Welcome
back
to
the
week
that
was
in
io9's
coverage
of
the
latest,
and
greatest,
in
pop
culture
news.
It’s
been
a
busy
week,
as
the
highly
anticipated
new
trailer
for
Deadpool
&
Wolverine
brought
with
it
oodles
of
insight
and
analysis
on
its
comic
book
connections—but
that’s
not
all.
Check
out
the
other
big
stories
we
explored
this
week
that
you
might
have
missed,
from
Bluey’s
future
to
a
fateful
Star
Wars
anniversary.
Check
it
out!

If
viewers
felt
that
after
the
28-minute Bluey
finale
“The
Sign”—and
its
unannounced
season
three
coda
episode
“Surprise,”
which
dropped
on
Disney+
last
night—that
there
was
a
sense
of
finality
to
the
beloved
animated
series,
it
was
in
a
way
intentional.

The
cover
of
Star
Wars:

Last
Command
by
Timothy
Zahn.

Arguably
the
most
important,
game-changing
event
in
the
history
of
Star
Wars
storytelling
happened
10
years
ago
today.
On
April
25,
2014,
Lucasfilm
announced
that
the
Star
Wars
Expanded
Universe
was
being
pushed
aside.
All
future
storytelling
would
be
part
of
the
same,
cohesive
canon,
and
the
EU
stories
fans
knew
and
loved
over
the
years
would
become
disconnected
“Legends.”

Our
first
look
at
Deadpool
&
Wolverine
earlier
this
year
leaned
heavily
on
the
merc’
with
a
mouth’s
official
arrival
into
the
Marvel
Cinematic
Universe—as
its
would-be
savior.
But
of
course,
Wade’s
not
the
only
guy
in
the
title
this
time,
so
it’s
fitting
that
our
latest
look
gives
us
a
little
more
to
sink
our
claws
into.

Fallout’s
delightful
fun
first
season
dropped
all
eight
episodes
on
Prime
Video
at
once,
meaning
if
you
started
watching
it
when
it
arrived,
you’ve
no
doubt
reached
the
end—and
are
longingly
pining
for
season
two’s
arrival.
Since
that
is
at
least
a
year
away,
and
probably
longer,
here
are
10
movies
to
watch
now
that
keep
those
violent,
dystopian,
post-nuclear
war,
“we
survived...
but
are
we
really
glad
about
that?”
vibes
going.

Deadpool
&
Wolverine’s
new
trailer
yesterday
didn’t
really
give
fresh
details
on
what
the
film’s
going
to
be
about,
beyond
the
vague
threat
of
multiversal
shenanigans
and
Wade
and
Logan’s
team-up.
But
it
did
give
us
our
first
really
good
look
at
one
of
the
several
villains
the
movie
is
playing
with—and
one
of
the
most
infamous
antagonists
in
X-Men
comics.

Kermit
the
Frog
singing
“Rainbow
Connection”
over
almost
anything
and
people
are
going
to
get
emotional.
But
when
you
put
it
over
a
documentary
about
the
man
who
created
Kermit,
with
footage
of
them
both
together,
then
it’s
a
surefire
shot
to
the
tear
ducts.
