Star Wars Episode 9 Trailer Breakdown: 16 Things You Need To See

16. Breathe. Just Breathe

Star Wars 9 Trailer 1
Lucasfilm

The trailer opens with the galaxy's newest hero, Rey. Or rather, her breathing, as she trains on a desert planet.

We know that Episode IX filmed for a few weeks in Jordan, which is likely where this takes place, and while the trailer doesn't definitively answer which desert planet it is, the most likely answer right now is that Rey has gone back to Jakku. It certainly looks a lot like the junkyard, and it'd make the most thematic sense of this trilogy, if not the Skywalker Saga as a whole.
