Update: The Rise of Skywalker Won’t Be the Longest Star Wars Film
UPDATE: J.J. Abrams has revealed that the Rise of Skywalker run time will actually be around 141 minutes, but notes that it could change by a minute or two depending on how the final credits work out.
Announced on EWLive, Abrams has confirmed that The Last Jedi will remain the longest Star Wars film to date. Rise of the Skywalker will still have a pretty solid run time though, coming in at around 2 hours and 21 minutes, but it won't surpass the 2017 title.
ORIGINAL STORY: Tickets for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker are officially on sale, and along with the showtimes, the launch reveals that TROS will officially become the longest Star Wars film ever at 155 minutes, or 2 hours and 35 minutes in length.

Nickelodeon Shows Going to CBS All Access
Nickelodeon shows are coming to the CBS All Access streaming service, according to a new report from The Hollywood Reporter.
As Viacom (which owns Nickelodeon) and CBS close in on their December 4 merger, the two companies announced the content deal early Monday.
It’s currently unclear exactly which Nickelodeon shows and movies will be coming to CBS All Access, THR reports that it’s likely we’ll see classic Nickelodeon properties like Spongebob Squarepants and Dora the Explorer will be included. That reporting is bolstered by the fact that Viacom currently has no streaming service to house much of their back catalog of shows like the aforementioned Spongebob and Dora, save for Amazon Prime Video and Nickelodeon’s NickHits platform, which costs $7.99 a month. Netflix previously declined to sign a contract renewal with Viacom back in 2013, leading to a split in content.
