Star Wars confirms location of Death Star wreckage seen in trailer

The Death Star is no more, but wreckage from the infamous space station will feature in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker – and here's where to find it.

The Rebel Alliance destroyed the remains of the Death Star in Return of the Jedi, as it orbited the forest moon of Endor, but a Disney Parks blog has since confirmed that its wreckage actually landed elsewhere.

Following a glimpse of a watery landscape in the latest trailer for The Rise of Skywalker, Disney has revealed that the new home of the damaged Death Star is actually an ocean moon named Kef Bir.

A post announcing an update to the Star Tours attraction at Disney World read: "Passengers who board the Starspeeder 1000 never know where in the galaxy their pilot C-3PO and navigator R2-D2 will take them.

"We've added flights to Jakku, Crait and even Batuu...

"In the trailers for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, you caught glimpses of the ocean moon Kef Bir. All I can say at this point is that Starspeeders will be heading there soon!"

While we're not sure how long it will take visitors to land on Kef Bir, we do at least know how long JJ Abrams' Rise of Skywalker will be when it hits cinemas later this year.

Beating Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi by just three minutes, Episode IX boasts an impressive 155-minute runtime, making it the longest Star Wars movie ever.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has a release date of Thursday, December 19 in the UK and Friday, December 20 in the US.
