The Rise of Skywalker Poster and Trailer

I honestly have to say that I wasn’t sure what to think when Disney teamed up LucasFilm to create new additions to the Star Wars franchise. I have loved every film created including the Star Wars Story of Han Solo. So this new final film in the new series is one I’m looking forward to seeing in cinemas.

Lucasfilm and director J.J. Abrams join forces once again to take viewers on an epic journey to a galaxy far, far away with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the riveting conclusion of the seminal Skywalker saga, where new legends will be born and the final battle for freedom is yet to come.

The film stars Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Anthony Daniels, Naomi Ackie, Domhnall Gleeson, Richard E. Grant, Lupita Nyong’o, Keri Russell, Joonas Suotamo, Kelly Marie Tran, with Ian McDiarmid and Billy Dee Williams

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is directed by J.J. Abrams and produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Abrams and Michelle Rejwan. Callum Greene, Tommy Gormley and Jason McGatlin serve as executive producers. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was written by J.J. Abrams & Chris Terrio.

Watching the trailer just gave me goosebumps. I’m so excited to see Daisy Ridley again as Ray. I’m even excited about seeing bad boy Kylo Ren again in the film. These movies have actually made me a fan of the dark side, at least for Kylo.

To prepare for the release of the film Disney released new merchandise at their Triple Force Friday event in October. You can find collectibles from your favorite retailers like Walmart, Target, and Amazon. You can also buy your own Obi Wan Kenobi lightsaber online, so you’re ready to right on opening night.
