During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, J. J. Abrams commented on the daunting task of bringing the Star Wars saga to a close. As J. J. Abrams explained, Star: Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will provide a cohesive ending to all nine chapters of the main saga:
“This is about bringing this thing to a close in a way that is emotional and meaningful and also satisfying in terms of actually answering [as many] questions as possible. So if years from now, someone’s watching these movies, all nine of them, they’re watching a story that is as cohesive as possible.”
