A new poster for the upcoming Star Wars film The Rise Of Skywalker has been revealed.
It’s just one of a host of pieces of news around the franchise recently, with a new Star Wars TV show also confirmed, set to see Ewan McGregor returning as Obi Wan Kenobi.
At Disney’s current D23 expo in Anaheim, California, a new poster has been revealed for Episode 9 in the series, which sees Rey and Kylo Ren doing battle. See it below.
The Rise Of Skywalker will come to cinemas on December 20.
Director JJ Abrams has talked about how he has no qualms with using unedited footage featuring the late Carrie Fisher in the new film.
“It’s hard to even talk about it without sounding like I’m being some kind of cosmic spiritual goofball,” the director told Vanity Fair earlier this year. “But it felt like we suddenly had found the impossible answer to the impossible question. It has a bizarre kind of left side/right side of the brain sort of Venn diagram thing, of figuring out how to create the puzzle based on the pieces we had.”
