STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER Poster Features Rey, Kylo Ren, And The Return Of The Emperor

A new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker trailer hasn't been released during Comic-Con but we do have a jaw-dropping new poster which features an intense lightsaber battle and The Emperor's return...

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was the focus of Lucasfilm's portion of the Walt Disney Studios panel at D23 and while some footage was shown to those in attendance, there are sadly no plans for that (or a new trailer) to be released online at this time.

However, a description has been revealed courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter and they say that it "included a fleet of dozens of star destroyers in the atmosphere of a planet. Rey and Kylo Ren appeared, fighting on a downed ship in the middle of the ocean as waves crashed around them. The biggest shot occurred at the end: Rey wearing a dark hood, sporting a double lightsaber."
 
Sounds awesome, right?

With that, comes a brand new poster which shows an intense lightsaber battle between Kylo Ren and Rey, while The Emperor's shadow looms large in the background. He's baaaaack...

the RLM guys might have been onto something when they were predicting this movie's plot...

Very interesting that the Emperor has a physical form. That's a bunch of fan theories out the window already

Apparently Rey was wielding a Darth Maul style double edged red lightsaber, I'm still betting on her being a clone of luke!

I don't have much to add outside of the fact that Adam Driver's a great actor, and out-acts everyone in these films, so I hope he continues to have a great career after this wraps.

@TheDoctor1225 Yeah Marvel was underwhelming and way to short. I'm kinda thinking/hoping they will be back at the very end, like how they teased Serpent Society and then at the end of there presentation revealed it was going to be Civil War. So hoping that in the end, Marvel shows up with one more announcement, doesn't really matter what (X-Men, F4, Spidey or something else), just anything besides what we got now, even Black Panther 2, while getting a release date is nice, we already knew that was coming. So on the movie front NOTHING new as of now.

@Tcb97 - Why tf did they announce only one of their 2022 films? That's what I don't get.

OT: Gemma Chan is playing Sersi in The Eternals (https://twitter.com/TheEricGoldman/status/1165316193558728704).

Wait...that must mean that Captain Marvel isn't canon, since she notably just played Minn-Erva.

😐🤔

@EskimoJ - She's not the first MS actor to play two roles.

I’m fully expecting Rey with the hood and double red lightsabers to be a dream sequence. Otherwise there’s no way they spoil it in a trailer.

@WakandanQueen - I know, my queen, I'm mocking those who say that an actor playing multiple roles somehow de-canonizes whatever other property they appeared on.

The Emperor looks like a cartoon.

That poster looks great! And I'm excited to see Rey use a double sided lightsaber, her experience with a staff will mean she's better suited for it.


OT: First picture of Cruella revealed

"Sounds awesome"? Am I the only one who's getting tired of "and the good guy appears to be bad" and magnifying everything to make it bigger, better, more "epic" - dude, she's got a Double-lightsaber!!! I mean, just give me a good story, first and foremost. The graphics could be cool, but make sure you are ending the story right first.

I like it. It's kind of reminiscent of the Revenge of theJedi poster. I'm assuming that's on purpose.
