I love the look of Rey's new costume. It reminds me of Leia's from a new hope.

The closest things were those ugly ski speeders in the rebel base siege scene of TLJ. They were also made by Verpine (who I just found out are canon).

LOL. There are so many possible ways to answer this question.
I think the pilot of the interceptor, which is probably Kylo Ren, is trying to kill her.

Actually Kylo Ben's TIE Silencer in TLJ is Interceptor-like, but the new ship's cockpit does seem more spherical.

Hey, it's a legitimate tactic for a Jedi! The same thing was done in Rebels at least once by Kanan Jarrus. That was in the episode with the space whales as I recall.  *waits for Whill's inevitable exasperated groan/rant/sigh on all things Rebels* 8)

You just had to bring up the hyperspace whales of all things when you task me to not groan about Rebels. That's quite clever.
In my defense, I feel I've been more balanced in my responses to Rebels. There are a handful thing I really like about it, and I am on record for giving it credit where credit is due.
Plus, for better or worse, I think it is extremely likely that Ezra and Sabine are Rey's parents, and that at least Thrawn will appear in TRoS. But let's please try to keep discussion of Rebels in the Rebels thread until we have confirmation of that, or at least until we get several pages deep into this thread. 8)

...but according to this guy's analysis, it's wreckage of the first Death Star. If so, then it could be Yavin IV or another one of Yavin's moons. Yavin IV isn't necessarily all jungle with no bodies of water anywhere on the planet. The ancient temples on Yavin IV could have have something to do with the Jedi, Sith, Whills, etc. Plus the first Death Star has been central to the plots of two Star Wars films, one of those being a Disney film (and it appeared in RotS). And TFA, Abrams first Star Wars film, is a reprise of ANH. Another clue is the medal from ANH. |
That is my guess too, especially seeing how there seems to be a push to show the dark side rising somewhat..

But wouldn't it just be easier for him to HOVER near and shoot the hell out of her??

| Not everything in a trailer makes the final cut, or is even intended to do so. Many awesome things and awful lines were gone from R1's trailers when we finally saw it in theaters. I personally like the TIE-jumping scene for some reason I can't articulate. But it's not worth dissecting the sensibility of a fight scene anyway, now that JJ Abrams is in charge, we're presumably back to "fiery fingers of doom weaving through the sky" levels of disbelief. This is no longer a Space Opera, it's Space Opera Camp. Like Space Camp(1986), only, there will be sad songs in Italian. |

Thanks, I thought it was a good one too. 8) And to be fair, I didn't task you to not groan, I just knew it was inevitable that you would (or could choose to) groan at it and I was just waiting for it. The decision to groan or not groan was always with you. 8)

Agreed. But it was still fun to poke fun at you about it. 
Speaking of the trailer, did you guys see the clip of Ian McDiarmid (AKA the Emperor himself) at Star Wars Celebration?

I think she was quite moderate here. Better this than Galen Marek style

The title is a dyslexic nerd's nightmare. Sometimes in my mind I am misplacing the "the" in the title, making it Rise of the Skywalker instead of The Rise of Skywalker. I can already see me interchanging TRoS with RotS.
Did anyone else notice the rocket troopers starting at 1:29 in the video? That could be cool.
And the next shot of some skiff chase with Threepio standing up holding on to a pole gives me some anxiety, but that was probably by design. I want to yell, "Sit down, Threepio!" But it's not as bad as bringing Threepio on a rebel assault team mission in a forest with no camouflage.

I was in the room when I was fortunate to hear him say that!!!
It was truly an amazing 5 days. I was able to get some autographs that I've been wanting for awhile now (i.e. Ian McDiarmid's and Billy Dee Williams', and Katee Sakhoff (Bo Katan from Clone Wars, and Rebels))...
And to put icing on the cake, I actually won a Black Series' Stormtrooper Helmet (I never win anything) after seeing The Mandalorian panel... truly a great day. |

J.J. Abrams Met with George Lucas Before Making The Rise of Skywalker
| Quote: | When asked about the return of Emperor Palpatine, Abrams had this to say.
"This movie had a very, very specific challenge, which was to take eight films and give an ending to three trilogies, and so we had to look at, what is the bigger story? We had conversations amongst ourselves, we met with George Lucas before writing the script. These were things that were in real, not debate, but looking at the vastness of the story and trying to figure out, what is the way to conclude this? But it has to work on its own as a movie, it has to be its own thing, it has to be surprising and funny and you have to understand it." It's not clear what J.J. Abrams and George Lucas spoke about or what the iconic Star Wars director brought to the table for The Rise of Skywalker. However, since Abrams brought the director up after being asked about Emperor Palpatine, one might think Lucas had a hand in bringing the villain back to help tie everything together. Palpatine's voice was heard in The Force Awakens and Luke Skywalker briefly spoke about him in The Last Jedi. |
