You probably watched the new TV spots above, before reading the rest of this article, if so, you already know there is quite a bit of new footage shown in both of these for Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker. The second of them above does also have the ‘Duel’ TV spot at the start, but it does go on to another which shows us Rey using the Jedi mind trick against some Stormtroopers.
The first one shows us the Sith troopers in action for the first time in their snazzy red outfits, and we also see a giant space monster of some kind, it has a similar feel to the space slug from Empire, but it’s certainly something new I think. It’s also certain that in this encounter with the monster that Poe is the one piloting the Falcon, and I don’t see any sign of Rey with them.
With regards to the Sith troopers we still don’t fully know what role they have to play, though one would assume they are something to do with the return of Darth Sidious aka Palpatine in this movie. That first ‘Duel’ TV spot does have a nice voice over line from the baddest man in the Star Wars Galaxy. Though bas as he may seem, I’ll pretty much guarantee that he is getting somehow killed at the climax of this movie, how many times can he survive after all?
