EPISODE IX: THOSE OTHER RESISTANCE HEROES!

Hip deep in intense warfare against the Final Order's legion forces on their secret homeworld of Exegol, our diverse supporting Resistance hero stars of The Rise of Skywalker - mechanic/specialist Rose Tico, archaeologist Beaumont Kin, and communications/operations officer Kaydel Ko Connix - show their mettle in a do-or-die mission rounding off the sequel trilogy.

EPISODE IX: THE 'LOST' REBEL!

The rebuilt Resistance/Rebellion has gained strength in pilots and soldiers by the time of The Rise of Skywalker, including the notable face of a familiar J.J. Abrams series favourite, British talent Dominic Monagahn, a long-time fan of the SW saga whose dream to appear in the franchise has finally come true. He plays the intriguingly-named 'Beaumont Kin'.

EPISODE IX: SADDLE UP, REBELS!

POSSIBLE SPOILERS!

The filming schedule juggernaut that is EPISODE IX is underway and not expected to wrap until at least next February. Here's one of the first intriguing non-official mages that have made their way online, showing lovable Chewie with Finn and Poe Dameron (holding macrobincoulars) amongst a new group of characters in some kind of field-esque location where alien horses are the existing mode of transport. It all looks very cool, and a great early visuals primer for the modern sequel series finale.
