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

14. Exit, Pursued By Blaster Fire

Star Wars Rise of Skywalker Ret
Lucasfilm

The final Rise of Skywalker trailer kicked off with a fast tempo, showing Rey evading blaster fire as she navigates one of the planets still yet to be named ahead of Episode IX's release.

It was previously speculated that this could either be the Forest Moon of Endor or Yavin IV, and the trailer doesn't really lend enough weight to confirm either theory. Still, we can see that Rey drops what appears to be a pilot helmet with the blast shield down, and it also looks like she's holding some sort of red artefact while she's traversing a perilous drop.

It's impossible to tell what the artefact could be, but this specific planet does feature quite heavily throughout Rise of Skywalker's trailer. Finn, Poe and Chewie are also there, and an old Rebel Blockade Runner even rises through the brush a few minutes in. Could this be an old Rebel base? If so, then it's possible this may be Yavin IV after all.

We never see the gas giant nearby to confirm, but we can at least surmise that a Rebel presence was maintained on whatever locale this may be.
