The film’s name was confirmed as The Rise of Skywalker, and it’s due to screen in the US in December.
If the brand new trailer is anything to go by, fans can expect high stakes and higher drama in the next instalment.
The trailer features characters Rei, who is stranded in a desert, Lando Calrissian – whose at the helm of the Millenium Falcon – Luke Skywalker, and what many have pinned as Palpatines laugh at the very end.
“It’s never the end,” says Skywalker in the trailer, and that would seem to be the case; the film is the franchise’s ninth instalment.
Ecstatic fans have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts ahead of the much-anticipated film with reactions varying between the worried:
