However, now that the trilogy has concluded, it’s become apparent that some storylines didn’t quite land and several questions remain unanswered, such as the unresolved hint Maz Kanata offered about a major secret.
The Postman shoe is a classic American workwear style, originally made for postal workers and still crafted in Japan. It’s versatile – formal enough to dress up, but durable enough for hard work. The latest collaboration between N.HOOLYWOOD COMPILE and Danner, releasing May 30th, builds on this design, making it even more like a traditional work boot with added rugged features, while still maintaining the shoe’s inherent toughness that’s always been just beneath the surface of its classic look.

Arturia has launched Memory V, a software instrument designed to recreate the sound of the iconic, yet famously unreliable, Moog Memorymoog synthesizer. The original Memorymoog, Moog’s last major polyphonic synth before the company faced financial difficulties, was known for its rich, full sound – each note created using three oscillators. While it heavily influenced the synthpop and progressive rock of the early 1980s, it was notoriously difficult to keep in working order due to its intricate design and frequent power supply failures. Memory V aims to capture that classic warmth and sound without the headaches of the original hardware.
