Millennium Falcon’s New Pilot Revealed in Rise of Skywalker Photo
A new photo of Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) piloting the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker has been revealed.
Entertainment Weekly debuted the new photo, which you can see below, which also features Chewbacca and Finn.
The photo shows off Poe Dameron in the Millennium Falcon’s pilot seat, alongside the ever-present Chewbacca. Finn can be seen hanging out in the rear seat, looking much calmer than the shocked expression on Poe’s face.
Don’t Worry, the Bob’s Burgers Movie Is Still Coming Out in 2020
After a Bob's Burgers movie was announced in 2017, fans have been patiently waiting for the Belcher family to hit the big screen. However, after the movie was left off of Disney's upcoming movies list, there was a minor scare that the Belcher family's big screen debut might be delayed or even outright canceled. But rest assured, IGN confirmed that the Bob's Burgers movie will still hit on its originally scheduled release date of July 17, 2020.
The brief scare came in the wake of a report by Cartoon Brew where fans saw that Disney had left off the Bob's Burgers film from its list of upcoming movies in 2020 and beyond. As you might expect this threw fans into a panic, with one fan even reaching out to the show's creator, Loren Bouchard, on Twitter, asking for some clarity on the fate of the upcoming Bob's Burgers movie. Bouchard didn't offer much of a reply, responding, "Just wait." This led fans to believe that maybe the movie had simply been delayed, but now we know there is no delay and the movie will release as originally planned.

Twitter Showers The Mandalorian’s Baby Yoda With Amazing Fan Art
When The Mandalorian was first announced for Disney's new streaming platform Disney+, everyone assumed we would be getting a show about a Bounty Hunter doing badass Bounty Hunter things -- not a show about a Bounty Hunter taking care of a small, Force-powered child that, for lack of a better name, the internet has collectively decided to call "Baby Yoda." (Yes, we know it doesn't make sense, but it's better than "baby from Yoda's mystery species," okay?) In what could easily be considered the greatest twist in Star Wars history since Darth Vader telling Luke he was his father (or Kylo killing Snoke -- what) "Baby Yoda" has become the driving force of this show.
Disney+: The Shows and Movies We HAD to Watch First

Pokemon Sword and Shield Fan Reactions Are… Mixed
Even before their release, Pokemon Sword and Shield became the most controversial entries into the Pokemon video game franchise. But now that fans have had a chance to play the games is that still the case?

For a complete rundown, check out our explanation of Pokemon's "Dexit" and other controversies.

Why People Are Talking About Half-Life VR
Rumors of a new Half-Life game set to be revealed at this year’s Game Awards have started spreading online. The reason this particular Half-Life rumor has gained traction over the countless other Half-Life rumors over the years is that it comes from two well-known Valve leakers, and follows a pattern of recent rumors and reports about this unique next step for the Half-Life series.
The new rumor centers around an alleged Half-Life: Alyx VR and it first comes from the same leaker who revealed DOTA Underlords ahead of its launch. Possible word of an imminent Half-Life VR reveal has stirred the masses thanks in part to Valve’s history of teasing major VR flagship games.
This morning’s rumors are based on a supposed interview between Geoff Keighley and a development team at Valve for what could be a Game Awards reveal segment. In the now-deleted and alleged transcript, “Geoff” asks the dev team some questions about the decision to put a Half-Life game on VR before seemingly confirming Half-Life: Alyx for March 2020.
