The Stunning New ‘Star Wars’ Trailer Teases Rey’s Turn To The Dark Side
May the force be with her.
Breathe slowly, nerds. Fresh of its screening at Disney’s D23 Expo over the weekend, the new trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is here, and yes, Rey is looking awfully… well… Sith-y.
The trailer actually starts with a montage of footage from the past eight chapters in the Skywalker saga. We see Leia, Luke, Han, Chewie, Obi-Wan, Padme, and that mopey kid with the bowl cut, before whipping through the new crop of characters, including Poe, Finn and BB8.
But the real stars are Kylo Ren and Rey, whose lightsaber duel during a storm surrounded by crashing waves looks absolutely epic.
And speaking of lightsabers, that double-edged red number Rey’s flipping around at the end there doesn’t bode well for those of us hoping for a happy ending. Especially not with Emperor Palpatine muttering menacingly in the background.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hits cinemas in Australia on December 20.
