Hasbro's ‘Star Wars' SDCC Exclusive Is the Ultimate ‘Revenge of the Sith' Set
Dark side, light side, it doesn't matter. This year's Hasbro Star Wars exclusive at San Diego Comic-Con is certainly the chosen one, and we're going to take the high ground to acquire it. Celebrating 20 years of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Hasbro just revealed a six-inch Black Series set, exclusively for release at San Diego Comic-Con, of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi and their epic lightsaber duel over the lava on Mustafar.
Retailing for $110, the set will first be available at Hasbro's booth (#3213) during Comic-Con, which takes place July 24-27 in San Diego, CA. From there, a limited amount will usually go on sale at HasbroPulse.com. But what do you get for your money? Well, Anakin and Obi-Wan of course, each with lightsabers and interchangeable hands depending on which moment of the battle you want to display. The set is divided into multiple pieces too, allowing you several options of how you want to pose the characters. Here are some images.
Black Series is already the gold standard when it comes to Star Wars action figures, and seeing this massive moment in the franchise brought to life like this is incredibly exciting. Pop on John Williams' 'Battle of the Heroes,' and start acting out all your favorite lines: 'Anakin, my allegiance is to the Republic, to democracy.' 'If you're not with me, then you're my enemy.' 'Only a Sith deals in absolutes,' etc.
On the other hand, while the playset elements are undeniably detailed and nice, and these figures are a little more deluxe than your standard Black Series figures thanks to the interchangeable elements and whatnot, $110 does feel a tiny bit steep. That won't matter to most Star Wars fans but it's still a lot to pay for two figures and a few stands.
Nevertheless, Revenge of the Sith has never looked better and we fully expect Comic-Con attendees to go wild for this one. What are your thoughts?

Tennis Star Carson Branstine Turns Heads With Swimsuit Photo Ahead Of Wimbledon
Tennis Star Carson Branstine Turns Heads With Swimsuit Photo Ahead Of Wimbledon originally appeared on The Spun. Don't look now, but Carson Branstine is taking the tennis world by storm just in time for the 2025 Wimbledon Championships. Advertisement Branstine earned a spot in the main draw at Wimbledon by going on an impressive run during qualifiers. She started off her week by defeating French Open semifinalist Lois Boisson in a three-set thriller. That positive moment carried over into her next match against former US Open champion Bianca Andreescu. Though it's not much of a surprise, Branstine had another three-set thriller in her final qualifying match. This time around, she defeated Raluca Serban. If Branstine wants to make a run at Wimbledon, she'll have to take down the No. 1 player in the world on Monday. She's set to face Aryna Sabalenka in the opening around. The Canadian couldn't help but joke about their upcoming match. "Maybe one day I'll get a good draw LOL," Branstine wrote on X. Advertisement While defeating Sabalenka may seem unlikely, plenty of fans will be on her side.

(Photo by Marleen Fouchier/)For starters, Branstine has become somewhat of a star on social media. Back in May, the 24-year-old from California shared a few swimsuit photos that grabbed everyone's attention. "Stunning," one fan said after seeing these photos of Branstine. "So good," another fan wrote. "A bombshell has entered the villa," an Instagram user commented. Another reason Branstine will have fan support on Monday is because Sabalenka made some questionable remarks after her loss to Coco Gauff in the French Open final. Advertisement "I think it was more windy. Also I think I was over emotional. Today I didn't handle myself quite well mentally. Basically that's it," Sabalenka told reporters. "I was just making unforced errors. I don't know. I have to check the statistics. I think she won the match not because she played incredible. Just because I made all of those mistakes, if you look from the outside, from kind of easy balls." We'll see if Branstine can shock the world and defeat Sabalenka at Wimbledon.

New York City Pride parade 2025: Route, date, time and where to watch
As Pride Month draws to a close, cities across the U.S. are preparing for the final celebrations that punctuate the annual month of LGBTQ+ celebration. This weekend, June will go out with a bang with multiple highly anticipated parades that draw marchers and spectators to communities big and small. Pride Month commemorates the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York City, where subsequent protests are credited with a shift in LGBTQ+ activism in the U.S. Being the birthplace of Pride as we know it, New York City has one of the biggest and most iconic celebrations and marches each year. This year's theme is "Rise up: Pride in Protest," according to organizers. "As the LGBTQIA+ community faces increasing hostility and legislative attacks, this year's theme is a reflection of the Pride movement's origins in protest—and is a powerful call to action for our communities and allies to rally and march in defiant celebration, advocacy and solidarity," said Heritage of Pride. The NYC Pride March is scheduled to begin Sunday, June 29, at 11 a.m. ET. This year's parade route begins on 5th Avenue between 25th Street and 8th Street, according to the New York City Department of Transportation. Marchers will proceed south on 5th Avenue and walk west on 8th Street. After crossing over 6th Avenue, the March will continue on Christopher Street, passing the Stonewall National Monument. It will then turn north on 7th Avenue, passing the New York City AIDS Memorial, before dispersing in Chelsea at 16th Street and 7th Avenue. In-person viewing of the 2024 March will be available along the route streets listed above. Experienced Pride-goers suggest nabbing a spot along the main stretches early, as crowds can get thick. The yearly broadcast of the event is set to air on ABC7, ABC News Live and and on the ABC7 YouTube channel and will begin at noon.
