The final trailer for Star Wars The Rise Of Skywalker

The final trailer for Star Wars The Rise Of Skywalker!

22/10/2019

Luke Skywalker: No one's ever really gone.
[Palpatine cackles]

I'm not crying... you're crying... SHUT UP!

Believe it or not I actually forgot about this trailer last night. So wrapped up in my Twitch stream of State of Decay 2 that it completely passed me by, it wasn't until 4 am when I went on Facebook before bed did I realise my mistake.

By then it was already trending all over social media, making the video easy to find. it took me a whole 2 seconds, so I clicked that first link and waited...

Is this how it's all going to end?

This final "sneak peak" for The Rise Of Skywalker was perfect, wheres the previous trailers baited us with brief glimpses and little teases, this one gave us a closer look, but still without actually giving anything away and has left my head spinning with so many questions:

Is Palpatine really still alive and how?
What is this mysterious Imperial Fleet and what's it for?
Can Kylo be redeemed and what will it take?
and too many more!

And that quick look at the rag tag fleet fills me with hope that there will be yet another epic space battle, some of my favourite moments from all of the Star Wars series are the battles of Endor (space) and Coruscant respectively, and if we get one more before the saga is over, I'll be a happy man.

I smell an epic space battle!

When it comes to the sequel trilogy, I'm a little weird, I'm enjoying it for the most part, but I wasn't overly impressed with JJ Abrams' The Force Awakens, I felt it was too similar to A New Hope. But Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi was a masterpiece in my eyes, close enough to the original films but different at the same time, that perfect mix.

When I found out Abrams was coming back to direct The Rise Of Skywalker I became apprehensive, after the first two trailers that feeling continued, but after this third and final look... my mind has been put at ease, I honestly believe this film will be amazing. I have so much faith in it, I've already bought my midnight screening tickets.
