So, what's the deal with Rise of Skywalker? Taking place one year after Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the galaxy has been shaken by the apparent resurrection of Emperor Palpatine - that crusty-faced villain from the first six films who got bumped off in Return of the Jedi. Now he's gathering an army to oversee the dominance of his new 'Final Order', and it's up to our heroes to stop him. Love it or hate it, there's no denying that this is a finale full of spectacle.
