14 Upcoming Movies That Will Definitely Make You Cry

2. Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Star Wars The Force Awakens Princess Leia
Lucasfilm

Release Date: December 15

The Plot: Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega) and Poe (Oscar Isaac) take their next heroic steps forward with the help of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), while the threat of Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) looms once again.

Why You'll Cry: The reason you'll leave the cinema with soggy eyes has nothing really to do with The Last Jedi's narrative, but rather that this will be the final movie appearance of Carrie Fisher, who of course passed away suddenly late last year.

Though the film was completed before her death and so won't acknowledge this in any major way, seeing Princess Leia's final moments on screen will still be an extremely wrenching experience for fans, especially as it seems likely that she'll receive some sort of credits tribute that's sure to be an added emotional gut-punch.
