Fans feel the force as final film in new Star Wars trilogy named

The title of the final film in the third Star Wars trilogy will be Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

A teaser for the film was released on Twitter, saying: “Every generation has a legend.”

The announcement was made at a Star Wars celebration event being held in Chicago.

JJ Abrams also said Carrie Fisher’s Leia will live on in the film, with the director able to integrate unused scenes of Leia from The Force Awakens into the story.

Fisher died in December 2016, after shooting had finished on The Last Jedi, and her character is alive in the last shot of the film.
