A Skywalker will rise

The ninth main Star Wars film will bear the title of Rise of Skywalker. The film has a lot of expectations to deal with after the furious backlash from fans over previous Stars Wars film The Last Jedi treatment of beloved character such as the turning of Luke Skywalker into a mistranhopic hermit. The new film will see the return of a couple of familiar faces of the series. One is the previously announced return of Billy Dee Williams as intergalactic rogue Lando however the big surprise is the reappearance of Emperor Palpatine as played by Ian McDarmid. The Emperor of courser died in Return of the Jedi so this has led to frenzied fan speculation about the circumstances. We shall know when Rise of Skywalker is released in cinemas this Christmas.
