The new footage from TheRiseOfSkywalker has raised some eyebrows. Watch it here:
on Saturday received a standing ovation as they took the stage at D23 in Anaheim. Filmmaker J.J. Abrams said the team was hard at work on a new trailer, but weren't quite ready, so they showed off a sizzle reel.
The footage included a fleet of dozens of Star Destroyers in the atmosphere of a planet. Rey and Kylo Ren appeared in a later scene, fighting on a downed ship in the middle of the ocean as waves crashed around them. The biggest crowd-pleasing shot occurred at the end of the reel, with Rey wearing a dark hood, sporting a double lightsaber. The footage was released online Monday morning. .
Oscar Isaac, who plays Poe, pretended to comfort his co-star John Boyega. “We were young. Everyone was experimenting," said Isaac to Boyega, who pretended to be upset. Abrams also spoke about the late Carrie Fisher, who will appear as Leia one last time via unused footage he shot while directing 2015's, and after her death he noted Fisher had thanked him in her 2016 book for putting up with her "twice" as director. Abrams noted it must have been an intentional joke, as they had only worked together once.
"it was a classic Carrie thing to write something like that, that could only mean one thing for me. We could not be more excited for you to see her final performance as Leia," said Abrams.The cast also includes Daisy Ridley, Lupita Nyong’o and Domhnall Gleeson, along with franchise newcomers Richard E. Grant. OriginalRise of Skywalkerand is billed as the conclusion to the nine-picture Skywalker Saga that began with 1977's.
