The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer promises classic Star Wars adventure... and a weirdly buff Hutt

Mashable - Tue, 02/17/2026 - 15:54

The adventures of bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his adorable apprentice Grogu just got a lot bigger.

The pair jumps from TV to the big screen this year, headlining The Mandalorian and Grogu, the first Star Wars theatrical release since 2019's The Rise of Skywalker. The Mandalorian series creator Jon Favreau directed the film and co-wrote it with Lucasfilm president Dave Filoni.

The Mandalorian and Grogu sees the young New Republic recruiting Din and Grogu to take down the Imperial warlords still scattered across the galaxy. The film's latest trailer shows the pair in action, whether it's Din annihilating any guard who stands in his way, or Grogu taking down a droid with the Force. (And no, I still can't get over Grogu's precious little armor.)

The trailer also highlights some of the characters — both new and familiar — whom Din and Grogu will be crossing paths with. Sigourney Weaver plays New Republic pilot and colonel Ward, who appears to be responsible for bringing Din and Grogu into the fold. Steven Blum returns as the voice of Star Wars Rebels character Garazeb "Zeb" Orrellios, who also appeared in The Mandalorian Season 3.

Then, of course, there's the matter of The Bear star Jeremy Allen White as the voice of Jabba the Hutt's son Rotta. Do we actually hear White's Hutt voice in the trailer? No. But do we see a very buff Rotta tearing it up in a fighting pit? Yes. Consider me intrigued and mildly terrified by this big, beefy, Bear-y Hutt.

The Mandalorian and Grogu hits theaters May 22, 2026.

The internet mourns civil rights icon Jesse Jackson

Mashable - Tue, 02/17/2026 - 15:04

Tributes are pouring in for Reverend Jesse Jackson, Sr., who died on Tuesday aged 84.

The civil rights leader, Baptist minister, and founder of Chicago nonprofit Rainbow PUSH Coalition was a lifelong champion for social justice, human rights, and equality.

A key figure in the civil rights movement alongside Martin Luther King Jr., Jackson began with college sit-ins and demonstrations, and later ran as a Democratic candidate for president twice. He campaigned for equality and justice up to his eighties, demanding more equitability and diversity across society, including tech.

According to a statement issued by his family, Jackson died peacefully surrounded by loved ones, saying:

His unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and human rights helped shape a global movement for freedom and dignity. A tireless change agent, he elevated the voices of the voiceless from his Presidential campaigns in the 1980s to mobilising millions to register to vote - leaving an indelible mark on history.

Our father was a servant leader - not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world. We shared him with the world, and in return, the world became part of our extended family. His unwavering belief in justice, equality, and love uplifted millions, and we ask you to honour his memory by continuing the fight for the values he lived by.

According to the family statement, Jackson is survived by his wife, Jacqueline, children Santita, Jesse Jr., Jonathan, Yusef, Jacqueline, daughter Ashley Jackson, and their grandchildren.

The internet has also begun mourning Jackson's passing, with civil rights activists, politicians, celebrities, and more posting tributes.

Some had Shirley, others had Obama, but, Jesse was the beacon for so many of my generation, teaching us early on that perseverance has no limits and hope plus action are two of the greatest forces for change. Thank you, Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. May you rest in eternal peace and power.

Mashable - Tue, 02/17/2026 - 14:53

TL;DR: A six-pack bundle of Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy Play Boosters has dropped to $48.69 at Amazon, knocking 15% off the usual $56.99 list price.

$56.99 Save $8.30 Get Deal

Individual booster packs for trading card games like Magic: The Gathering can cost less when part of a bundled lot. As Feb. 17, a six-pack lot of Final Fantasy Play Boosters is down to $48.69 on Amazon, marking the lowest price we’ve seen for this bundle — as confirmed with price tracker camelcamelcamel.

A collaboration with the Final Fantasy franchise, this expansion pulls together characters, summons, and locations from all sixteen mainline games, letting players build decks around key moments from the iconic RPGs. Play Boosters are designed with Limited formats in mind, but they’re just as appealing if you’re cracking packs for collection value or hunting flashy pulls.

Like other MTG packs, each booster includes 14 cards, with a typical spread of 1-4 rares or higher, 3-6 uncommons, and 6-9 commons. Every pack also guarantees at least one Traditional Foil card, while foil borderless mythic rares show up in roughly 1% of boosters — a nice incentive for collectors chasing something special.

The Final Fantasy expansion is one of those Magic: The Gathering sets where prices on boosters have stayed fairly high due to larger demand vs. supply, with individual booster packs costing $11.02 each on Amazon at the time of writing. This lot would have saved you nearly $10 before Amazon’s latest price cut. With the added 15% discount, you’re now saving $17.43 compared to buying individually.

For more savings on MTG, you can still preorder the Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes Play Booster Box on Amazon at $20 off. What’s more, you can also get at least $10 off the Magic: The Gathering Aetherdrift Bundle on Amazon.

Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on February 17

Mashable - Tue, 02/17/2026 - 14:36

Tonight, the Moon has vanished completely, meaning we've reached the New Moon phase of the lunar cycle. With no features visible, the sky is completely dark tonight, but it also happens to be an annular solar eclipse, which occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth at its farthest point, too small to fully cover the Sun. The full eclipse will only be visible from Antartica, where parts of South Africa will be able to see a partial eclipse.

What is today’s Moon phase?

As of Tuesday, Feb. 17, the Moon phase is New Moon. According to NASA's Daily Moon Guide, 0% of the Moon will be lit up tonight.

When is the next Full Moon?

The next Full Moon will be on March 3. The last Full Moon was on Feb. 1.

What are Moon phases?

According to NASA, the Moon takes around 29.5 days to complete one orbit around the Earth. Throughout that time, it goes through eight different phases of visibility. Even though we always see the same side of the Moon, the part that’s lit up changes as it moves along its orbit. The amount of sunlight reflecting off the surface is what changes the Moon's appearance, and why sometimes it looks full, partly lit, or almost dark. The eight phases are:

New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.

The NYT Connections puzzle today is not too difficult to solve if you're an avid reader.

Connections is the one of the most popular New York Times word games that's captured the public's attention. The game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier—so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for today's Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

NYT Strands hints, answers for February 17, 2026

Mashable - Tue, 02/17/2026 - 14:29

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy if you love astrology.

Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

If you're feeling stuck or just don't have 10 or more minutes to figure out today's puzzle, we've got all the NYT Strands hints for today's puzzle you need to progress at your preferred pace.

The 4 critical specs for USB-C docks

How-To Geek - Tue, 02/17/2026 - 14:15

I've used basic USB hubs for years without thinking much about them. Plug it in, get a few extra ports, move on. But when I recently needed to upgrade to a USB-C dock to support external displays and charging, I ran straight into a wall of vague labels and half-answers. Everything claimed to be "USB-C," but that didn't tell me if my monitor would work correctly, if my laptop would charge properly, or if I was about to spend good money on something that technically worked but didn't actually do what I needed.

Stephen Colbert trolls Barack Obama over viral aliens interview

Mashable - Tue, 02/17/2026 - 13:16

Barack Obama's interview with the Associated Press has gone viral this week, after the former U.S. president engaged in a quickfire chat about alien life. "Are aliens real?" podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen asked. "They’re real," Obama answered. "But I haven’t seen them. And, they’re not being kept in Area 51."

You'd better believe Stephen Colbert noticed.

"That's it. We've got aliens!" the Late Show host said during his monologue on Monday night, before shunning Obama's attempt to clarify his statement on Instagram the next day.

"Booooooo! What happened to hope, buddy? This is why everyone likes Michelle better," joked Colbert. "Oh, you've seen the polls. Don't tell me you haven't seen the polling. I know you've seen the polling."

SEE ALSO: CBS refused to broadcast this Stephen Colbert interview. Here's how to watch it anyway

Then, it was time to get the tin-foil hats out.

"Now hear me out, ladies and gentlemen, I smell a big fat cover up," Colbert said. "Because Obama posted that clarification yesterday at 5:59 p.m. Eastern, when he was at the NBA All Star game. So Obama reveals aliens exist, then goes to a basketball game and suddenly changes his story? Who got to him? Could it be aliens? Because I'm calling it right now, they're making Space Jam 3."
