Up until *Brand New Day* came along, the seventh *Star Wars* film was the only movie to ever crack $900 million in North America — a record that I thought was virtually untouchable. Welp, *Brand New Day* touched that milestone in just 47 days, fueled by a record $360.1 million opening weekend back in late July and early August.

The legacy sequel grossed an impressive $30 million, returning to the top of the box office for the first time since the original film premiered almost three decades ago with $13.1 million.

I joined Eric Geller and Haley Byrd Wilt to dive deep into the *Ahsoka* trailer released at last month’s D23\. The vibes around Season 2 aren’t great ...

NBC announced on Wednesday that Saidah Belo-Osagie and Grace Reiter have joined the cast. *SNL* has also promoted Ashley Padilla and Jane Wickline to the show’s regular cast. The addition of Belo-Osagie and Reiter brings *SNL’*s cast back to 17, the same number the show started with last season. The two new cast members basically replace Bowen Yang, who left during the season, and Chloe Fineman, who left after Season 51 ended.

Even if the fast food restaurant doesn’t officially recognize the existence of a meal after dinner anymore, I still found myself ordering everything new on the Taco Bell menu for delivery while I was watching the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night. Taco Bell’s big release this week was Gordita Crunch Duos, available in steak or slow-roasted chicken. But as the chain often does, Taco Bell snuck several other new items onto the menu, leading me to add the Diablo Ranch Crispy Chicken Crunchwrap Slider, the Creamy Chipotle Crispy Chicken Crunchwrap Slider and Diablo Ranch Steak Nacho Fries to my order.

But that doesn’t mean Hershey’s isn’t looking for new ways to elevate its chocolate. (I’m still waiting for the Hershey’s Dubai-Inspired Chocolate Bars to become a regular item.) That’s where the chocolatier’s Hershey’s Creme Bars come into play.
