Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Hollywood Premiere
Right now, as I type, audiences are enjoying the first few moments of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
And even though three or four “sleeps” seems like a long time, Thursday (for me) and Friday (for many) will be here soon.

Watch The “Blue Carpet” Premiere of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
However, until then, we can all enjoy the “Blue Carpet” World Premiere of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
For me, the most poignant part of the evening was delivered by Daisy Ridley. Asked what she would like to say to fans, Ridley told “The Star Wars Show” co-host Anthony Carboni:
“In this dark and divisive time in the world, films like this really matter. Star Wars has mattered to people for 42 years. I think there’s a reason it has endured. And we really hope that everybody feels good leaving this film. And maybe when you are leaving the theater, why don’t you talk to the person next to you. Say, ‘Hi!’ You know? Let’s have a moment of connection.”
Daisy Ridley
Agreed. Enjoy the show and the movie. #MTFBWY
