After 12 years, three different networks, and an entire regime change, Star Wars: The Clones Wars has finally ended. The animated series serves as the last remaining vestige of George Lucas’ direct influence on the Star Wars saga—but we almost didn’t get to see how it all unfolded. Showrun by Dave Filoni (who was handpicked by Lucas to manage the show before going on to create Star Wars Rebels and manage The Mandalorian with Jon Favreau), the series had many lives over the course of its run, starting first on Cartoon Network before heading to Netflix and then eventually over to Disney+ as a platform exclusive for the new streaming service.
Our Definitive Ranking of the 11 Best Beard Trimmers of 2020 /
When it comes to styling your facial hair, the line between a messy, overgrown Rip Van Wrinkle beard and a perfectly on-trend look is often a delicate dance. A little bit of growth on either side can really make or break a beard. And while people without beards often assume this type of facial hair requires less grooming than daily shaving, men with beards know that’s not really the case. At least, men with well-groomed beards understand this. That’s why having one of the best beard trimmers in your grooming arsenal is so important.
Electric beard trimmers offer clips and blades that can help you shear through your facial hair like a set of hedge trimmers can cut through greenery. Most come with clip-on combs to help manage longer facial hair and then smaller, more adjustable settings to lock in your desired look. Especially in the time of the coronavirus, it’s a great tool to have on hand while we’re on lockdown.

10 Workout Recovery Tools to Help You Keep Your Body in Peak Condition /
With the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it can be difficult to find the time to work out properly. So it’s just as tough to find the time to recover the right way. However, ensuring your body is well enough for another workout is just as critical as the exercise itself, as rest and recovery are key elements in helping to build muscle while staying injury-free.
Cooling down after a workout doesn’t mean just stopping your workout. Rather, it refers to the process of slowly working your body back to its normal state after an intense bit of exercise. This helps your body to transition effectively and is a great way to treat your body right. Stretching individual muscle groups that you’ve worked, even for a little bit of time, can help to reduce the risk of future injury, so be sure you’re stretching everything out properly.

Want a Custom Leather Jacket? This Atelier Will Make One for You Over FaceTime /
“Learn something new every day, I guess. It’s like being a fashion student!”
This is what Savannah Yarborough of Atelier Savas, a maker of custom leather outerwear, says as she watches me slide a clothing pin through the sides of a canvas jacket lining, guiding me through our fitting. Only we’re not in the same room; rather, we’re chatting over FaceTime with Yarborough carefully looking on from her Nashville studio while I go to work on the canvas from my apartment in Washington, DC. During this particular time, it’s not unusual that most business—even custom tailoring—is conducted over video calls. However, it is surprising to learn that this isn’t Yarborough’s first or second rodeo: Savas was offering at-home, virtual made-to-measure fittings long before Covid-19 upended our day-to-day lives.
