Oscar Isaac has talked about Star Wars: Episode IX as being the “end” and “culmination” of the entire Skywalker saga.
With December’s Star Wars: Episode IX acting as the last film in this new trilogy, fans are expecting the movie to close out things in a satisfying manner, tying the events of all three films together in an impactful way. But Episode IX’s task is actually bigger than that, with the film also being the last ever movie in the Skywalker saga.
Oscar Isaac has talked recently during an interview on the Today show (via ComicBook.com) about how Episode IX is the “end” and “culmination” of all nine movies, letting fans know what they can expect from the experience: “It is the end of the entire Skywalker saga. Nine stories. This is the culmination of the entire thing. What [director] JJ [Abrams] has done, and the entire Lucasfilm team, is incredibly fulfilling. It’s also special for us because you get to learn a lot more things about these characters.”
Audiences are eagerly anticipating how the film will bring together elements of all three trilogies and finish off the epic story that has spanned decades. It’s quite the task and for many, its December release date can’t come soon enough.
