Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Sizzle Reel Drops Monday
New footage from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was shown to fans at the D23 Expo today in Anaheim, California. Fans in attendance were also given this cool free Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker promotional poster upon exit!
The new footage was attached to the end of a sizzle reel and per Entertainment Weekly will be made available on Monday!
The behind-the-scenes sizzle reel is expected to be released online Monday and represents the first footage of the J.J. Abrams film since the teaser trailer was released in April.
Images include a dual between Rey and Kylo Ren amid a stormy sea (transposed into a space backdrop on the poster). There’s a massive fleet of Star Destroyers. There’s a new shot of Darth Vader’s helmet. There’s Finn (John Boyega) and a new character named Jannah (Naomi Ackie) together in a cockpit. C-3PO with red eyes. A new glimpse of Leia (the late Carrie Fisher). A gang of heroes approaching a bustling desert city. But the shot that truly stunned the crowd was a scene with Rey in a hooded black robe revealing an unfolding red double-sided lightsaber (Darth Rey?!).
