Revel in Four Decades of Star Wars in This New Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Special Look
The new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker material is coming fast and furious. Disney is giving us all something to be thankful for—a few days early, in fact—before this Thanksgiving with a glut of fresh footage and glimpses at this era-capping epic. We’ve seen an actual clip from the film (!!), a new TV spot, and now this “Special Look” featurette, which takes us back 42-years to the very beginning of the Skywalker Saga. If you can watch this two-and-a-half-minute video without getting chills, you’re made of stronger (and sterner) stuff than us.
This special look not only highlights the massive cultural impact the Star Wars franchise has had on the world but on the cast and crew members who made the 9th and final film in the Skywalker Saga, The Rise of Skywalker. That includes co-writer and director J.J. Abrams and stars Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Oscar Isaac. We also get some very lovely moments with the late, great Carrie Fisher, some thoughts from a very young Mark Hamill, and glimpses from behind-the-scenes of the 9 films that comprise this epic, one-of-a-kind franchise.
Check out the new featurette below. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hits theaters on December 20, 2019.
