Disney has issued a rare warning to cinema owners around the world urging them to notify customers that watching the latest installment in the Star Wars franchise, Rise of Skywalker, may be dangerous for certain viewers.
Set for release on December 20, the J.J. Abrams-directed feature is said to include a number of visuals and sustained flashing lights sequences that may trigger seizures for Star Wars fanatics with photosensitive epilepsy
For around three percent of people with epilepsy, sustained exposure to flashing lights at certain intensities, or certain visual patterns, can trigger seizures. In other cases, the lights can also trigger migraines.
The studio has also notified the Epilepsy Foundation of the possible health risk, which posted an advisory of their own Friday, saying they were working in tandem with Disney to provide additional information for how to prevent a seizure from occurring.

The preparations mark a stark contrast to the summer of last year, when Disney was fiercely criticized on social media for failing to notify viewers about the strobe and flashing lighting featured throughout Pixar's eagerly awaited Incredibles 2.
In their letter, Disney said that out of an ‘abundance of caution' they were recommending that all movie theaters hand out information to customers in person and publish warnings online of Rise of Skywalker's strobe effects, and how such sequences ‘may affect those who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy or have other photosensitivities'.

‘If you or someone you know are sensitive to lights, please consider the following as you make plans to watch the movie: Ask a friend to watch the movie first; Take your friend with you when you go see the film to alert you to which scenes contain the flashing lights so you block your eyes during those scenes; Teach your friend the three simple steps of seizure first aid — Stay, Safe, Side — so that they can assist if you have a seizure.'
