EPISODE IX: TRAINED TO RESIST!

Two heroes who abandoned the tyranny and fear of being within the First Order, Finn and his new friend and fellow warrior, Jannah, prepare to attack the heart of the original Empire's hidden forces, using unorthodox and truly unexpected, audience-pleasing battle tactics in the action-packed finale to The Rise of Skywalker.

EPISODE IX: A RISK TOO FAR?

As the power and dangers of Kylo Ren and Rey's epic lightsaber duel on the Death Star II wreck intensifies, former First Order Stormtrooper Jannah has to retrain her new friend Finn from any life threatening interference to the sparring duo, in another memorable moment from The Rise of Skywalker, out now on all home entertainment formats.

Despite a relatively small role in the film's final third, I was very impressed with Naomi Ackie's performance as Jannah, and hope she/the character gets to appear in another Star Wars adventure somewhere down the line...

The sequel films have been blessed with some of the best and brightest young British acting talents in key roles, forefront most notably Daisy Ridley and John Boyega. Now, Naomi Ackie joins that special roll-call for The Rise of Skywalker, playing the so far origins-shrouded survivor, soon Resistance fighter and spirited heroine Jannah, joining our regular heroes (proving especially well-teamed with Finn) by the adventure's all-out finale.
