Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Final Trailer Breakdown - 14 Things Fans Need To See

2. Rey And Kylo Destroy... Something?!

Even though they parted ways in The Last Jedi, it seems as though Episode IX still has plans to use Rey and Kylo as reluctant allies in at least one sequence. Here, on what looks to be an old Rebel vessel (possibly the Blockade Runner from before?), the duo can be seen breaking apart an old black artefact.

The trailer doesn't really stop long enough for audiences to discern what the object is they're breaking, but Rey does appear to be holding a dagger in one hand as her and Ren swing towards the plinth.

Is this a fragile alliance? The Emperor's narration seems to suggest as much, but how do they both work in his overall plan? The answers, while not immediately forthcoming, are thrilling to contemplate.
