Disney & Lucasfilm Kick Off 100 Day Countdown to The Rise of Skywalker
Let the countdown start, as we’re 100 days away from The Rise of Skywalker. Lucasfilm has formally kicked off the countdown, with a teaser that focuses on the duel between Kylo Ren and Rey, which we noticed within the not too long ago launched trailer from D23. The transient teaser was shared with the next caption.
“100 days till the saga ends… #TheRiseOfSkywalker is in cinemas 19 December!”
The Rise of Skywalker arrives within the U.Ok. on December 19, whereas it formally rolls out nationwide within the U.S. on December 20. Nonetheless, given the recognition of Thursday evening preview screenings, the film will basically be making its solution to theaters on the night of the 19th domestically. So, both method, we’re at that 100-day countdown. And, despite the fact that the conclusion to this sequel trilogy is simply over the horizon, we’re nonetheless left with an awesome many questions and treasured few solutions. How will the Skywalker saga conclude? Is it doable to satisfyingly wrap up greater than 4 many years of storytelling in a single film?
What we all know for positive is that J.J. Abrams is again on the helm for this installment. Abrams was recruited by Disney following the $four billion buy of Lucasfilm to direct what would change into The Drive Awakens. Few popular culture occasions have ever generated that degree of hype that Episode VII managed to, and few motion pictures have ever generated such success on the field workplace, because the long-awaited return to a galaxy far, distant generated greater than $2 billion worldwide. As soon as Colin Trevorrow (Jurassic World) was fired from Episode IX, it made each little bit of sense to show again to Abrams in order that he might end what he began.
But, rather a lot has modified in the previous few years. Rian Johnson took over to jot down and direct Star Wars Episode VIII, which we now know as The Final Jedi. Whereas a serious industrial success, the center entry on this trilogy stays divisive amongst the fanbase. A small but vocal contingent has made issues significantly ugly for the reason that film’s launch. In any occasion, Lucasfilm now has the distinctive problem of making an attempt to please each those that favored The Final Jedi, and people who did not. Bringing any story to a detailed is difficult, however this comes with added issue.
