It’s time for the story of an entire generation – spanning 42 years, to come to an end.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker – hailed as the biggest film of this year, will take the Middle East by storm on 19th December 2019. The ninth concluding episode of the series will explore whole new characters in entirely different parts of the galaxy.
Disney unveiled an exclusive glimpse into the ninth and final installment of the Star Wars saga to more than 100,000 guests at the D23 Expo which took place two weeks back.
The footage left the audience gasping and clapping to an emotional reunion of many members of the cast who took to the stage with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and director J.J. Abrams.
J.J. Abrams shared emotional stories about the late Carrie Fisher and went on to describe the film as a love letter to her. The actress passed away before filming began, but with unused footage from The Force Awakens, Abrams was thrilled to announce Carrie Fisher’s final onscreen performance as Princess Leia Organa appearing in the final film.
