The Rise of Skywalker’s Theatrical Trailer, Poster Arrive!

The final battle for everything, for the dark and the light, explodes across The Rise of Skywalker‘s epic theatrical trailer. The scale and scope of the final Skywalker Saga film already feels befitting of an ending for a 42 year old franchise. There’s some excellent, stunning shots in this trailer, especially with the iceberg asteroid planet thing, the BIG ship battle that makes the Battle of Endor look like a child’s play time, the sweeping shots of Rey’s training, Jannah leading the space horse brigade into battle, Emperor Palpatine hosted in something mechanical with Rey standing strong before him, Threepio’s goodbye, and the seemingly never ending lightsaber duel between Kylo Ren and Rey; I wouldn’t be mad if their duel rages throughout most of the film, to be honest. Luke’s words here, and having him and Leia deliver the last line together, is the chilling, tear-inducing icing on the cake. Head below for the theatrical poster, some musings from the interwebs, and screenshots to only make the wait for December 20 feel even further away.

Here are some fun observations across the interwebs about the trailer:

Showing Rey and the Sequel Trilogy coming full circle

Rey seems to be holding a dagger in the shot of her and Kylo destroying a black structure together (which I’ve theorized is a stand for Kylo’s burnt Vader helmet)

The creepy, spiked throne? Ralph McQuarrie’s idea, a long, long time ago! This thing really is coming full circle!

Looks like it’s Lando and Chewie piloting the Falcon in the big fleet scene

The ship junkies have discerned all they can from the shot of entire Resistance fleet.

And here’s a screenshot of nearly every moment from the trailer, via FanthaTracks. While you can grab some GIFs from the official site’s highlights from the trailer.
