film is it seems to be a hit with fans. all across the country last night, people lined up to see "star wars: the rise of skywalker" this is the ninth and final film in the skywalker saga which began 42 years ago, can you believe that? >> wow. >> some fans showed their dedication to the franchise by going to see the movie in full costume, equipped with lightsabers and all. >> we agreed that if she broke her water in the theater we were going to wait to finish the movie and go to the hospital. >> if she breaks her water in the theater -- >> ooh. okay, i say don't do that but okay. they're in charge, they're adults. fans might have liked the movie but it's getting mixed reviews from film critics. "star wars" has a 57% on rotten tomatoes. >> nobody who loves "star wars" cares about that, seriously.

you're going anyway. i don't know about you guys about you in my social media feed i saw a lot of families, friends and family headed to the theater. close to obsession. >> are any of these "star wars" fans? >> i'm not. >> i have gone to cover one of these big nights with the lines and somebody found out that i had never seen a "star wars" movie and we got into a light january saber match on tv. in el paso, texas. >> did you win? >> i said out live you've never fought a latina before. the force was with me. >> if you have that clip i want to see it. >> i'll put it up. >> we want to see that. >> all right. >> it's all about community really. >> yes so it's fun. we're looking for things to do headed into the holidays. people will be going shopping, also checking out some of the holiday light delays but hey, it's friday morning. we still have to get to work and as you step out the door, it is cool. the coolest temperature right now in the tri-valley, livermore

at 42 degrees. it's 50 in oakland and 50 in santa rosa. we have a lot more clouds moving in, none of the clouds dropping any rain as we look at storm ranger, that's the red scan, our mobile doppler radar picking up on a dry start for our weekend. the seven-day forecast is already up at the bottom of the screen, and notice for tomorrow, it shows a lot of clouds, but the rain especially for san francisco doesn't come in, until late tomorrow evening, and so as we go hour by hour today, we start out with those cool temperatures, and then start to make it into the low 60s for this afternoon, even some mid-60s for the south bay. it's been a while since we've had weather this warm so we're going to make plans to get out there and enjoy it today and then tomorrow it's the first day of winter, and it's winter solstice, and i know a lot of people think that when it's winter for especially in our area, that the earth is closer to the sun, but actually it's the farthest point away. the thing is that it's tilted a

little bit farther to the south, so the direct sun rays are actually hitting the tropic of caprico capricorn, and so our first day of winter once again tomorrow, and the sunrise will be at 7:17. sunset at 4:53, a short day. we only have 9 hours and 35 minutes to enjoy that sunshine for tomorrow, and we're going to see a lot of clouds, too. but it is the shortest day of the year first day of winter. and going hour by hour, we're going to see that rain starting to move in to ukiah by about 6:00. most of us won't see that rain until early sunday morning. look at the time line. we're at 4:30 and it's really starting to hit the peninsula, just moving in to oakland and approaching san jose, and then notice by 8:00, it's quickly rushing off toward the east, and then it's out of here, so the rest of the day, it does look like it will have a chance to dry out, but that rain will be heavy even though it will be fast moving, so it could drop a quarter to close to half inch of

rain for the coastal areas. you go to the north bay and those rain totals will be higher, closer to an inch of rain for the sierra this weekend. it's going to mostly come down as rain and then change over to snow. we're only looking at two to six inches of snow but that will make it a little slippery if you're going there for the weekend. headed into christmas eve, we'll see another chance of rain late christmas eve into christmas day, and temperatures on the cool side, only reaching the low 50s inland. vianey tracking the roads. how is it looking this morning? >> looking good. i like how you have santa claus waving at us on your seven-day graphic. i wish i could throw him on my traffic map somewhere. maybe i could throw him in a car somewhere. right now we have good conditions out on the roads. overall we've had a couple of fender benders overnight. those have cleared out. no major accidents to report. drive times southbound 101 van ness to sfo, 11 minutes. southbound 101 sfo to highway 92 five minutes. so how is it looking in oakland? because 880 in both directions,

this tends to get pretty busy especially around this time, exactly what's happening right now. at least there are no accidents, it's just the typical morning buildup. the bay bridge toll plaza also looking a little foggy. you saw that image that kari showed of the city. the fog is starting to creep into the bay bridge toll plaza and things are starting to slow down out there. i can picture the lights turning on any time now. this is not the san mateo bridge, that is downtown san jose but your bridge drive times have started to slow especially for westbound 80 toward the bay bridge. looking at about 11 minutes, westbound 82 toward the san mateo bridge only 13 minutes, and westbound 84 toward the dumbarton bridge nine minutes and kris, i'm going to find that lightsaber video cap. >> you have it? >> i would like to retract a statement i made. i think i said i won, i'm a latina so i'm never wrong. i think my lightsaber broke off. >> you better win. we were talking a minute ago about the "star wars" movie

coming out and vianey did a live shot in el paso, texas. >> el paso, texas, they don't play with their "star wars." >> a lot of people don't play with their "star wars" they're big fans. >> you've never seen a "star wars" movie and there took offense. >> i went and you know what happened? the turn of events happened when he asked me twhat movies have yu lined up for? "twilight" he was like really, "twilight" but not "star wars." >> was it like that? >> exactly. >> special effects. >> this is vianey in battle. >> there you are in costume. >> i think we have it. let's look at it. >> let's see it. oh my goodness. >> oh, man. can you hear it? >> i don't know if we can hear it. >> oh. >> we don't have sound. this is vianey, okay. >> i'm at the el paso theater out there, and this is literally like near, if you're from el

paso we have a couple of viewers from el paso. >> i worked there as well, too. >> there he is, look. look at this. bam, bam. i think i was making noises in this. >> you didn't put your microphone down. >> but i want to just spoiler alert, but -- >> i said you've never fought a latina before. >> oh. >> all right, so -- >> vianey, you're bad to the bone. you had him until then. >> i had him. i had him. >> that's too much. >> thanks, vianey. 5:21 right now. brazen car break-ins. across the bay the new action local law enforcement is taking to protect their items during the holiday shopping rush. a growing problem at lax reveals a lot of the flights through there, the shocking
