Good news, Star Wars fans!
Disney just announced release dates for its upcoming films, including Star Wars Episode IX! Based on the announcement, it seems that we can expect an earlier release date from the ninth installment than expected.
According to the schedule, Episode IX will be shown five months ahead of the usual December release.
As for Episode IX, The Force Awakens cast John Boyega, Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver are all expected to return to the film. As to whether we’ll still see Princess Leia in the ninth film, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy debunked this, sharing that all filmed footage of the late Carrie Fisher will be used for a posthumous appearance in The Last Jedi.
