Star Wars : The Rise of Skywalkerwill see Rey and Kylo battle once again , as teased in a promotional effigy ( above ) that wasrecently loose in Vanity Fair . verbalise on theHappy Sad Confusedpodcast , Ridley hyped up the fight and explained how it was both grueling to film ( due to the body of water being thrown around ) , but also easy than previous competitiveness thanks to the new lightsaber props :
" We have a great scrap . A slap-up fight . And I was really happy that the Vanity Fair pictures did show a fleck of it . It ’s a great fight . Like I ’ve become such a better fighter and they made the lightsabers lighter , so it actually looks like we ’re swinging light and not like big , cloggy [ swords ] . "
Based on the water surrounding them , it looks like this fight takes blank space amid the ruins of the second Death Star , which was shown in the first teaser trailer forStar Wars : The raise of Skywalker , having fall into an ocean on Endor . Ridley croak on to explain that the competitiveness was filmed with water crashing around herself and Kylo Ren actor Adam Driver , and that the tempestuous conditions will be enhance even further with VFX :
" This fight , we did , it was November , we had H2O being thrown at us , and I got a great deal of esteem because I did not , I was ' I ’m not gon na complain about the cold , I ’m just not gon na do it ( laughs)—so it was like a veridical thing of stamen . It feel really epic , and it felt epic even at the time . Imagine , we had the waves like this , and they ’re gon na make the waves big , and one can only imagine what it ’s gon na look like . "
Both Rey and Kylo have survived their premature lightsaber battles , but with this being the final movie of the saga ( and this fight likely taking spot inThe Rise of Skywalker ’s third act ) , this may well be a competitiveness where only one of them walks forth at the death . As for how Darth Sidious is involved , and thesignificance of the Death Star ’s ruin … well , we ’ll have to wait until December for the answers to those questions .
