Out in theaters now, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is the conclusion to an epic nine-film series—and Vanity Fair has been behind the scenes for most of it. Beginning in 1999 with The Phantom Menace, Annie Leibovitz and Vanity Fair have gotten exclusive access behind the scenes of the galaxy far, far away, talking to George Lucas as he returned to the world that he invented, then J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson as they took the reins for the most recent trilogy. In these stories, unlocked from the archive in celebration of all things Jedi and Sith, catch up with a 17-year-old Natalie Portman on the verge of global stardom, a production team that traveled to a real volcano to capture lava for a key scene in Revenge of the Sith, and Oscar Isaac on the set of The Rise of Skywalker, wondering why he'd traveled all the way out to the Jordanian desert only to film in front of a greenscreen. (There was good reason, we promise.)
