Star Wars fans camp out on Hollywood Boulevard. More here: StarWars: TheRiseOfSkywalker
LOS ANGELES - Colorful droids and armor-clad stormtroopers rubbed shoulders with Hollywood VIPs on Monday at the world premiere of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” the ninth and final movie episode in the sci-fi fable of a celebrated Jedi master.
Staff waving glowing light sabers guided premiere attendees, among them “Star Wars” royalty Daisy Ridley and Mark Hamill, to the event’s ceremonial blue carpet under a large tent, outfitted to resemble a spaceship hangar beneath a star-lit sky. Replicas of three X-wing Starfighters dangled overhead. Other invited A-listers not involved in making “Rise of Skywalker” included directors Steven Spielberg and Spike Lee and actress Frances McDormand.
It concludes a story that began 42 years ago, in 1977, when filmmaker George Lucas introduced a young hero named Luke Skywalker and delighted audiences with a galaxy of metallic robots called droids, a race of tall, furry warriors known as Wookiees and a host of other eclectic characters.
