Words by Hannah Strong

Rey, Finn and Poe are back in action for the final install­ment in the Star Wars Sky­walk­er trilogy.

After a long wait punc­tu­at­ed by one lack­lus­ter pre­quel, we’re in the home stretch now before the final instal­la­tion in the new Star Wars tril­o­gy final­ly hits our screens. It’s been a long 16 months since we saw Luke Sky­walk­er return and Rey team up – albeit briefly – with Kylo Ren, but at the annu­al Star Wars Cel­e­bra­tion in Chica­go, a teas­er trail­er final­ly sur­faced for the much-await­ed Star Wars: Episode IX – the title of which has been revealed as The Rise of Skywalker’.

With JJ Abrams back in the director’s chair, the film reunites core new cast mem­bers Daisy Rid­ley, John Boye­ga, Adam Dri­ver, Oscar Isaac and Kel­ly Marie Tran – but fans are also excit­ed that Bil­ly Dee Williams is repris­ing his role as Lan­do Cal­riss­ian. The film will also fea­ture a posthu­mous appear­ance from Car­rie Fish­er, who passed away in Decem­ber 2016. JJ Abrams wrote scenes around footage filmed for The Force Awak­ens in order to give Princess Leia the send-off she deserves, so it’s sure to be an emo­tion­al ride.

The first teas­er gives us a glimpse at Rey train­ing, Kylo Ren doing bat­tle with a stormtroop­er, Finn with a swish new hair­cut, and Poe Dameron with a rather fetch­ing scarf. There’s our first glimpse of Lan­do, and a cryp­tic voiceover from Luke Sky­walk­er him­self, remind­ing us No one’s ever real­ly gone” …But what’s that sin­is­ter laugh­ter all about? Sure­ly not Pal­pa­tine

Star Wars: The Rise of Sky­walk­er hits cin­e­mas in Decem­ber, so expect plen­ty of the­o­ries, freak­outs, and more teas­ing to come. It’s going to be a long eight months.
