Today is the day: the final Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker trailer will air today, on Carrie Fisher’s birthday.
It also marks the first day that you’ll be able to pre-order seats for the new film, which officially lands on screens in December.
The official Star Wars Twitter account has teased the new trailer, which will be broadcast during Monday Night Football. The second-long clip shows Rey, Chewie, Finn and Poe.
Carrie Fisher died suddenly in 2016, at the age of 60. Today – October 21st – would have been her 63rd birthday. Princess Leia will still appear in this movie, via previously unseen footage.
