You Have Some Homework To Do To Make The Most Of Star Wars Zero Company

You Have Some Homework To Do To Make The Most Of Star Wars Zero Company https://ift.tt/NmzkMQw Star Wars Zero Company takes place right at the end of The Clone Wars, my favorite period in Star Wars' huge timeline. That conflict begins with the Battle of Geonosis in Attack of the Clones and concludes with the deaths of the Separatist leaders in Revenge of the Sith, but a vast majority of the galaxy-spanning war is covered in the seven seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. As such, Zero Company makes several references to the earlier seasons of the TV show that debuted in 2008. The biggest one, of what I've seen of the game so far anyway, comes right at the start of the story: Protagonist Hawks was made the scapegoat for a battle that went very wrong while working under General Pong Krell.

Barbie's Ryan Gosling On The "Hypocrisy" Of Ken Haters: "You Never Cared"

Barbie's Ryan Gosling On The "Hypocrisy" Of Ken Haters: "You Never Cared" https://ift.tt/6HZ78sr

When Barbie was introduced in 1959, she was sold by herself, but her greatest accessory wouldn't hit the market until a year later: Ken.

A man without an identity of his own, Ryan Gosling, who plays the main Ken in the upcoming Barbie movie really wants you to care about Ken.

"Ken...his job is beach," Gosling told GQ, explaining who Ken is to him. "For 60 years, his job has been beach. What the f--- does that even mean? And everyone was fine with that, for him to have a job that is nothing. But suddenly, it's like, 'No, we’ve cared about Ken this whole time.' No, you didn’t. You never did. You never cared. Barbie never f---ed with Ken. That's the point. If you ever really cared about Ken, you would know that nobody cared about Ken. So your hypocrisy is exposed. This is why his story must be told."

Director Greta Gerwig has already said that Ken's creation is sort of a reverse Adam and Eve story in the Book of Genesis. Much like Barbie, Ken is malleable but is almost a worshipper of Barbie and everything she is. Gerwig said that she cast Gosling in the role because of a quality he has about never judging the characters. "He doesn't try and make you know that Ryan Gosling knows that this is silly. He does it in a way that takes on all of the potential humiliations of the character as his own."
