Director JJ Abrams seen on Friday
Menacing laughter from Emperor Palpatine is heard as the screen goes black, then the Star Wars logo is seen in blue. The Rise Of Skywalker is added.
IX will feature a live Princess Leia played by Fisher, even though she died in 2016, director Abrams confirmed on Friday.
He already told fans this in 2018. What’s new here is that Leia is very much alive in IX and not seen in mere flashbacks, which fans thought she might be.
‘Princess Leia lives in this film in way that is mind-blowing to me,’ Abrams said.
JJ was on stage at the Star Wars Celebration in Chicago on Friday along with several cast members.
Also revealed is that IX doesn’t pick up immediately after the events of The Last Jedi.
He added that some time has gone by. JJ teased that it will be an adventure that the group goes on together.
‘This movie is about this new generation and what they’ve inherited, the light and the dark,’ Abrams added. ‘As they face this greatest evil, are they prepared?’
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy also reiterated that Episode IX will close out the newest trilogy and the 9-film Skywalker saga that began in 1977.
Stephen Colbert, who is a superfan of Star Wars, moderated the panel.
Also there were Ridley, Oscar Isaac (Poe), John Boyega (Finn), Kelly Marie Tran (Rose), Joonas Suotamo (Chewbacca), newcomer Naomi Ackie, who plays a character named Jannah, Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) and even Williams, who reprises his role as Lando Calrissian in the new film after decades away.
‘How did I find Lando again?’ Williams said. ‘Lando never left me.’
Hamill and Driver were no shows at the event.

JJ is currently in the process of editing and adding visual effects to the film. Episode IX opens nationwide December 20, 2019.
Star Wars was created by George Lucas. The franchise began with the eponymous 1977 movie.
The first film, later subtitled Episode IV – A New Hope, was followed by two successful sequels, Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Episode VI – Return of the Jedi (1983).
A subsequent prequel trilogy, consisting of Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999), Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002) and Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005), was completed by Lucas.
He called it the ‘tragedy of Darth Vader.’
A sequel trilogy began with Episode VII – The Force Awakens (2015), continued with Episode VIII – The Last Jedi (2017), and will end with Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker this year.
