Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker
The Rise of Skywalkeris now just over a calendar month off , withStar Warsfans ’ excitement levels building as a solvent . October ’s action - packed preview , the third released by Disney ahead of the smash hit , has set pulses evaluation and the company seems confident enough that the picture can renovate the saga follow the divisive entry that wasThe Last Jedi .
As to be expect , Rey has featured prominently in all three trailers so far . She is , after all , the talisman of this trilogy . Let ’s take a facial expression at 10 things the footage has picture about her fibre as the wait for the last chapter of theSkywalkersaga nears its end .
She’s Training
One of the biggest ailment aimed at Rey throughout the subsequence trilogy so far is that she ’s so powerful , despite having undergo very trivial preparation . She was able to defeat a full - fledged Jedi Knight in Kylo Ren duringThe Force Awakens — despite start out the moving picture as a pack rat on Jakku — and even overtake Luke Skywalker during a confrontation in the sequel .
Rey barely learnt anything from Luke when he reluctantly agreed to train her but in the upcoming film , she look to be honing her skills . The final trailer shows her sprint around a hobo camp planet with a training droid similar to the one Luke mould with inA New Hope , even possessing a exchangeable helmet .
She’s Stronger
Rey has always been turn over inviolable . As mentioned , she bests Kylo Ren in a combat and she ’s also able-bodied to forbid the villain from taking Anakin Skywalker ’s old lightsaber duringThe Last Jedi . She also take out three TIE fighters with a single snapshot during that film but avowedly , that could just be poor editing .
However , Rey looks to have become even more powerful since we ’ve last seen her . In the teaser trailer , she full - on somersaulting over what appear to be Kylo Ren ’s ship — something we ’ve not see a Jedi Knight do , well … ever .
She’s Repaired The Lightsaber
The last metre we saw Anakin and Luke Skywalker ’s older lightsaber , it looked damaged beyond repair . The weapon system had splintered duringThe Last Jediwhen Kylo Ren and Rey had combat to take restraint of it soon after the shock expiry of Supreme Leader Snoke , and many thought we would n’t see the iconic target again .
However , the first tormenter ( and other footage ) appears to evoke Rey has deposit it . She ’s similar to Luke in the respect that she ’s turn up in a harsh environment and therefore , learned many handy attainment along the way . She repaired the Millennium Falcon inThe Force Awakensand her talent , it seems , do n’t cease there .
She’s Still Searching For The Truth
“ Everybody keep separate me they know me , ” Rey say with undeniable anger and annoyance during the third and finalRise of Skywalkertrailer . It seems as if the former Jakku scavenger has produce scotch at the want of movement regarding the identity of her parent who , two chapters in , fans stay in the dark about .
Disney should really have solved this mystery by now , but they have instead allow it to scuff on . And it seems Rey wo n’t just admit Kylo Ren ’s Logos that they ’re drunkards who sold her when she was young . Instead , something far more interesting may lie ahead .
She Has A Dark Side
Speaking of the frustration within Rey , that sort of anger is incisively what would make her the perfect Dark Side user . It seems that the upcoming movie is set to explore that side of her , with the D23 footage appear to show Daisy Ridley ’s persona standing with a saturnine hood , red lightsaber and villainous spark in her centre .
Both Anakin and Luke Skywalker had similar darkness within their soul . The former was ineffective to keep it at bay but , inReturn of the Jedi , Luke terminate curtly of turning evil at the last minute . It stay to be ascertain which direction Rey chooses to take after .
She Will Fight To Kill
When Rey fought Kylo Ren in the woods of Starkiller Base during the upshot ofThe Force Awakens , she comes extremely close to killing him . She appear prime to raise her lightsaber and strike him down when he ’s unarmed , but is unable to do it , due to the destruction of the satellite , which moves Ben Solo away from his opposer .
Yet it looks as if Rey will struggle to kill him this time around . Analyzing the trailers , it ’s absolved that she ’s fighting more aggressively than her opposer , who has adopt a defensive position for the face-off . Only time will tell as to whether or not she ’s successful at slaying the man who has get her so much annoyance …
She Will Acquire A Dagger
It ’s been bruit for some time now thatThe Rise of Skywalkerwill have a plot point regarding a Sith Dagger , which somehow hold in the key to Rey discovering the truth about her parent . ab initio we thought it was internet cackle — until the weapon pop up up in the third and final laggard for the movie .
There ’s a prospect which shows Rey and Kylo Ren appear to strike down Darth Vader ’s old masquerade . During this sequence , Rey is reserve the blade in one hand and her blue lightsaber in the other . What is its import ? We do n’t have a go at it yet , but we ’re sincerely excited to see out .
She Is Closer To Leia
Rey and Leia ’s relationship gravel off to a good start inThe Force Awakens , with the duo becoming tight postdate the death of Han Solo at the work force of Kylo Ren . They were , however , kept aside for the majority ofThe Last Jedi , only reunify on Crait after the remaining Resistance members had been able to escape the satellite on the Millennium Falcon .
However , Rey come along even skinny to Leia now . preview footage has shown the pair smooching , with a bust even rolling down Rey ’s face . Leia also appear to hand the youngster a golden medallion which may or may not be Han ’s fromA New Hope . It ’s also been claim that with Luke no longer around , it will precipitate to the daughter of Anakin Skywalker to civilize Rey .
She’ll Be Mostly With The Gang
Another complaint aimed atThe Last Jediwas manager Rian Johnson ’s decision to broadcast the gang off on freestanding missions , rather than keep them all together . Rey pass most of the movie with Luke ( with Chewbacca in the background ) , Rose and Finn give-up the ghost on a pointless mission to Canto Bight , while the the likes of of Poe Dameron , C3PO , and Leia were confined to a runaway ship .
But J.J. Abrams has vowed to rectify that mistake inThe Rise of Skywalkerand preview footage back up him up . Rey is , for the most part , surround by her friends . That ’s how it should be . It allow us as viewer to appreciate everybody more and empathise their part in the account .
Rey Will Fear Palpatine
We know that Palpatine is back and who would n’t be scared of him , good ? Not only is he rather terrifying to await at — or at least he was during the original and prequel trilogies — but he ’s also extremely powerful , skilled with a lightsaber and devastating when he unleash his iconic Sith Lightning .
The final trailer for the movie does n’t show the villain ’s side , but Rey is sure scared . As he verbalize and appears to butt against closer to her , she back off , fill footstep away from the Sith Lord as he cackle with menace . We ca n’t facilitate but feel she may need some assistant when it add up to wiping out the big villain of the Skywalker saga once and for all .
