Watch the new ‘Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker’ trailer with a scary-looking ‘dark Rey’
- The teaser sparks the question: is this vision of “dark side” Rey a bit of misdirection?
“A thousand generations, but this is your fight.”
The voice-over of Mark Hamill’s Luke spans scenes from all nine Skywalker saga movies as it builds to spotlighting the battle that lies before Rey (Daisy Ridley) in Disney/Lucas film’s Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker, in the latest two-minute teaser.
The film’s new trailer, shown to an audience over the weekend at Disney’s D23 Expo, was released online Monday – as the hype and anticipation gather for the December release of J.J. Abrams’s Rise, which caps the franchise’s third trilogy.
We glimpse Rey ready to lock lightsabers with Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) in a showdown that mirrors the Star Wars poster image released over the weekend.
And the camera holds on a dark-hooded Rey as she turns on a double-sided red lightsaber – a moment that had “Dark Rey” trending on Twitter.
