admin On Monday night, The Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker’s second and final trailer is out and has left fans driven emotional. The sequence comes to an end with this final film in December, along with the announcement that tickets are now on sale. With the trailer reaction videos, social media posts, memes, and record-breaking presales, it seems its doubtful that the trailer release slipped under anyone’s radar.
Star Wars is always a big deal in any medium, and Star Wars fans are always a little — OK a lot — over-reactionary when it comes to a new theatrical release. But The Rise of Skywalker, which sees J.J. Abrams return to the director’s seat, is special. This latest installment, Episode IX, isn’t just the last installment of the sequel trilogy, but the last installment of the Star Wars Saga that began in 1977 with George Lucas’ Star Wars, now better known as A New Hope. But if, as we already know, Rise of Skywalker isn’t the end of the franchise — with more movies planned for release starting in 2022 — what, if anything, is really ending?
The trailer starts with Rey (Daisy Ridley) running away from a threat on a lush green planet, possibly Endor. She weeping how everyone has always said that they know her but no one really does. But Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) tells her that he does. The same cool shot from their fight on a half-drowned ship in a thunderstorm plays again.
The heroes back at base — Finn (John Boyega), Poe (Oscar Isaac) — band together and dark red ships take formation in various battlefields. Emperor Palpatine’s menacing voice looms large as he warns the heroes of their approaching end from behind the grave. However, we still only see his dark, stone cold throne.
One epic moment from the trailer shows Rey and Chewbacca take control of the Millennium Falcon, exchange a confident glance as Poe and Finn join them too. There are also shots of a hug between Rey and Princess Leia (the late Carrie Fisher), an emotional farewell from C-3PO, men riding horses on a spaceship, and yet another fight between Kylo and Rey.
