Apple 'selling' Severance's Lumon Terminal Pro is an ingenious branding move
Apple TV's Severance recently finished its second season, and the series has really got people talking. To capitalise on the show's popularity, Apple is including the computers that appear in the Lumon workplace in the show on its website, and their integration is seamless. It looks like it's a parody or maybe even a mistake to see 'Lumon Terminal Pro' with a 'New' sticker next to it on the Apple Store, right next to the MacBook Air (also new).

I said maybe.

But it's the Onyx Cinder spaceship coming in and landing on At Achrann that “is classic Star Wars fare”, according to Chris McLaughlin, Visual Effects Supervisor at DNEG.
