Jennifer loves TV, especially science fiction. She also loves late-night talk shows, due to her insomnia. Alien: Earth is definitely one of her favorite shows, and she jumps on any chance she gets to write about it. Even on her days off, she will claim an Alien Earth article if one is available.
Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon are two of her favorite late-night hosts, and Conan O'Brien before he left his show.
Her Alien: Earth coverage for Screen Rant is by far the work that she is most proud of so far.
She began her career as an editor in 2014. She was initially a finance editor, but her passion for pop culture convinced her to transition into entertainment journalism.
During her off time, she loves to binge-watch cooking shows such as Kitchen Nightmares. Jennifer also loves spending time with her daughter and cherishes every moment of it.

Disney is expanding its Star Wars section, Galaxy’s Edge, at Disneyland.
Disney Parks Blog was the first to report on the expansion. The new elements will bring characters and storylines from multiple eras of the franchise to the immersive attraction. Beginning April 29, 2026, guests will encounter familiar faces from the original Star Wars trilogy, including Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Han Solo, and Princess Leia, alongside characters from the newer installments.
The changes will highlight key moments from the Galactic Civil War, the rise of the New Republic, the Resistance, and the First Order. Disney added that visitors can still enjoy the older attractions as well, such as Batuu, the Millennium Falcon, and more.
One of the upcoming additions, the Black Spire Outpost, will transport visitors back several decades. The section will feature updated props, enhanced graphics, and music inspired by the films.
Iconic Star Wars characters will be visible throughout the outpost. Darth Vader, accompanied by Imperial Stormtroopers, will patrol the area in search of Luke Skywalker, while the latter explores Batuu. Princess Leia may appear near the Millennium Falcon, recruiting allies to help protect her brother, while Han Solo will be found around his ship and the Cantina.
Disneyland's move to integrate decades of Star Wars stories coincides with the theatrical release of The Mandalorian & Grogu set to premiere on May 22, 2026. The timing also collides with major shifts at Disney, as the company could potentially be announcing its new CEO as Bob Iger steps down.
