Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Will Close Out Nine-Film Saga This December

Lucasfilm unveiled the first glimpse of its final chapter in the nine-film Skywalker Saga today, dropping the teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker before a packed crowd at Star Wars Celebration in Chicago.

Highlights of the two-minute preview included Lando Calrissian piloting the Millennium Falcon, Leia embracing Rey and the familiar cackle of Emperor Palpatine.

As for whom exactly this "ascending Skywalker" refers to - Rey, Kylo Ren, Leia, Luke, or everyone within the powerful lineage - we'll just have to bide our time guessing the next eight months until Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hits theaters Dec. 20.
