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

14. The Skywalker Saber

Star Wars 9 Trailer 2
Lucasfilm

In The Last Jedi, the Skywalker lightsaber was destroyed when caught between the opposing forces of Rey and Kylo Ren.

In Episode IX, the Skywalker lightsaber is somehow back. Daisy Ridley revealed during the panel that it "lives", and here we see her igniting it. Quite how it was repaired is unclear, but that may well be a question for another time. People can make their own lightsabers, so it's not beyond reason one could be fixed too, and it means that the lightsaber is fully hers now.

It's also nice to see that, alongside the saber, Rey still has the blaster Han gave her as well, ensuring both her mentors are by her side.
