The Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker world premiere takes place tonight, and you can watch the red carpet festivities from the comfort of your own home. Indeed, you can watch the Rise of Skywalker premiere livestream in the YouTube embed above starting at 5:50pm PT / 8:30pm ET, and it sounds like the stars will be out in full force to celebrate the final installment of the Skywalker Saga—a film that, per co-writer and director J.J. Abrams, aims to bring to a conclusion the story arc that began with A New Hope or The Phantom Menace, depending on which you consider the “first” Star Wars movie.
Scheduled to appear at the Rise of Skywalker premiere are the many cast members from the film, including Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, and Palpatine himself Ian McDiarmid. But also in attendance will be a number of interesting special guests like Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, Frank Oz, Ava DuVernay, Spike Lee, Damon Lindelof, and Jar Jar Binks himself Ahmed Best.
You can also expect to see Abrams, Kathleen Kennedy, John Williams, Jon Favreau, and Dave Filoni on the livestream. How much they’ll say, what they’ll say, and how they’ll say it will remain a mystery until they stop by the camera.
