The Morning Watch: ‘Star Wars’ Blips, Hidden Meaning In ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2’ & More

In this edition, a series of animated shorts called Star Wars Blips feature Porgs and BB-8’s evil droid nemesis BB-9E. Plus, watch an alien from the future named Garyx Wormuloid review Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and go behind the scenes of Netflix’s adaptation of Death Note to learn more about the demon Ryuk.
The official Star Wars YouTube channel has been releasing animated shorts featuring Star Wars characters. Ever since Force Friday II arrives on September 1st, they’ve featured a couple Star Wars: The Last Jedi characters, including the First Order droid BB-9E not getting along with BB-8 (above) and the adorable little Porgs hopping around the Millennium Falcon and being blown away by hyperspace travel over here.
Netflix’s new original movie Death Note, an adaptation of the anime and manga of the same name, is available to stream now. But if you don’t know much about it, you can watch this featurette about the demon Ryuk at the center of this twisted tale about a diary that has the power to kill whoever’s name is written inside it. But beware, there’s a gruesome decapitation early-on in this featurette with blood splattering and everything.
