So yesterday there was a lot of news regarding Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, but it probably didn't seem like much compared to all of the Marvel news that has been released. There was a new teaser trailer that the played, and one of the most interesting parts of it went mostly unnoticed due to the amount of applause. At the end of some amazing footage was the iconic breathing of Darth Vader that closed out the trailer. Now, the trailer did show a lot of footage from the previous movies, which helped build up to the footage for the new movie, so the breathing may have just been added to cap it off, since everyone in the world recognizes it...or it could be something else. We already know that the burned up helmet of Darth Vader is going to make an appearance in the movie, and we already know that the Emperor is coming back, so why not Darth Vader? I don't know, I'm just spit balling here. It may have been nothing, but when have you ever known Disney or JJ Abrams to put something out there that was to miss lead people? Oh wait, they both do that all of the time. We'll just have to wait and see on this front. Speaking of the Emperor, he's making his first appearance in the movie's new poster. Check it out:
He's actually going to be playing a big part in the movie, if what the actors have to say is accurate. Daisy Ridley was being interviewed and had this to say:
"He's the biggest baddie in Star Wars history. Now that we've done the story, I'm like, it couldn't have happened any other way. It had to be that. But he's very instrumental to the plot of the film. It's not just like he appears again; it's all explained."
Okay, kind of cryptic. Here's what John Boyega had to say on the matter:
"I think the Emperor and his doctrine has trickled down to so many of the characters in the Star Wars universe. The Dark Side it is what it is because of a lot of his actions and plans. To have him come back, he's like the greatest for, the greatest enemy. I mean, we might as well take him down properly."
If you thought that those statements were intriguing, you should have seen the footage that they showed. It started off with the three main characters (Rey, Poe, and Finn) looking out over a desert planet. It then showed a bunch of Resistance fighters being chased by a swarm of Star Destroyers. I mean a ton! The best scene though was the one of Rey and Kylo Men having a lightsaber battle on top of the ruins of the Death Star, which looked to be sitting in a large body of water being savaged by a storm. The best part? Rey is wearing a black cloak and wielding a red, double-sided lightsaber! The Emperor can be heard in the voice over saying, "Now your journey nears its end."
So what does all of this mean? I have no idea, but I am getting pretty jazzed for this movie's release. IT's set to hit theaters December 20, 2019. Mark your calendars!
