A brand new trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker premiered at the Disney D23 expo this weekend. The trailer mainly consists of footage from previous Star Wars films hyping up The Rise of Skywalker as an epic conclusion to the current trilogy. There isn’t much new footage from the highly anticipated film, but a shocking revelation at the end of the trailer shows Rey in a hooded cloak with a red lightsaber. Could she be turning to the dark side? I think the clip may be some kind of dramatic trick to get everyone to see the movie. Maybe she’s a clone or imaginary. Surely, she can’t be turning evil, right? We’ll all find out on December 20th. Watch the trailer here!
