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

11. The Death Star Duel

The next exotic locale the trailer whisks us away to is the crashed remains of the second Death Star, located either in a watery area of Endor's forest moon or on the actual planet itself. It certainly looks choppy, as we see Rey use some sort of speeder/skif to get to the main hull of the station, and it's also the site of one of the most compelling visuals Rise of Skywalker has shared thus far - the duel between Kylo and Rey.

The shot of Ren emerging through the mist is particularly delicious, and it raises several questions. What are both of them looking for at the site of the Death Star? A weapon? Some sort of residual Force energy? It's unclear, but they're clearly unwilling to compromise, as is evidenced by the fact they start to duel.

Raising the stakes even more is the fact that Finn rushes onto the wreckage later on in the trailer, clearly shouting for Rey.

Either way, it's clear the Death Star has a huge part to play in the climax.
