Obi-Wan Kenobi Series Will Be Six Episodes; New Timeline Details
New details about the Obi-Wan Kenobi series recently emerged, as Ewan McGregor revealed that the Disney+ show will consist of six hour-long episodes.
McGregor shared the information with Men’s Journal, though he admitted that he wasn’t allowed to tell them anything about the series, he seemingly couldn’t resist letting this slip, as he explained that he had been keeping the series a secret for a lot longer than people realise.
“It’s a f***ing massive relief,” he told the publication. “Because for four years, I’ve been having to lie to people about it.”
Ahead Of Pokemon Sword & Shield, Get A Free Mewtwo For Let’s Go Pikachu & Eevee
Pokemon Sword and Shield launch on Nintendo Switch in less than a month, but in the meantime, The Pokemon Company is giving away a few Legendary Pokemon for the series’ most recent entries. In addition to the free Shiny Solgaleo and Shiny Lunala that are available now for Pokemon Sun and Moon, The Pokemon Company has announced it will soon distribute a free Mewtwo in the US for last year’s Pokemon Switch games, Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee.
The Mewtwo distribution kicks off on November 4 and runs until November 14–the day before Pokemon Sword and Shield launch. To claim the Legendary, you’ll first need to download the Pokemon Pass app on your phone and head to a participating Best Buy store, where you’ll be able to scan a special QR code that will give you a download code for the Pokemon.
This free Mewtwo is fairly standard; it isn’t Shiny and doesn’t know any exclusive or rare moves. Still, since only one Mewtwo is available to catch in the Let’s Go games, this is a good chance to add another one to your collection. The Pokemon comes at level 70 and knows the following four moves:
- Amnesia
- Psychic
- Teleport
- Recover
Once you’ve received a download code for the Mewtwo, you’ll need to input the code via the Mystery Gift feature to download it. You can read more details about the distribution on the official Pokemon website.
As previously mentioned, players can also pick up a free Shiny Legendary Pokemon right now for the series’ Gen 7 3DS games. That distribution runs until November 10. Those in the US can get the Legendaries by going to a participating GameStop store and scanning the special QR code that’s on display using the Pokemon Pass app. You can see all the other free gifts still available for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon in our roundup.
Pokemon Sword and Shield launch on Switch on November 15, and a few free Pokemon have already been announced for the games. If you have save data of Let’s Go Pikachu or Eevee on your Switch, you’ll be able to receive a free Pikachu or Eevee that’s capable of Gigantamaxing. Everyone who picks up a copy of Sword or Shield by January 15, 2020 will also be able claim a free Meowth that’s able to Gigantamax.

Destiny 2 Festival Of The Lost PSA: Be Careful With That Halloween Candy
The annual Destiny 2 Halloween event Festival of the Lost begins next week, but ahead of the event Bungie has issued a few warnings about how to claim your tricks and treats safely. The two event rewards, Candy and Chocolate Strange Coins, should be handled with care.
“While we await the festival’s return, we’d like to forewarn players about earning and deleting Candy and Chocolate Strange Coins,” reads a note in Bungie’s weekly update. “In order to earn these currencies, players must wear the Masquerader’s Helmet, purchasable from Eva Levante for 100 Glimmer. If players defeat enemies and complete activities without this helmet equipped, they will not earn Candy or Chocolate Strange Coins.
“Furthermore, players should be cautious when dismantling any items in their Consumables inventory. Any instance of dismantling Candy or Chocolate Strange Coins, intentional or otherwise, will delete the entire stack.”
The event will start on October 29 and includes special activities and rewards. You can take on the returning Haunted Forest–a spooky version of Mercury’s Infinite Forest–to get as far as you can in 15 minutes, face off against super-tough Terror enemies, and complete special bounties. Those activities will earn you Chocolate Strange Coins that you can trade for masks, which this year manifest as helmet ornaments. The event will also offer special Eververse rewards, like spooky glow-skeletons, and clearing out the Haunted Forest will earn you a Braytech Werewolf auto rifle.
Festival of the Lost will be open to all players, including those jumping in to the new free-to-play First Light edition of the game. The same day will also see the introduction of a new Exotic quest.

Doctor Sleep Director Is Working With Stephen King on Further Adaptations
Mike Flanagan, the director of Doctor Sleep and creator of The Haunting of Hill House, is currently in talks with Stephen King about adapting another one of the legendary author’s works.
Talking to IGN, Flanagan revealed that he is currently engaged in “robust” discussions with the author of The Shining and Doctor Sleep. “I’ve been talking with Stephen King about what we can do next,” said Flanagan. “And being the fan that I am of his, there are so many of his books that I would love a chance to adapt. So it’s been about ‘Which one do you want to do next?’ We’re having robust conversations about what that could be. We have a plan and we’ll see.”
If that plan comes to fruition, this will be the third Stephen King book that Flanagan will have adapted. Prior to this year’s Doctor Sleep. Flanagan directed 2017’s Gerald’s Game, based on King’s 1992 novel.
