A brand new image from Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker unites the sequel trilogy heroes and C-3PO.
In Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker, we’ll finally see the heroes from the sequel trilogy come together to make their stand on The First Order. Since the sequel trilogy began, our heroes have been scattered, going on their own personal self-fulfillment missions. This narrative decision was criticized in The Last Jedi, as fans were disappointed to see Rey only reunite with Finn briefly at the end.
In Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker, director J.J. Abrams seeks to remedy this criticism by having the sequel trilogy heroes united from the get-go. In all the marketing we’ve seen from The Rise Of Skywalker, our heroes have been together, effortlessly working together through various battles and set pieces. Now, a brand new image from Empire magazine gives us a solid look at all three heroes (and C-3PO casually hanging in the background) in Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker.
One can’t help but wonder who our heroes are fending off against in this brand new image. This scene seems to take place around the same time C-3PO makes his dramatic speech in the trailer. The Rise of Skywalker, which features the return of the Emperor, is said to be the final film in the Skywalker saga.
