Battle Pass – every Star Wars outfit and emote you can unlock
Fortnite is back with a major new overhaul, thrusting players into the world of Star Wars with a heap of fresh cosmetics to unlock. The galaxy far, far away has come to the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 Battle Pass, stuffed with Star Wars-themed goodies for players to unlock. The new Star Wars -themed season of Fortnite has arrived, and there's little doubt that the season with a relatively short runtime will be a controversial one. In many ways, it is incredibly faithful to its intergalactic source material with meticulously designed Easter eggs and some excellent sound design, but the fact that every weapon on the island operates with cooldown rather than traditional ammunition is bound to upset the Fortnite elitists out there. It's a tough balance to strike as Epic Games attempts to lower its players as far into the world of Star Wars as possible, but it might not work for everyone's taste. What's exciting, though, is the current Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 Battle Pass, stuffed to the brim with skins, emotes and goodies for players to unlock, based on existing characters and twists on some Battle Royale favourites. Though it's shorter than the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 Battle Pass, it still comes in at seven pages of goodies to unlock, as well as some bonuses for those who can hold out until later on in the season and unlock everything before them. So, what's in store in the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 Battle Pass? Here's everything you need to know. Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 Battle Pass The Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 Battle Pass will run until Saturday, June 7 at 11am PDT / 2pm EDT / 7pm BST. It will cost you 1,000 V-Bucks (£6.99 / $8.99 / $11.95), or you can gain access via a subscription to Fortnite Crew. There are seven pages of standard rewards, two pages of bonus rewards, and two pages of this season's secret skin, General Grievous. Every Battle Pass Reward Here's everything in the core Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 Battle Pass: Page one Page two (unlocked with 2 claimed rewards or 5 levels) Sith Pairing Blades Pickaxe 100 V-Bucks Dark Legacy Loading Screen Sith Blasters Back Bling Training Remote Trail Contrail 100 V-Bucks Sith Apprentice Evie Outfit Page three (unlocked with 6 claimed rewards or 12 levels) Black One X-Wing Glider 100 V-Bucks Lil' Resistance Bomber Black Squadron Dive Contrail Black Leader Wrap Cantina Hangout Loading Screen Poe Dameron Outfit Page four (unlocked with 12 claimed rewards or 18 levels) S-Foil Scrapaxe Pickaxe 100 V-Bucks Poe's Model X-Wing Back Bling Targeting… Emoticon 100 V-Bucks Poe's Takeoff Loading Screen Resistance Poe Outfit Page five (unlocked with 19 claimed rewards or 26 levels) Mini Dogfight Emote Rebel Wookiee Lander Glider Wookiee Paw Pickaxe Wookiee Team Combat Loading Screen Where My Wookiees At? Jam Track 100 V-Bucks Wookiee Team Leader Outfit Page six (unlocked with 27 claimed rewards or 32 levels) Metal Team Mishap Back Bling Wookiee Fist Pickaxe 100 V-Bucks Desert Dust-Up Loading Screen Wookiee Team Leader Banner Icon 100 V-Bucks Tarfful Team Leader Outfit Page seven (unlocked with 35 claimed rewards or 40 levels) Force Lightning Emote Imperial Shuttle Dive Contrail 100 V-Bucks Palpatine's Cane Pickaxe Emperor's Might Wrap Senate Repulsorpod Glider 100 V-Bucks Emperor Palpatine Outfit Bonus Rewards There are two pages of Bonus Rewards in the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 Battle Pass, unlocked for the player once they have unlocked every item in the core pass. One page is visible right now, and the next will be unveiled on Thursday, May 15. The items currently on the page are: Imperial Holo Back Bling Poe Hammerin' Drums The Empire Strikes Emoticon Wookiee Rebel Wrap Sith Dominance Loading Screen Chancellor Palpatine Outfit Greivous Rewards There are two pages of rewards related to General Greivous set to arrive on Thursday, May 15, including an Outfit for the mechanical General of the Separatist army. The items are set to be revealed further down the line, though we have already seen an emote which sees the character unleash his two other arms to spin lightsabers over his head, so we can expect to see that when the cosmetics are revealed. That's everything you need to know about the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 Battle Pass! Though this season might be shorter, we have a lot more cosmetics to unlock in this window than we did last season, so make the most of it and get to unlocking. Because even though you probably won't use it, let's not pretend you don't want that Poe Hammerin' drum set.
