After the galaxy is saved, Rey reveals her new lightsaber, and watches the binary suns of Tatooine as the credits roll. With the movie at an end, some audience members might be wondering if there’s more to the story beyond the credits, or if there’s some kind of post credits scene or stinger teasing what’s coming next for the Star Wars franchise. In case you’re one of the people hoping for a post credits scene at the end of The Rise of Skywalker, no need to wait around after the final scene. There’s no post credits scene attached to the movie.
This shouldn’t come as a surprise, considering that no Star Wars movie has featured a post credits scene thus far. The closest the franchise has ever come to a stinger is the coda scene at the end of The Last Jedi, featuring a Force-sensitive boy dreaming of adventure in the stars. For now, the post credits gimmick remains a Marvel Cinematic Universe tradition.
Fans looking for more Star Wars stories beyond The Rise of Skywalker have plenty of upcoming movies and TV series to look forward as well as quite a few great books. The final chapter of the Sequel Trilogy is out now.
