Watch the Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker D23 footage here

Rey with a double-bladed red lightsaber. The sound of Darth Vader’s laboured breathing. An epic duel between Rey and Kylo Ren on what appears to be a piece of debris on a roiling sea. And, turning toward the skies, Star Destroyers and X-wings are far as the eye can see.

These glimpses were just part of the exclusive preview footage from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker at D23 Expo Saturday morning and you can now watch it below.

Directed by J.J. Abrams, the film stars Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Domhnall Gleeson, Kellie Marie Tran, Naomi Ackie, Richard E. Grant, Billy Dee Williams, Joonas Suotamo, Keri Russell, and Dominic Monaghan.

Star Wars: Episode IX is scheduled for release in UK cinemas on 19th December 2019.
