That goes along with what a few other leaks and rumors have speculated. That Kylo Ren will be unable to properly govern the First Order by himself and will end up eventually turning to Rey for help. One rumor is that the Knights of Ren will seriously injure him.

My most hyped film for this year! So glad to see Lando and Leia again and that cackling at the end gave me chills with Palpatine's surprise return.

^really dude? Its just footage cut from the force awakens, I don't see anything wrong with that, as long as it feels like it fits.

Anyway, Lando looks surprisingly young in this trailer. I saw him in footage from conventions around the time solo released and he was looking pretty frail. I wouldn't doubt they used cg to achieve some of this. After seeing what they were able to do with Sam Jackson in captain marvel. The tech is there now to do it super convincingly.

In fact, during the panel, J.J. Abrams stated that the story of Rise of Skywalker has been specially written in such a way that the deleted Force Awakens footage was usable. Hopefully, it will be sufficient.

The Art of book cover revealed.

It's already been said that the film will end with a climactic duel between Rey and Ren. Some spoilers have said that the fight will take place in a Zero-G environment to render it more impactful since this is the end of the saga. That environment might be underwater. Another thing I heard was that because of the unique force bond between Rey and Ren, they'll actually be fighting each other from across different worlds, referred to as flash fighting.

It definitely looks like Rey, Finn, and Poe will confront Kylo Ren on the desert planet as was rumored before.

More description of #RiseOfSkywalker footage: C-3PO with red eyes. Finn and Naomi Ackie's character together in a cockpit. A massive fleet of Star Destroyers, and J.J. Abrams gives a touching anecdote about Carrie Fisher: https://ew.com/movies/2019/08/24/star-w ... 23-poster/ #D23Expo

@AdamDriverUK
The sizzle reel shown at the #D23Expo will be released on Monday! #TheRiseOfSkywalker
*edit*
I've seen a few people theorizing this now:
@blaze6106
I think the big star wars spoiler from #D23 is a red herring. It's like a dream or a force illusion or something. I guess we shall see though. #EpisodeIX
*edit*
@GirlswSabers
You guys!! That sizzle reel scene of Dark Rey...what if it is all a part of BEN'S cave moment. Confronting his worst fear....Rey going dark? Her eyes were described as unmoving....OMFG!!!#girlswithsabers #starwars #TheRiseofSkywalker #D23 #TROSD23
*edit*
@ranspaugh88
So @GMA is like for real is asking EVERYONE about Rey and Kylo’s relationship and y’all don’t think Mickey is prepping us for something. #reylo #haha #d23

I love the new poster and I can't wait to see the footage released Monday of dark side Rey being beckoned by Palpatine.

D23 footage released with Dark Rey amongst other surprises.

If it wasn't obvious enough, Palpatine will have a big role in the film and not just be a few seconds cameo, as confirmed by Daisy Ridley and John Boyega respectively.
"He's the biggest baddie in Star Wars history. Now that we've done the story, I'm like, it couldn't have happened any other way. It had to be that. But he's very instrumental to the plot of the film. It's not just like he appears again; it's all explained."
"I think the Emperor and his doctrine has trickled down to so many of the characters in the Star Wars universe... The Dark Side, it is what it is because of a lot of his actions and plans. To have him come back, he's like the greatest foe, the greatest enemy. I mean, we might as well take him down properly."

Thank you for posting!!! It looks good, even just from that little bit! I'm guessing that Rey at the end is a vision/dream...or maybe that was supposed to be her fate based on her lineage...

You're welcome!
Some have speculated it's a vision that Rey receives sorta like how Luke confronts Vader in the cave at Dagobah. Or it may be Kylo who gets the vision that Rey will join him. Others have speculated that maybe Palpatine possesses Rey or briefly turns her to the dark side (forcing Kylo to turn light to save her). What's even more exciting are theories that this could be a secret Rey twin/clone that has been Sith all along and hidden in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy alongside Palpatine's secret army.

What about the theory that Rey is Palpatine's daughter?

Yes, some people think that this is how Palpatine turns her because of her relation to him. She might not even be a biological daughter but some sort of genetic experiment or his creation through the Force (as some people speculated that he created Anakin that way. That actually was the original plan in Revenge of the Sith btw, where Palpatine would reveal he is Anakin's father).

Some of the Star Wars books like the Aftermath series revealed that Palpatine had some sort of observatory or lab on Jakku, Rey's home planet. So maybe Rey was created there although some new books about Rey claim that she was born elsewhere and dumped on Jakku by her parents so maybe that theory doesn't work anymore.

Personally, I'm really fond of the theory that Rey is a Palpatine because it's a nice inversion of Kylo, who came from light but turned dark. With Rey, her sire would be the most evil being in the galaxy yet she somehow still triumphs.
