Generally, The Force Awakens is seen as a fun, nostalgic return to Star Wars, while the controversial The Last Jedi was much darker and pushed the boundaries of the lore. So just how will The Rise of Skywalker be different as JJ Abrams returns to direct after The Force Awakens? Well, now Daisy Ridley has teased the genre of the highly-anticipated Episode IX. Speaking with USA Today, the 27-year-old said: “Genre-wise, it’s different from the other two, which will become clear when the film comes out.”
Ridley continued: “It’s quite emotional.
“There’s a different drive than the previous two films, but there’s a lot of fun.
“I really missed John [Boyega] during the last one, but we’re back together and now Oscar [Isaac] is part of it.
“To me, it felt like kids going on an adventure.”
He added: “And we are well aware that that’s one of the things that’s sorta been out there.
“I don’t want to say that what happens in Episode VIII…y’know, we have honoured that.
“But I will say that there’s more to the story than you see.”
Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker is released in UK cinemas on December 19, 2019.
