If you haven’t seen Star Wars: The Force Awakens yet, then I suggest you turn back now, because this new report about how the script changed from its inception to now will reveal a critical SPOILER. One of the major criticisms of the film was how convenient it was for the characters at the right place at the right time. The Force Awakens blends the old generation with the new, and what J.J. Abrams, Lawrence Kasdan, and Michael Arndt did was they had the characters from the old trilogy reprise their respective roles. Even the droids came back. But given that there is so much mystery wrapped around this film, we didn’t know how much of a role C-3PO or R2-D2 had. We hadn’t seen much of the droids except in the trailers, but now the writers are revealing R2-D2’s mystery role, as well as a few others. Again, SPOILERS ahead, so now is your chance to turn back. Check out what they had to say here below.

It goes without saying that if you haven’t seen Star Wars: The Force Awakens, this report will have some major SPOILERS, so if you haven’t seen the film then, then I suggest you turn back now before this report ruins it for you. Much like the film’s marketing, a lot of our reviews were spoiler-free so that everyone who didn’t get early screenings can experience the same joy of watching the film. But now, the cast and crew of the new film have been making more interview rounds where they reveal some behind-the-scenes information, as well as try to answer some questions that viewers have had since watching The Force Awakens. One character in particular was actually supposed to meet a completely different fate. Check out those details here below.

| Massive Metal Monday: Magic Circle “Ghosts Of The Southern Front”
Magic Circle may have been born in the wrong decade. The young Massachusetts band sound like they belong to the early ’80s New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Their epic arrangements, clean soaring vocals, and driving riffage calls to mind a cross between Iron Maiden, Diamond Head, and Dio era Sabbath. Continue below for a taste of the band in the form of the epic fifth track off their second full-length album Journey Blind, titled “Ghosts of the Southern Front.”

| Lengthy New ‘Firewatch’ Gameplay Demo
There’s a game on the way that I’m super excited about, and it’s titled Firewatch. It’s been around for a little while now, but unfortunately I haven’t had the chance to gush about it here on Geeks of Doom yet. Thankfully a brand new demo video has been released showing off 17 new minutes of gameplay action—and better yet, the footage is a continuation of the previous 17-minute gameplay demo that initially got me excited to play it. So instead of sharing only the new footage, you can read more about the game and find trailers and both 17-minute demo videos below for lots and lots and lots of gameplay goodness if you’ve not yet seen anything related to this one before.

A blizzard forces the quartet to take shelter at a stagecoach stopover called Minnie’s Haberdashery where they encounter four strangers: Bob “The Mexican” (Demian Bichir), Oswaldo Mobray (Tim Roth), Joe Gage (Michael Madsen), and ex-Confederate General Sanford Smithers (Bruce Dern). As the storm overtakes the mountainside shanty, the eight unsavory strangers realize they may not make it to Red Rock after all.
