As the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is just days away, we here at ComicBook.com are excited to finally be able to see the ninth and final film in the Skywalker Saga. To celebrate this major occasion, we’ve decided to work together with a deep dive on everything that makes this franchise so great. From the lightsaber battles to the dogfights in space to the cranky droids who tend to know more than their counterparts, there’s a lot to love about the Star Wars saga, and that’s exactly what we’ll be doing as we count down the week to the premiere of the new movie.
