Well, this is embarrassing. Even for an in-the-trenches pop culture reporter like yours truly, there’s a glut of content out there to experience, and it’s impossible to keep a track of it all. And I guess somewhere in the constant stream of stuff, some movie calledStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalkerwas announced, and is coming to theatres very soon. We’ve got a bunch of new images from the film, which I’m guessing will be the first time you’re seeing anything from the film, which I can only assume is some festival darling low-budget indie.
Here’s a general summary of what these images tease: DirectorJ. J. Abramschatting with his cast and staring at a big ol' alien;Daisy Ridleystaring steely into the future;John Boyegastaring steely into the future;Kelly Marie Transtaring steely at Ridley;Anthony Danielsstaring steely at everybody;Billy Dee Williamsstaring charmingly at all of us; andKeri Russelllooking like a straight-up Power Ranger. Does any of this track? Again, I’m making wild guesses in the dark, as this is the first I’m hearing ofRise of the Starwalker– what’s that? “Skywalker”? You’re sure? Okay!
IfStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalkerat all interests you, check out the new images below, and verify to see the film when it arrives in theatres December 20. For more onSkywalker– we’ve covered it before?! – here’sAbrams' comments onRian Johnson’sThe Last Jedi, the cast delving into the cute world ofBaby Yoda, and Ridley confirming that one expert sleuth hasguessed the ending.
