Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (SPOILERS)

[McMetal]

Are those really red Stormtroopers or is it just the glare of his saber?

Zorii FTW!

From what I've read they really are red.  The helmets are different, too.  And these troopers may tie into a line of dialogue between Kylo Ren and Hux from TFA.

[P-Siddy]

I just read the update about it being real promotional material, so I guess it's real. 

Does Threepio become Rambo now?  I mean the Resistance only has a handful of members left after the Battle of Crait (there are others somewhere that didn't answer the call), so does he step up and become a real battle droid now or does Rey and Chewie walk into a fancy restaurant and have Threepio hold their coats, so to speak.

I didn't notice that the first time, but yeah, they've got a prequel feel to them... and could be a way for a certain Sequel character to make a reappearance (I recall someone (JJ?) saying someone might not really be dead).

Sorry to do another reply, but I figured I'd make a "spoiler" thread for those who might want to discuss this leak more... I almost said too much on this one and had to catch myself.

Traditionally this thread has always been spoilery so I updated the title.  Anyone trying to stay spoiler-free probably shouldn't be in here in the first place...

Has there been a lot of leaks?  I tend to stay away from spoilers so I have no clue what's out there.

Speaking of threads?  The poster, if it's legit, does lead to some significant toy speculation.  From a figure standpoint and a vehicle standpoint there was a lot of eye candy in that.... if it's the real thing.

[P-Siddy]

At first I was skeptical, but the SWNN posted this:

There seems to be many people disappointed with the poster. Quite frankly, at first we were too. But this is legit promotional art from the movie (not the theatrical poster). We've seen dozens like these (via Pyramid International) for all previous movies.

And Jeff and Jayson also told me this and I trust them.

The Rise of Skywalker

Return of Palpatine

Looks like the Death Star on the planet

[Nicklab]

That music kicks in at about 1:07 and it gets me.  EVERY TIME.

So much to take in there.  And plenty to speculate about.  Where do you even begin?

[P-Siddy]

I did some pausing here and there.

The medal from Yavin…
A creature rebuilding Kylo's mask
The Death Star on a planet (in an ocean)
Kylo killing someone with the cross blade.
A Special Forces TIE Interceptor that Rey flips onto.  (I'm guessing someone is friendly in that Interceptor or it would have fired on her).

Didn't see Rose or BB-8 in the trailer.

[McMetal]

Didn't wow me, but I was watching it with the sound off at work so will try again later.

Great to see Billy Dee though!

[Jeff]

The Death Star on a planet (in an ocean)

DS1 on Yavin IV or DS2 on Endor?

A Special Forces TIE Interceptor that Rey flips onto.

Isn't that Kylo's TIE Silencer?

And plenty to speculate about.  Where do you even begin?

 

Skywalker = Luke? Rey? Kylo? Vader?  Palpatine (as Anakin's dad)?

I know that Palps laugh is gonna tick off some people but I am 100% on board for this ride...

[P-Siddy]

A Special Forces TIE Interceptor that Rey flips onto.

Isn't that Kylo's TIE Silencer?

That's what I thought at first, but it's an Eyeball with red markings and has a gun turret below.
