A Star Wars end credits scene is the cherry on the icing on the cake – but does The Last Jedi have one?

The Star Wars tradition is not to have an extra slice of action after the credits roll. But there’s been speculation that this year, things are a bit different.

We suggest you stop reading now if you don’t want any spoilers about the new Episode VIII film.

So is there an after credits scene following The Last Jedi and should you keep your bums in your seats to watch it?

While there is no further Star Wars footage after The Last Jedi, there IS an end of credits treat.

After the credits have finished, the words, ‘In loving memory of our princess, Carrie Fisher’, appear on the screen.

It’s the ultimate tribute to Carrie, who played Princess Leia in the franchise and who died on December 27 last year.

Carrie starred in five of the Star Wars films.

She appeared in�?Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977), Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Star Wars: Episode VI – Return Of The Jedi (1983) and Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakes (2015).

She also makes an appearance in The Last Jedi, which had been filmed before her death.

Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi is in cinemas now.
