The official trailer for “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” debuted during halftime of ESPN’s Monday night NFL match up between the New England Patriots and the New York Jets.
The two-minute-long trailer took viewers through the many galaxies of the Star Wars universe while focusing on the battle between the light and dark sides of the Force represented in Daisy Ridley’s Rey and Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren.
Take a look below at the trailer below:
The new clip focuses on the looming showdown between the Resistance, personified by the Jedi warrior Rey (Daisy Ridley), and the First Order, led by Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). As in the earlier trailer, Lando Calrissian (Billy Dee Williams) is seen riding alongside Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo), and another returning character, the villainous Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid), is heard only in voice-over.
The studio has kept the ninth and concluding chapter of the so-called “Skywalker saga” largely under wraps, putting out only an initial trailer in April and then a “Special Look” promo in August that was long on footage previously seen in earlier films.
