Last Updated on August 2, 2021

STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER brought the nine-film Skywalker Saga to a conclusion last December and the film is finally available to watch in the comfort of your own home, and not a moment too soon as many of us will likely be spending much more time binging TV shows and movies in the coming weeks. The J.J. Abrams directed film was recently released on Digital and Disney has released the first ten minutes of The Skywalker Legacy, a feature-length documentary which charts the making of the film.

The clip begins with footage of fans gathered outside the Tatooine set of RETURN OF THE JEDI, with one excitedly exclaiming. "By the time all 9 films are done… I’m afraid to see what you guys are going to come up with." You have no idea, my young friend. You can check out the rest of the clip above! In addition to The Skywalker Legacy, the home-media releases of STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER will also include:

  • Pasaana Pursuit: Creating the Speeder Chase – Dive into the making of the movie's epic landspeeder chase and discover how this spectacular sequence was brought to the screen.
  • Aliens in the Desert – See what it took to create the Pasaana desert scenes, from the sheer scale and complexity of the shoot to its colorful details.
  • D-O: Key to the Past – Explore the ship that connects Rey to the mystery of her missing parents and get to know the galaxy's newest, irresistible droid.
  • Warwick & Son – Warwick Davis, who played Wicket in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, dons the Ewok costume once more; this time joined by his son Harrison.
  • Cast of Creatures – The team behind the film's memorable creatures reveal the puppetry, makeup, prosthetics and digital magic that bring them to life!

Whether or not you enjoyed how THE RISE OF SKYWALKER concluded the saga, it's safe to say that the future of the franchise will be quite different as Disney moves out from the shadow of the Skywalker clan. STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER is now available on Digital, and will soon be released on DVD/Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD on March 31st.
