Poe Dameron pilots the Millennium Falcon in new The Rise of Skywalker photo

Buddy!

Hotshot pilot Poe Dameron gets to fly “the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy” for the first time in this exclusive new photo from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Poe (Oscar Isaac) is looking pretty shocked by something as he maneuvers the Millennium Falcon and joined by Stromtrooper-turned-Resistance fighter Finn (John Boeyga) and the Falcon’s faithful co-pilot Chewbacca (>Joonas Suotamo).
