15 Most Paused Movie Moments Of 2019
11. Was That Darth's Helmet?! - Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Trailer
You hate to see spoilers in trailers, but it's an increasing part of movie marketing these days whether you care for it or not. It's also a trend that has inspired the use of double and triple bluff spoilers, which was something The Rise Of Skywalker's trailers did.
Leaning on the dynamic between Rey and Kylo Ren, the trailer showed us a shot of them seemingly teaming to destroy something together. Quite what it meant to the story at that stage was unclear, but if you paused it, you saw that the artifact was in fact Darth Vader's mangled helmet. The ramifications of that symbolism were absolutely massive and it became a huge talking point.
