Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Comes With A Seizure Warning

If you’re planning on seeing Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in theaters when it hits later this month and you’re prone to seizures, you may want to hang back a bit, at least earlier on. Disney has teamed up with the Epilepsy Foundation to let audiences know that the film has a seizure warning attached to it for “certain visuals and sustained flashing lights sequences, which can affect those with photosensitive epilepsy.”

Unfortunately, there are no specific details as to when in the movie this occurs (or under which specific plot points, complete with details surrounding the context of the story or relevant character info…), but Disney did release the following to exhibitors.

“Out of an abundance of caution,” Disney wrote, “we recommend that you provide at your venue box office and online, and at other appropriate places where your customers will see it, a notice containing the following information: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker contains several sequences with imagery and sustained flashing lights that may affect those who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy or have other photosensitivities.”

This isn’t the first time Disney has had to deal with something like this. Following Incredibles 2’s release, Disney had to put out a post-release statement surrounding the ScreenSlaver sequences in the flick, but at least this time they’re putting the word out ahead of time.

Of course, Star Wars itself has had “warnings” in the past, but of a stupider nature. Back when Star Wars: The Last Jedi came out, some theaters had to put a notice that a specific scene was purposely silent, and not the result of the theater’s speakers going out.

What do you think of this warning? Will you be going in a bit more carefully for this film? Let us know down below!
