Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker premiered four years ago today and fans are debating the sequel trilogy yet again. As the five-year anniversary draws closer every day, people just can’t stop talking about the The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. With no big Star Wars movie on the horizon in the immediate future, all viewers are left to discuss is TV series like Ahsoka or the Rey movie that’s in the works. Earlier this year, the Daisy Ridley-led project sent shockwaves through the crowd at Star Wars Celebration. That movie seems poised to try and break new ground for the series rather than looking backward.

We just didn’t know how far out; we didn’t know exactly what the story might be – but now we have a much better idea.”
