Poe Dameron himself, Oscar Isaac, has confirmed something we’ve all long expected about the Star Wars franchise. The upcoming Episode IX will mark the end of the Skywalker Saga.
Speaking on The Today Show Isaac discussed his role in the movie and had this to say about its story, “It is the end of the entire Skywalker saga. Nine stories. This is the culmination of the thing, I think what J.J. [Abrams] has done, and really the whole Lucasfilm team, is going to be incredibly fulfilling. It’s also special for us because you get to learn a lot more things about these characters.”
Little is know about Episode IX’s story despite the fact there is only 9 months remaining until it arrives in cinemas. The first trailer is expected to arrive around the time of another huge Disney release, Avengers: Endgame!
The film will see the return of Daisy Ridley (Rey), Adam Driver (Kylo Ren), John Boyega (Finn), Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron), Lupita Nyong’o (Maz Kanata), Domhnall Gleeson (General Hux), Kelly Marie Tran (Rose Tico), Joonas Suotamo (Chewbacca), and Billie Lourd (Lieutenant Connix).
Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), and Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian) will also all return to reprise their iconic roles from previous films.
The late Carrie Fisher will appear via previously unreleased archive footage.
Star Wars: Episode IX hits cinemas December 20, 2019.
