Fans have been waiting a long time for the final Star Wars movie, The Rise of Skywalker.

Now, with the release of the final trailer, it looks like the end might be in sight.

The final film in the franchise features Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher who return to reprise their roles as Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia.

The sneak previews we’ve seen so far made us question Rey’s commitment to the force, and the final trailer isn’t setting anyone’s mind at ease on that front.

Over to the Guardian for everything we know about the upcoming film:

With the tag line “The saga will end. The story lives forever”, the trailer promises to close off the narrative that began with rural boy Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) finding himself caught up in an intergalactic battle in George Lucas’s original, groundbreaking film, A New Hope.

Since A New Hope, the saga has since spanned two original sequels, three prequels, a full “sequel trilogy” and two “anthology” films, or stand-alone films within more or less the same timeline.

The film was written, directed, and produced by JJ Abrams, and stars Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, and Lupita Nyong’o, alongside original trilogy cast members Ian McDiarmid, and Anthony Daniels as the robot C-3PO.

The Rise of Skywalker trailer suggests a dramatic ending, because it depicts sweeping shots of battles atop ships on vast raging oceans, characters leaping across canyons in tremendous jungles, teary-eyed close-ups, and of course, lightsabers.

Look out for it in cinemas on December 20, 2019.
