It’s finally here!

It’s finally here!

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker is the thrilling culmination of the fantastic saga, and you can pre-order it on the Virgin Media Store

It’s taken more than 40 years to see how the story ends, but now it’s time for the final instalment!

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker, available to pre-order now on the Virgin Media Store

Whether your first experience of Star Wars was seeing it at the cinema in the 1970s, watching a VHS recording of a Christmas TV broadcast or streaming the super-shiny digitally remastered version on your tablet, we know one thing for sure – you’re as excited as we are for the imminent ninth chapter of the series, The Rise Of Skywalker.

 

Over the past few decades we’ve all followed the stories of Luke, Leia, Han, Anakin, Amidala, Rey, Finn and the rest, from the iconic original trilogy through to the incredible CGI visuals of the prequels to the latest breathtaking epics, The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. There may have been some bumps in the road but if anyone tells us they don’t have a tingle in their tummy in anticipation of this monumental climax, we just don’t believe them.

   


The new film will see Rey (Daisy Ridley) face her destiny, as Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren and the First Order try to crush the Resistance for good. The trailers have whetted our appetites for a showdown on a suitably grand galactic scale – but we’re also looking forward to seeing beloved characters like Leia (Carrie Fisher), Lando (Billy Dee Williams) and C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) return for one final hurrah, as well as intriguing new ones like Zorri Bliss (Keri Russell) and General Pryde (Richard E Grant). And there are even hints that Emperor Palpatine is back… or is he?!

 

You can pre-order The Rise Of Skywalker on the Virgin Media Store as soon as it’s released in cinemas, so it’ll be yours to buy and keep the moment it’s available.

 

But wait, there’s more!
