The brand new Episode IX footage was launched as a part of the D23 occasion – increasing upon the earlier Star Wars Celebration teaser with contemporary photographs of nostalgia and beautiful motion. One of many largest gasp-worthy moments got here courtesy of Rey (Daisy Ridley) wanting notably Sith-esque and wielding a crimson, double-bladed lightsaber.
The story is predictably being stored below wraps. Kevin Smith, nevertheless, has been extraordinarily enthusiastic concerning what he noticed when he visited the set and has promised that it will soften followers’ minds. Directed by J.J. Abrams, who additionally helmed The Drive Awakens, the brand new installment will see the aforementioned Ridley joined by John Boyega’s Finn, Oscar Isaac’s Poe Dameron, and franchise newcomer Keri Russell as Zorii Bliss. Looking for to finish the risk nonetheless posed by Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and his forces – in addition to a seemingly returned Emperor Palpatine – the remaining rebels will even journey to the ruins of a Dying Star.

Modifying the second Rey is revealed in full Sith apparel and sporting a Palpatine-esque gaunt look, the lightsaber seems at first to be the identical ominous weapon from the trailer. In the mean time she collapses it down, although, is when it is revealed that it is not solely a double-bladed lightsaber but in addition boasts such options as a corkscrew, tweezers, and extra. Take a look at the temporary, hilarious edit under:
The D23 trailer teased Rey coaching along with her lightsaber in a forest – throwing it at a coaching distant, main it to chop by means of bushes earlier than finally returning to her hand. As such, every of the opposite instruments would undoubtedly turn out to be useful for a budding Jedi Grasp. Particularly for wants past defeating your enemies, like opening wine and an excessive sports activities model of toenail clipping. Though, with reference to enemies, it will be notably useful too. It will actually give her an added benefit over Kylo Ren and his private Sith Troopers. And will Rey legitimately go to the Darkish Facet, the potential makes use of for such implements would little doubt be equally darkish.
There is a part of followers that also root for Kylo Ren to realize redemption. Whereas it is actually doable, particularly given Abrams’ penchant for echoing the previous, it will seem that Kylo is reverting to his Drive Awakens self. Equally, the trailer and poster each prominently function Kylo and Rey locked in an intense battle. Provided that, it is secure to say that they’re going to be foes for not less than chunk of the film. How issues finally finish between them, nevertheless, stays to be seen. Sadly, the identical in all probability cannot be stated for a Swiss Military Lightsaber within the precise motion pictures.
