The Rise of Skywalker panel treated fans at the Brazil Comic-Con Experience 2019 to a special look at the friendships made by the actors as they filmed the latest installment in the Star Wars universe. Featuring footage from earlier films as well as The Rise of Skywalker, this friendship featurette showed how creating worlds has created friendships among the stars of this iconic series.
The Rise of Skywalker Friendship Featurette
As a long-time Star Wars fan, I really enjoyed seeing how the actors behind the rolls came together off-screen as well as on in this featurette. Seeing these iconic actors forge bonds that go beyond the camera added another layer to my understanding of the Star Wars universe and how the people in it build both it and the characters within it.

Love it! We are huge Star Wars fanatics here, so anything about this Lucas Films franchise interests us.
You know I am too, Laura! Star Wars movies are all so good.
I just watched a trailer the other day, and I feel this one will be just as good, if not better, than the Last Jedi. I can’t wait to take the family!
I still have not watched a Star Wars movie that I could say I did not like.
I can’t believe how far Star Wars has come. I really need to catch up and rewatch them all before this.

It was fun watching Star Wars beyond the camera. I need to show this to mu husband that it’s a Star Wars fan!
