Despite being the conclusion to the Skywalker Saga, J.J. Abrams (Star Trek) left a few plot threads hanging in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, including a detail John Boyega’s Finn wanted to share with Daisy Ridley’s Rey, and now the co-writer/director has revealed what he wanted to tell her.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is scheduled for release on December 20.
The role of Leia Organa will once again be played by Carrie Fisher, using previously unreleased footage shot for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
In addition to directing, J.J. Abrams co-wrote the screenplay with Chris Terrio (Argo, Justice League).
