Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker: Get ready for the spectacular conclusion with these stills

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker wraps up the saga of the Skywalkers. It is the ninth installment in the main story (excluding the spinoffs). JJ Abrams, who also helmed the first film in the trilogy, returns to direct The Rise of Skywalker. The film has Rey, Finn, Poe and others of the Resistance making their last stand against the First Order, now led by Kylo Ren. Emperor Palpatine has also returned from the dead, somehow, and has a yet-unknown role to play in the conflict.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker features a large ensemble cast led by Daisey Ridley.

Adam Driver's Kylo Ren is the primary antagonist.

Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, Anthony Daniels, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Lupita Nyong'o, Domhnall Gleeson, Kelly Marie Tran, Joonas Suotamo, Billie Lourd reprise their roles from Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Naomi Ackie, Richard E Grant, and Keri Russell join the franchise with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

The trailer appeared to show that C-3PO, which has been a part of the franchise right from the original film, will "die" in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, as much as a droid is capable of dying.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will hit theaters on December 20.
