[Video] ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’ Footage Gives Us a New Look at Rey

by Tori Ann
written by Tori Ann

D23 was the big convention in Calfornia this past weekend dedicated to all things Disney, and attendees were treated to a host of first looks for the company’s upcoming projects. Among them was a look at the next Star Wars movie – The Rise of Skywalker. The footage was not immediately made available to those not in attendance, but this morning Good Morning America shared it for the rest of us to enjoy.

The reel starts with footage from previous Star Wars movies, showing key moments from the original trilogy, the prequel trilogy, as well as The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. After that we get to the new footage, showing our heroes on the new desert planet coming across some kind of celebration and Leia on a jungle planet. A mind-boggling number of Star Destroyers assemble in some kind of formation and what could be the Resistance fleet drops out of hyperspace. We also see C-3PO with red eyes, Rey showing of her lightsaber skills, and Rey and Kylo dueling on top of what many are speculating are the ruins of the Death Star.

It ends with something that instantly sent shockwaves through the Star Wars fandom. Palpatine’s voice says “Your journey nears its end” and we see Rey cloaked in all-black wielding a double red lightsaber that she snaps out into place.

Obviously, this creates so many questions about the film. Will Rey truly turn to the Dark Side, or is this some sort of vision of dream? Will C-3PO also turn evil? What is Palpatine’s role in all of this?

To get the answers, fans will simply have to show up in theaters once The Rise of Skywalker debuts beginning December 20.

by Jason Bennett
written by Jason Bennett

The great bringer of wrath has come, and with him shall rise four beasts.. 20th Century Fox has released new teaser promos featuring two new cast members of X-Men: Apocalypse. The latest in their “Power Piece” video clips gives us a look at Storm (Alexandra Shipp) and Angel (Ben Hardy). These added with previously released Psylocke (Olivia Munn), nearly complete Apocalypse’s Horseman, as we are awaiting the promo on Magneto (Michael Fassbender). Here’s a video look at what we have seen so far as to The Four Horseman of Apocalypse…

Meet Storm. Young. Strong. A force of nature. This new featurette is on Ororo Munroe/Storm portrayed in this iteration by Alexandra Shipp. With the ability to harness and control the weather, the mutant goddess can already be a threat against any opponent. Add the tutelage of Apocalypse and watch out!

Meet Angel. The winged warrior. Angel of Death. Ben Hardy stars as Warren Worthington III, a founding member of The X-Men in the comic books. In this film, the flying mutant aligns himself with Apocalypse to become one of his Horseman the Archangel known as Death.

Meet Psylocke. Fierce. Fatal. Fearless. The third of the Four Horsemen will be Psylocke, the psychic knife-wielding, telekinetic, martial artist. Born Elizabeth “Betsy” Braddock, Psylocke is the twin sister of Brian “Captain Britain” Braddock, essentially Britain’s Captain America. No word as to whether or not Captain Britain will make an appearance in this film.

And if you haven’t seen it yet, here is the final trailer 20th Century Fox is releasing before the film debuts later this month.

X-Men: Apocalypse hits theaters May 27th.
