‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’ Third Trailer Teases A Rey Vs. Palpatine Showdown

As promised, Monday brought two things: tickets went on sale for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker — aka Episode IX of the series’ main story branch — and the third full-length trailer for same. The biggest revelation? (Apart from a bit where we see C-3PO missing a chunk of the back of his head and a shot of our heroes riding…horses?) It’s that Emperor Palpatine — the closest the entire franchise can get to a main baddie — is definitely, probably back.

The eerie voice of English actor Ian McDiarmid, who took over the role in Return of the Jedi then returned for the prequels, haunts the latest ad, with Daisy Ridley’s Rey moving from fighting Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren to what looks like facing him down on his throne.

The trailer drop was a bittersweet affair: Monday was also the birthday of Carrie Fisher, the late longtime Leia Organa, who died after suffering cardiac arrest on a plane trip to Los Angeles in December of 2016. It’s unclear how much of Skywalker will contain Fisher, whose performance is reportedly being pieced together out of unused footage from The Last Jedi. Earlier in the day the official Star Wars Twitter account paid tribute to their departed Leia.

Star Wars: Rise of the Skywalker comes out on December 20.
