As the world premiere gets underway, a plethora of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker spoilers have leaked online. We won't be sharing any major reveals from the movie here (they're easy enough to find if you're determined to ruin the movie for yourself), but we have posted the opening crawl below.
The Star Wars opening crawls have always set the scene for what's the come, while serving as a bridge between films. They usually don't contain anything too spoiler-y, and the Rise of Skywalker's is no exception.
Truth be told, there's really not a whole lot here that you couldn't have figured out already if you've been keeping an eye on the various trailers and TV spots, but if you'd rather wait until you're sitting in the theater to experience that iconic Star Wars blast and read the intro for yourselves, best stop scrolling here!
Please don't post spoilers in the comments!
