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

8. A Star Destroyer Rises

If there's one thing this trailer telegraphs, it's that the past will have a heavy part to play in The Rise of Skywalker. The Emperor has seemingly returned, and this shot of an old Imperial Star Destroyer rising from the ice seems to intimate that the old Empire may have a part to play.

We still don't know where the Knights of Ren have disappeared to, but recent chatter has indicated that they may be more autonomous than their name suggests. Could it be that they've been playing the Emperor's long game all along, and that the return of the old fleet has a part to play?

It's a wild theory to suggest, but given the trailer shows the Resistance principally clashing with the old Imperial fleet rather than the First Order's, but could it be possible that the First Order suffers a challenge from another angle? One they didn't expect?

It makes for a brilliant visual, and the return of those old Imperial Star Destroyers will no doubt play a major part in the story.
