The first teaser for Star Wars: Episode IX — officially dubbed Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker — has arrived, and though brief, it reveals a lot about what we can expect from the final installment of the recent trilogy, including the “new” villain.
The footage begins with Rey (Daisy Ridley) alone in the desert as a voice-over from the late Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) informs her that hundreds of generations live within her, and even though many of the Skywalkers are gone, they’ll “always be with” her. We can’t be sure exactly when he tells her this in the actual film, but it makes for a highly emotional moment as Rey does an epic flip into a First Order ship, lightsaber in hand. Clearly Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) is still leading the charge against Rey despite their connection in The Last Jedi, but the last few seconds of the teaser also confirm who will be the film’s Big Bad with one seriously ominous laugh: Palpatine.
