Key Takeaways

    Audience giveaways return: each trivia answer right means another T-shirt up for grabs.

    Andor keeps its political edge; episode pacing feels slow yet purposeful earning an A- grade.

    Bethesda’s Oblivion Remastered modernises visuals but crashes push it to a solid 8/10.

    Expedition 33 surprises with reactive turn-based battles and near-flawless performance for a 9/10 score.

    WrestleMania 41 delivers crowd-pleasing twists, though overall hype falls to 7/10.

    Celebration reveals: Rory McCann replaces the late Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll, Admiral Ackbar joins the fight against Thrawn, Hayden Christensen cameo confirmed, and a Darth Maul animated series is on the way.

    Network highlight: Disney Moms Gone Wrong is back on May 11.
