Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
In the real world, Star Wars Episode IX was entitled The Rise of Skywalker and premiered in December 2019. While multiple unnumbered films set in the Star Wars universe were released prior, The Rise of Skywalker was promoted as the conclusion of the numbered Skywalker Saga, fulfilling Fitz's claim to have seen all nine Star Wars films in the 2040s. However, it ultimately did not feature Jar Jar Binks, nor was the franchise still controlled by George Lucas by this point.
Among its stars were Richard E Grant, Jimmy Vee, Naomi Ackie, Shirley Henderson, Vinette Robinson and Warwick Davis.
