• OFR would like to thank Larry Bluemanrule for guesting on the OFR 470 and for the awesome insight clip from Knoxxbroadcast
  • We apologize for the week off and website issues. Looking at another host for openforumradio.com 

• Dude, Executive producer Mary Olson takes over as creative lead on Halo Infinite Halo has got me all nervous now 343 Industries creative director Tim Longo has departed the company, around one year before the launch of the studio’s current major project, Halo Infinite. Tim Longo departs 343 Industries “These changes have no impact to the release date for Halo Infinite.” 
  • Two Halo characters are joining ‘Gears 5’

• Star Wars!! Not everything has to be a movie, but it can be a series Ewan McGregor is reportedly in talks to return to his iconic Star Wars role in an Obi-Wan Kenobi series for Disney’s Disney+ streaming service. If the series actually makes it to screens, it’ll mark the end of years of effort to get an   Obi-Wan movie made, and it will show how Disney intends to use its streaming service. 
  • Disney Plus: Preorders, launch dates, prices, movies and shows to expect 
    • The website offering a deep discount on Disney Plus has crashed, as people rush to get the deal 
  • Have you watched this more than 100 times? The Mandalorian | Official 
    • Is the Mandalorian Boba Fett? Here’s everything we know about the live-action Star Wars series starring Pedro Pascal 
      • Boba Fett wears Mandalorian armor, but isn’t a true Mandalorian. In summer 2018, Favreau revealed that the show will be set seven years after the Return of the Jedi (so six years after the Empire’s final defeat at the Battle of Jakku and 23 years before The Force Awakens) and will focus on all-new characters. The New York Times reports that its 10 episodes will enjoy a $100 million budget
  • Trailer | Disney+ | Streaming Nov. 12 100% Guaranteeing me a Disney+ subscription. 
  • Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser at Walt Disney World Resort
  • The BIG news: The Rise Of Skywalker trailer 

• Sony patent shows PlayStation 5 devkit – or maybe even the console itself   

• Sony, Spider-man and the Marvel Universe By Evan Lewis 20 hours ago  almost every story that comes out about these failed negotiations seems to make Sony look like the good guy. The corporation is trying their best to appease the executives at the House of Mouse by continually offering settlements that satisfy both parties. They even suggested that Disney could own 25% of the Spider-Man series going forward, as opposed to the 5% they used to have, which was promptly declined and countered with an egregious 50/50 split. 
  • Just How the Hell Does Sony Own the Spider-Man Movie Rights, Anyway? 

• Death Stranding, Gears 5, and Destiny 2: the best trailers of Gamescom 2019
  • Speaking of trailers…. Head Like a Hole: Gears 5 – Official Campaign Story Trailer 
    • Halo Reach and Terminator Dark Fate character packs

• NFL: 🏈 
  • The OFR FF draft!! https://fantasy.nfl.com/league/1790547 
  • Luck retires out of nowhere
    • Jim Irsay surrendered his collectively bargained right to recoup a massive portion of unearned bonus money from Luck. Irsay’s gesture will allow the quarterback to keep the entirety of his remaining prorated signing bonus – $12.8 million – and another $12 million in guaranteed roster bonus money that was paid out to Luck six months ago. The move was first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Sunday.  If I was a Colts fan, I’d be upset. I would have asked for that money back. BS just letting the team know 2 weeks before the 1st game.
