A new TV spot forThe Rise of Skywalkerhas been released with a ton of new footage. J.J. Abrams and crew seemed to want to put the spotlight on some of the villains in our latest look at the final installment in the Skywalker Saga. The Sith Troopers and The Knights of Ren are on full display as the Emperor says, “Your journey nears its end.” The journey for fans nears its end too, and the latest look at the movie makes that all the more evident.
TheSith Troopersare only seen for a brief moment inThe Rise of SkywalkerTV spot, but they look formidable. It’s unclear where their battle scenes were shot, but it looks like they are on a Star Destroyer like the Resistance is spotted on in previous promotional material. As forThe Knights of Ren, they are spotted in a desert terrain, which is more than likely the new planet Pasaana. It could very well be a return to Jakku, though it is uncertain if the highly anticipated sequel returns to Rey’s home planet.
J.J. Abrams and Chris Terrio wrote the story forThe Rise of Skywalker, which was based on thestory that Colin Trevorrow had already written. Trevorrow decided to leave the project over creative differences when Disney and Lucasfilm ordered rewrites. While we don’t know what Trevorrow’s story would have been, we do know that Abrams is the one responsible for bringing Emperor Palpatine back into the trilogy, which Trevorrow believes was a great idea.Star Warsfans seem to agree, since the hype for the movie is off the charts.
The Rise of Skywalkermarks the end of the Skywalker Saga. Lucasfilm and Disney will be concentrating on movies outside of the normal realm for the time being, which is something that most fans should be excited about.The Mandalorianis proving to be a huge hit with even the most negative of fans, which bodes well for the franchise moving forward.Jon Favreau and Dave Filoniwill definitely be overseeing moreStar Warsprojects in the future, since they have been the ones to tap into something universal.
The Rise of Skywalkerhits theaters on December 20th andThe Mandalorianwraps up a week after. With that being said, there have been a lot of fan theories connecting the two projects together. The rumors have been fueled by the fact that Disney+ is releasing two episodes in one week, with one coming the Wednesday beforeThe Rise of Skywalkerhits theaters. Is there a connection? There probably is, though we shouldn’t expect to see Baby Yoda there when the time comes.
