10 AMAZING Trailers That Sold Bad Movies
6. Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker
In a trailer so full of teasers and fan service it was always going to be hard to live up to the hype surrounding the final in this Star Wars trilogy.
The Rise of Skywalker final trailer still gives me chills, even having seen the actual film. The return of Palpatine is a move nobody could have predicted paired with scenes of the late Carrie Fisher to tug on heart strings. This trailer is a masterclass in how to awaken nostalgia and excitement in even the most stubborn of fans.
Unfortunately the best laid plans don't always work out. The film wasn't terrible by any means but it was no where near the expectations that were set leaving many fans with a bitter taste in their mouth. Rewatching the trailer might briefly make you forget how disappointed you were in the film - its that good.
