Disney and the Epilepsy Foundation are requesting theaters warn moviegoers about the potential risk.

“Out of an abundance of caution, 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,” Disney’s letter said, according to THR.

The Rise of Skywalker hits theaters on December 20th.
