UPDATED – Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Amps Up The Marketing
Check Out the Full-size Footage of Today’s Teaser!
Late this afternoon, Lucasfilm released the full-width version of today’s unexpected teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
New Episode IX footage, photos released….
For much of the last few weeks, the attention of Star Wars fans was focused on The Mandalorian (and, most recently, The Child). But today it’s all about Rey; or, more accurately, Rey, Kylo Ren, and the rest of the protagonists of the Sequel Trilogy.
In a concerted effort, Entertainment Weekly and the official Star Wars sites are reminding folks that there’s only a month left to go.

A New Look At Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
So I guess that final trailer wasn’t quite final after all.
Disney unveiled new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker footage on Instagram that includes a shot of Rey confronting Darth Vader’s mask, leaping out of a ship’s hangar, a closer look at those Stormtrooper desert bikes, and more.
The footage comes as EW reveals its cover story going behind the scenes of The Rise of Skywalker. “The [trailers] that have come out are scratching the surface of what the movie is,” director J.J. Abrams tells us. “The ambition of this movie is far greater than Force Awakens. What we set out to do was far more challenging. Everything is exponentially larger on this.”
And that includes the marketing!
