J.J. Abrams on Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

This is what the director had to say to ET Canada about the final movie in the Skywalker Saga:

“The story that we’re telling, the story that we started to conceive when we did The Force Awakens was allowed to continue. Episode VIII didn’t really derail anything that we were thinking about.”

“But I will say that the fun of this movie is that these characters are all together on this adventure as a group. That’s the thing that I was most excited about to see, the dynamic between these characters that these amazing actors play on this desperate, seat-of-your-pants adventure. That, to me, was the most fun, having the group together.”

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will release in theatres on December 20, 2019.
