Disintegration: Watch Gameplay from a Full Story Mission
We just kicked off our full month of exclusive Disintegration coverage, and today we've got 32 minutes of never-before-seen story mission gameplay for you from an early level in the campaign.
Play as Romer Shoal as he leads his three-person squad into enemy Rayonne territory to search and salvage the wreckage of a downed Iron Cloud, the massive airships that hunt the skies looking for members of the resistance – which you can learn more about in our big Disintegration hands-on preview.
Throughout the level you'll see a whole lot of combat against some of the early enemy types that make up the Rayonne forces and how mission objectives are constantly updated as new situations are thrown at the squad. What you won't see are story spoilers since we've removed the pre- and post-mission cinematics, so you can watch with ease unless you want to go into totally blind when it's released on PC, PS4, and Xbox One in 2020.

Ozark Season 3 Release Date Set for March
Netflix has announced that the third season of Ozark will premier on the streaming service this March.
The Jason Bateman and Laura Linney-fronted crime drama will debut all episodes of Season 3 on March 27, 2020.
Set six months after Season 2, the third season tracks Marty and Wendy as they fight for control of the family’s destiny. Marty seeks to keep the status quo, but Wendy is looking to expand with the aid of Helen and the drug cartel leader, Omar Navarro. A little chaos is injected into the proceedings, though, when Wendy’s brother Ben arrives in town.
After a decent first year, Ozark Season 2 kicked the show up a few notches, something that led to a “completely captivating story from start to finish” according to our review. Hopefully this third season can continue the pace and deliver equally impressive results.
The Irishman Labelled ‘High Fiction’ by Stepson of Chuckie O’Brien
Jack Goldsmith, the stepson of the real-life Chuckie O'Brien, has publicly called out The Irishman for its apparent inaccuracies, labelling the Martin Scorsese film a piece of "high fiction."
In an editorial published in the New York Times, Goldsmith criticized the portrayal of O'Brien, the foster son of Jimmy Hoffa played by Jesse Plemons in the Netflix film, calling it "the greatest depiction of the false charge" against his stepfather.
According to the op-ed, "Chuckie worried that Scorsese's film would give his supposed involvement in the Hoffa disappearance a reality in popular culture that the prior books, headlines and movies did not", however, "it turned out to be worse than he feared."
Watch the First Trailer for Season 1 of Netflix’s Locke & Key
Locke & Keys fans, rejoice! Netflix has unveiled the first official trailer for the upcoming supernatural-horror series based on the best-selling graphic novel of the same name, which was originally written by Joe Hill and illustrated by Gabriel Rodriguez for IDW Publishing.
All 10 episodes of Locke & Key will premiere on Netflix on Friday, February 7, 2020. Here's how the streamer describes the show: "After their father is murdered under mysterious circumstances, the three Locke siblings and their mother move into their ancestral home, Keyhouse, which they discover is full of magical keys that may be connected to their father's death. As the Locke children explore the different keys and their unique powers, a mysterious demon awakens — and will stop at nothing to steal them. From Carlton Cuse (Lost) and Meredith Averill (The Haunting of Hill House), the series is a coming-of-age mystery about love, loss, and the unshakable bonds that define family."
The Bewildering Saga of Chewbacca’s Missing Medal in Star Wars
A long time ago, on a Shepperton, England soundstage far, far away, one of the darkest crimes of the entire Galactic Civil War was committed: no one gave Chewbacca a medal for helping blow up the Death Star at the end of A New Hope! At least, not on-camera, which has led to an interesting dialog between Star Wars fans and Lucasfilm storytellers over the years, so we’re recapping the entire bewildering saga as it unfolded in chronological order.
Warning: this post contains spoilers for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker!
The Source of the Chewbacca Controversy
To start, let’s light-skip back to 1970’s brainspace. As a fresh-faced Star Wars fan in ‘77, this seemed like a glaring omission: why no Medal of Honor for Chewie? After all, he served aboard the Millennium Falcon, the ship that provided crucial assistance to Luke so he could successfully blow up the Death Star, thus saving the lives of everyone at that medal ceremony. Plus, you’ll remember that Han Solo initially refused to help the Rebels, yet they still gave him a medal. It feels unfair for Han to leave Yavin 4 with fresh bling draped around his elegant shoulders while Chewbacca only has that lusterless silver bowcaster bandolier thingy.
Chewbacca Actor Recollects Emotional Leia Scene in Rise of Skywalker
This article contains some spoilers for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Star Wars actor Joonas Suotamo has opened up about the moment Chewbacca reacted to Leia's passing in The Rise of Skywalker, describing the day that the scene was shot as "very emotional."
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Suotamo recollected his final farewell to the late Carrie Fisher's iconic character, General Leia Organa, as he noted the gravity of that moment in the film.
"I remember having some issues with my jaw being so sweaty that I had trouble opening the mouth of the Chewbacca mask," he said. "So, I was a nervous wreck underneath the mask because I knew this moment was so important to the film, and I wanted it to be perfect. But, maybe that helped me get into the right mindset.
God of War’s Mimir Brought to Life as Realistic Animatronic Head
Remember Mimir? He’s the wise talking head who told you stories in 2018’s God of War. Well, he’s now been brought to life as a brilliant animatronic.
It’s the work of Bar-El Studio, who specialises in animatronics, special effects, prosthetics and model making. The studio spent the past several months piecing together the animatronic head and revealed the finished product on January 6, 2020.
Mimir is realised in full - well, his head - with glowing golden eyes, horns, beard, and he even moves his mouth as if talking to you.
It caught the attention of God of War developer Santa Monica Studio who shared the reveal video on Twitter, describing it as “one of the single greatest tribute creations for #GodofWar we've ever seen.”
Billie Lourd Portrayed Carrie Fisher in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Scene
This article contains some spoilers for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Actress and Carrie Fisher's daughter Billie Lourd portrayed young Leia in that scene in Rise of the Skywalker.
According to Yahoo Entertainment, there was a decision made to not replace Fisher with another actress, so instead almost all of Leia's scenes in the movie are made up of VFX efforts and old footage. The only exception is one scene in which we see a young Luke Skywalker training his sister and showing her Force sensitive nature. During this sequence, Leia is played by Billie Lourd.
