Now this is the footage you have been waiting for! At the D23 expo, Disney showcased some new footage from “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” and it teases what that end on the Star Wars Skywalker saga will look like.
The footage includes a fleet of dozens of Star Destroyers in the atmosphere of a planet. Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) appear in a later scene, fighting on a downed ship in the middle of the ocean as waves crashed around them. The biggest crowd-pleasing shot comes at the end of the teaser, with Rey wearing a dark hood, sporting a double lightsaber. The footage hasn’t been released online.
