Star Wars The Rise Of Skywalker D23 Special Footage Is Here!

That’s right folks, the special footage shown of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker at this weekend’s D23 has finally made it online as promised. But, who am I kidding, you clicked in the video first and then watched this right?

Most of the trailer, as I am sure you have gathered, takes us through the previous eight Star Wars movies in the Skywalker Saga, though not in chronological order, but release order. Then finally we are treated s decent amount of new shots from Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker. Whilst it’s not much, it does give us footage not previously shown in the teaser trailer shown at Celebration.

I won’t break it down too much here, because I’ve honestly only managed to watch it twice. However we do seem some footage of a battle about to commence in space between what looks like the Resistance/Rebellion and the First Order/Empire. We also see Kylo Ren and Rey facing off next to some water, and that definitely looks like the Death Star planet we saw from the previous trailer to me. We get to see Rey chopping down some firewood using her lightsaber and then finally….. The part everyone is talking about, which is shown on the thumbnail and the scattered throughout this article, Rey wearing dark clothes and brandishing a double bladed red lightsaber, and looking very Sith like.

Now, we of course have no context for what is going on here, and I can think of a number of reasons why this might happen outside of the obvious. Saying that, perhaps the most surprising and interesting twist of this story would be for the obvious reasons, that Rey goes to the darkside. Could the switcheroo between Rey and Ben Solo that many of us theorised for The Last Jedi actually happen? I have to say I don’t think it will at this point, but without saying too much regarding spoilers, I’ll leave it you readers to offer up your theories on what is going on here?
