The holiday is throwing a wrench in this week’s TV schedule, but no matter what, the highlight this week would be that other Star Wars finale. The Mandalorian is wrapping up its eight-episode run on Friday morning, and that might be the gift I’m looking forward to the most this week. Beyond the flagship Disney+ series, Netflix is bringing a second season of two highly-anticipated shows, You and Lost in Space. Also new this week is Ang Lee’s Gemini Man — you won’t get a 120fps copy, but at least you can own it at home in 4K and HDR.

There isn’t much new this week in the way of video games or Blu-ray releases, but sports fans can check out college bowl games and a full slate of NBA action on Christmas Day. Look after the break to check out each day’s highlights, including trailers and let us know what you think (or what we missed).

Because who doesn’t want to drive their own electric chariot? Uniti’s upcoming EV puts the driver front and center, not unlike a McLaren F1, with a pair of passengers (or a load of groceries if you fold down the back seats) riding double-barrel shotgun in a sleek city-rated runabout.

Ang Lee has a fair guess as to where tomorrow’s cinema experiences are headed: high frame-rates, dense resolutions, and 3D CGI. Engadget Senior Editor Devindra Hardawar sits down with the iconic director.

To keep the deliveries flowing, companies like Amazon are increasingly turning to dropping packages at a secure location in order to move their drivers on to their next destination. That’s why we have Lockers and Amazon has access to your Honda’s trunk. But, not to be outdone, Walmart this week launched its answer to the Key service with an audacious plan to stock to your refrigerator. No, not the one filled with sodas and beer out by the garage, the one in your kitchen.

This is what the 12,000 Starlink satellites in orbit have done to our night sky so far. Elon Musk wants to launch 30,000 more.

Take a stroll through the halcyon days of gaming when graphics were measured in bits rather than frame rates with these classics from the command line era, presented by the Internet Archive. No CD drive required! [puts on onion belt] Ok so CDs were a form of physical media …

Lee also pushed for Will Smith’s clone, Junior, to be an entirely CG character. He’s not just de-aged like Samuel L. Jackson in Captain Marvel — he’s built completely from the ground up by Weta Digital to recapture Smith in his youth. So, in a way, Junior is more closely related to Gollum from Lord of the Rings than an actual human who’s had a bit of computer-assisted wrinkle reduction. His performance is motion captured by Will Smith and stuntmen, and his face his painstakingly recreated by Weta. This allows Junior to both move like a younger man, but also tap into Will Smith’s talents for his facial movements.

“The man gave peace of his heart,” Lee said. “He actually has to act harder than his usual job. No, ten times harder. If you’d like to talk about hard, Junior has it hard, a lot more than a real person. The investment we put into it to try to make believe that was a hundred times harder than just directing an actor or movie star.”

Lee doesn’t seem too concerned about actors just becoming digital characters that we can easily manipulate in the future, like the film The Congress. “But anything can happen,” he says. Junior isn’t a perfect digital facsimile of young Will Smith — at times, you can easily tell that the facial rendering feels a bit off — but he’s a big step towards seeing completely digital actors in more films.

No matter how Gemini Man ends up being received — it currently sits at 24 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and has grossed just $20.6 million in its first weekend — Lee still plans to continue chipping away at the possibilities of digital cinema.

“Digital is more attractive to me now because it’s harder,” he said. “I’m curious, I have so many questions… It’s not like I’m like 36 or something. I’m in a hurry to find some answers to those questions. And it seems like every answer I get, then 10 questions open up.”
