“A thousand generations live in you now… But this is your fight.” At Disney’s D23 Expo this year, Lucasfilm revealed a thrilling behind-the-scenes featurette for Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker. We’re now only 116 days away from opening day, and we’ve still only seen the teaser trailer. But this “special preview” excites with lots of emotional footage, and even more clues / hints at what’s to come in this grand finale. Directed by J.J. Abrams, it continues the storyline started in The Force Awakens following Rey, Finn, & Poe as they fight the First Order. Starring Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, Domhnall Gleeson, Lupita Nyong’o, Warwick Davis, plus newcomers Naomi Ackie, Keri Russell, Richard E. Grant, and Dominic Monaghan. It’s a wonderful look at how far this series has come, all they’ve been through, taking us to this mega epic finale.
