The end of the Skywalker Saga will be “emotional and satisfying” for fans.
After George Lucas kicked off the franchise with 1977's "A New Hope," Abrams will be placing a bookend with "The Rise Of Skywalker" when it debuts in December.
"This is about bringing this thing to a close in a way that is emotional and meaningful and also satisfying in terms of actually answering [as many] questions as possible,” the filmmaker -- who helmed 2015's "A Force Awakens" -- told"So if years from now, someone's watching these movies, all nine of them, they're watching a story that is as cohesive as possible," he added.But the writer/director wasn't without his doubts.
Abrams' return to the saga comes after "Jurassic World" director Colin Trevorrow was removed from the project by Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy for creative differences. It also follows Rian Johnson’s 2017 sequel "The Last Jedi," which divided fans over the treatment of several characters such as Rey and Snoke.
Although this is the end of the main Skywalker Saga, fans will see plenty more intergalactic adventures as spin-off movies are in the works and scripted series such as "The Mandalorian" hits Disney's new streaming service Disney+ come November.Got a story or a tip for us? Email TooFab editors at
