About Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

The saga will end. The story lives forever.

In the epic conclusion to the Skywalker saga, "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker," we are reintroduced to the dynamic trio of Rey, Finn, and Poe Dameron, as they lead the remaining members of the Resistance in a battle against the tyrannical First Order. The film delves deep into the lore and history of the Star Wars universe, drawing upon the power and knowledge accumulated over several generations. This final installment of the beloved Star Wars series is filled with moments that will both exhilarate and emotionally move viewers, as the heroes grapple with their destinies and the destinies of their respective lineages.

The film boasts an impressive cast of characters, both returning and new. Carrie Fisher, who passed away in 2016, reprises her role as the beloved General Leia Organa, the wise and steadfast leader of the Resistance. Mark Hamill also returns as Luke Skywalker, his character's journey coming full circle from humble beginnings to the embodiment of hope and guidance for a galaxy in peril. These iconic characters are joined by a host of other familiar faces, including the likes of Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and R2-D2, as well as new additions, such as the enigmatic Zorii Bliss and the endearing Babu Frik.

As the title suggests, "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" leads the characters to the climactic showdown between the forces of light and darkness, as Rey, Finn, and Poe Dameron confront the ever-present threat of the First Order and its cunning mastermind, Kylo Ren. Amidst the clash of lightsabers and the roar of starship engines, questions about identity, belonging, and the true nature of the Force are explored, culminating in a breathtaking, emotionally charged finale that will leave audiences in awe of the Skywalker saga's enduring legacy.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is part of the Star Wars Collection.
