It's nice he emphasizes the continuity from TLJ in every interview now. Though he indicates Luke was darker than he's envisioned. I've always had the suspicion that grouchy, jaded hermit Luke who gave up was in TFA and the earlier concept art, and Rian dialed it up to 11 and added the lightsaber-in-the-tent part. Yet JJ, the actual OG SW fan, accepts this much more readily than popular discourse would have one believe. And clearly respects GL more than anymore, which should be a comfort to those fearing they'll dump his vision out the window entirely.
And the bit at the end about how Rey being even more prenaturally gifted with the force than Luke not being an accident... interesting.
And he's half-forgotten about the whole mystery box thing. But like lens flares, it's probably going to follow him around for the rest of life, even if he stops.

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker – Sequel Trilogy Heroes Reunited In Exclusive Image
By necessity, Star Wars: The Last Jedi scattered our new generation of heroes across the galaxy far, far away on their own journeys and missions. Rey went to Ahch-To in search of Luke Skywalker, Finn joined Rose in a quest to find a master codebreaker, and Poe Dameron stayed with the Resistance, jostling for control. But for Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker, the gang is reunited – the central trio of new heroes, who first adventured in The Force Awakens, facing the threat of the First Order (and whatever’s going on with the Emperor) together. As seen in Empire’s upcoming biggest ever Star Wars issue, here’s a brand new image from Episode IX – showing Finn, Rey, C-3PO and Poe all ready for action.
Inside the mag, on sale from Thursday 28 November, you’ll find brand new images and insights from Episode IX, and all-new interviews with Sequel Trilogy stars Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, and Kelly Marie Tran, the legendary Anthony Daniels and Billy Dee Williams, franchise newcomers Naomi Ackie and Keri Russell, and writer-director J.J. Abrams and co-writer Chris Terrio. Plus, the issue also comes with a bonus Skywalker Saga magazine – the ultimate celebration of the nine-film epic, with fresh interviews, features, archival material, and more – and a Dark Rey art card, illustrated exclusively for Empire by Rory Kurtz.

"But for Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker, the gang is reunited". I ask myself when was the gang united in TFA. lol

I put this "the trio united again!" silliness down to Empire itself, this isn't LF pushing it, or the actors, or the writers, or that many other publicaitons or outlets. It just sounds cool I guess?

Cinema (German Magazine), December Issue:
First page translated:
Finally; will Rey and Finn become a couple? There have always flown some sparks between these two…
John: "You think? I've always thought their relationship was more platonically. Maybe it‘s because I myself have good female friends I want nothing from. When you meet under extreme circumstances like Rey and Finn, it binds you together. They hang onto each other. But romance? I‘d say Finn has an eye on someone else; same goes for Rey. I stand with it: Those two are just good friends.”
You're not allowed to give away anything. But is there a message puts across?
Daisy: "Rey doesn’t give up Kylo Ren. She firmly believes, that he can be converted. This is a beautiful message: To see the good in people, even when they do bad things· And this this movie everyone counts. Nobody can achieve anything on their own, only together - as a team. Hopefully this feeling of solidarity will be transmitted to the audience."

J.J. Abrams On ‘The Rise Of Skywalker’ And The Return Of Palpatine (And, Yes, Maclunkey)
As you’ve probably heard, J.J. Abrams has returned to direct the ninth and (we are told) final installment in the Star Wars Skywalker saga, The Rise of Skywalker. What’s interesting is that Abrams — known for his secrecy about not just plot points but also for what characters are even in the movie — has let his guard down a bit this time. We already know that Emperor Palpatine returns in this installment, a reveal the Abrams of old would have held closely guarded. Actually, just the fact I sat down across from Abrams (something I’ve, at least, never experienced before) to discuss the movie feels like he’s putting himself out there a little more this time. And, yes, ahead he explains why.
So, yes, we met with Abrams on Monday morning at his hotel in Midtown Manhattan to discuss The Rise of Skywalker. He explains when the idea came about to bring Palpatine back — if this went back to his time on The Force Awakens or if this came about after the death of Snoke in The Last Jedi — and he discusses if we will get any answers on who Snoke even was before he surprisingly perished. He also talks about why C-3PO serves such a big role this time around — something we haven’t really seen since Return of the Jedi.
And, finally, we couldn’t resist bringing up Maclunkey, the weird new word all Star Wars fans have now learned after Greedo shouts that word at Han Solo in yet another version of the original Star Wars.

And, finally, we couldn’t resist bringing up Maclunkey, the weird new word all Star Wars fans have now learned after Greedo shouts that word at Han Solo in yet another version of the original Star Wars.
- Keep reading:
- I know you are known for being secretive about plot points, so I wanted to start by asking what happens to all the main characters at the end of the movie?
Well … I’m happy to tell you.
Oh great.
But once you see it, hopefully your question will be answered.
When did you decide to bring Palpatine back? Was this discussed during The Force Awakens? Or was this more because Snoke is gone?
Well, when you look at this as nine chapters of a story, perhaps the weirder thing would be if Palpatine didn’t return. You just look at what he talks about, who he is, how important he is, what the story is — strangely, his absence entirely from the third trilogy would be conspicuous. It would be very weird. That’s not to say there was a bible and we knew what happens at every step. But when Larry Kasdan and I worked on The Force Awakens, we didn’t do it in a vacuum. We very purposely looked at what came before. We chose to tell a story that touches upon specific things and themes and ideas that we’ve seen before, to begin a new story. But we examined all that came before to ask where does this feel like it’s going?
So there were discussions about that at the time. Yet, like any beginning, you want to put the threads in, but you don’t want to necessarily be literal about everything. And then when Rian was brought on to do The Last Jedi, we met and we talked about things and he wrote his story. And when I read it the script, I realized this didn’t get in the way of anything Larry and I talked about that I thought I’d get to. There were some very specific things we did get to do in this movie that we were laughing and going, “Oh my god, we’re finally doing that thing we talked about five years ago.”
In the book that showed the art of The Force Awakens we see a drawing of Rey swimming to the ruins of the Death Star. Which is something we will kind of see coming up in this movie now.
There are things from that book that we came close to finally doing for sure. But the specifics of Palpatine? I wasn’t supposed to do this movie. So I had a couple of years off. So when Kathleen Kennedy called and I got back on that train, I started asking where does this go? So, suddenly, we were there having to do it. The rubber was hitting the road. So, we went back to the threads that were exciting to us and then we found new ones.
By the end of this movie will we have a better sense of who Snoke was? Or is that another story for another time?
I will say, without giving anything away, knowing this movie is an ending is, for me infinitely more challenging than a beginning. We knew we needed to provide answers. And while there may be some things that aren’t entirely demystified by the end of it, we wanted to make sure people left feeling that they were satisfied. So I hope, on a number of issues, people will leave and feel like that it’s a true ending and not an advertising ploy. We really are bringing it to an end.
When I was a little kid, George Lucas told us C-3PO and R2-D2 would take us through all six, nine, or twelve movies — depending on when he did the interview — but that hasn’t really been the case. But now it appears Threepio has a huge role in The Rise of Skywalker?
He’s very center to this story and truly wonderful in it. Anthony (Daniels) gets to do some things…
He had to be excited when he found out, right?
He was. And there were times he was, you know, bemoaning having to do something…
Anthony Daniels bemoaning?
[Laughs] I was like, listen man, you wanted this! But he’s wonderful in this. I don’t think he’s ever been better.
Why was it so difficult to make them integral before? Even in the Prequels, and the last two movies?
Obviously, you do the best you can. You focus on what the story is and you respond to what your gut is telling you is working. And what the story seems to want. You know, I don’t know how strategic one can be working on something like that, thinking about how little or how much certain characters are used. Which is to say, you want to use them to serve the story. It turned out, we didn’t strategize this is the one Threepio has to be in more scenes than he’s ever been in. It just turned out that the story was best served using a character that has been underused to see a new side of him and tell the story. So it was very much a utility, but it felt inspired that you got to see a character in a whole new light.
I’ve noticed you seem to have a desire to put iconic spaceships in strange situations. In Star Trek Into Darkness the Enterprise is underwater…
Yes.
In The Force Awakens, we see the Millennium Falcon dog-fighting over Jakku…
Yep.
Now we see a Star Destroyer coming out of an ocean.
You know, I’m not thinking about it in that way, but I do feel like when you look at the Falcon or the Destroyer. There are ships that you’ve seen in all sorts of situations. And usually in space, or either leaving a planet or landing on a planet or an asteroid. The idea of having the Falcon bursting through trees, or barely taking off from Jakuu, those felt like fun ways of using it. When we were doing Star Trek Into Darkness, that was really about, we just really wanted to give the Enterprise a kind of reveal in the movie. In this case, and you’ll see how the Destroyers come into play, this was partly we don’t just want to see the Destroyers. We don’t want too just cut to a shot of this ship or this fleet. Part of it is wanting to give people something they haven’t seen before, and yet still have it be the vernacular Star Wars.
I know I started this out with my little dumb joke about your secrecy. And I’ve seen the “mystery box” brought up in recent interviews, which you’ve been asked about for years now. But I feel this time around you’re being a little less close to the vest about a lot of stuff?
Well, yeah. Here’s the thing. People who are aware of the “mystery box” thing ask about it. And I think people have different senses about what it is, as I do. For me, it’s not anything I ever think about. It’s not something I apply to my work. It’s simply a deconstruction that any good story makes you want to know what comes next. Usually it does that by implying something.
But why on this one are you being at least a little less secretive?
None of that is strategic. But I do feel about this movie, because it is the end of something everyone knows — I don’t want to be coy. I feel very confident about what the movie is. And I feel like we’ve found a way to do something that doesn’t need — and I don’t feel the need — to do smoke and mirrors at all on this. I feel we have a story that’s pretty huge in scope. While I don’t want to tell the whole movie to people and ruin it and I don’t want to spoil things, I feel like we need to be able to have a conversation about how, yes, Carrie Fisher appears in this movie. And I’m happy to talk about how we did it, in so much as, people know, it’s really her. We didn’t do a digital Carrie. Yes, Palpatine is in this movie. I don’t want to talk about what that is and how. SO I’m not unguarded, because I want to make sure people enjoy the experience when they go. But I feel, about this movie, a little more open, I guess, than I have before.
So, will any character say, “Maclunkey,” in this movie?
[Laughing] Go see the movie!
Rey’s name is Rey Maclunkey, isn’t it? That’s the secret.
Hey, you never know!

lol, what? When did they see sparks fly between Rey and Finn? And how can anyone asks this question after TLJ?
But I love John's answer, completely debunking any possibility for romantic Finnrey.Wonder who that could beJohn: "You think? I've always thought their relationship was more platonically. [...] I‘d say Finn has an eye on someone else; same goes for Rey.

Between JJ indicating Palpatine was, bare minimum, an idea they had at the beginning, plus what KK and GL said they'd always wanted to do with Palpatine, I find it very hard to believe that Trevorrow was entirely unaware that was an option, or the general idea. And again with JJ easing up on the whole mystery box thing. I find it very interesting he's being really vague about Snoke and if there's more information about him here.

I thought it was interesting how JJ said that Rian's script "didn't get in the way" of what he and Kasdan talked about when making TFA. That doesn't sound at all like Palpatine's return was something that Rian had in mind when writing TLJ, so when Trevorrow picked up the baton I'd say there was really no reason for him to think that Palpatine's return was some sort of general direction, either.

I really suspect that both Rian and Colin had Hux in mind for the big bad of IX (technology vs. magic essentially); I had the same thing in mind, lol.

I think that, for all that killing Snoke was a bold ballsy move, it left them in a pickle for the next episode, with no force-sensitive Big Bad around. I still think that they could have solved it - I honestly didn't mind that original leak about Rey and Kylo fighting the possessed Matt Smith. It still had the Emperor returning, but the story could still have been primarily about the conspiracy to bring the Emperor back, which IMO is a lot more interesting.

I thought that too, but I always believed Hux would make a weak big bad, since he wasn't a force sensitive.

I still don't fully understand what went down with the whole Matt Smith thing. I'd be down if he really is possessed because Palpatine wants to be reembodied. And they're being way more secretive about Hux/Pryde than before. It makes me wonder why.

Kylo won't keep on his shirt and is kind of a flirt! This is iconic. It's nice to see everyone having so much fun on this press run.
Also, there was a quote I think from the Empire articles where JJ said he hopes people argue about his movie. This is such a long way from the early days of "it's satisfying!" That turned into "well, we know we can't please everyone" and now we have the final incarnation, basically JJ going "Come at me, bro!" I dig that attitude.

Star Wars: JJ Abrams Says Rian Johnson’s Last Jedi Choices Were ‘Weirdly Beneficial’ For The Rise Of Skywalker
After picking up the reins from J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens, Rian Johnson made some bold choices for Episode VIII – The Last Jedi. He sliced Supreme Leader Snoke in two, had Rey discover (for now) that her parents were mere “filthy junk traders”, and had Luke Skywalker become one with the Force by the closing credits – moves that proved thrilling, fascinating and earned to some viewers, and not so popular with others. In taking over again for Episode IX – The Rise Of Skywalker, Abrams found Johnson’s surprising decisions to be a positive force in shaping the end of the Sequel Trilogy
“Even some of the things that happened in Episode VIII that at the time I thought, ‘Oh, that’s an interesting choice I would not have made,’ weirdly ended up being beneficial for this film,” he tells Empire in the upcoming Star Wars issue. “I feel like we’re doing the best we can to sort of excavate what is inevitable. Some of the things I like the most wouldn’t have happened if I had to make all those decisions back when we were doing VII. Certain things that happened in Rian’s film, and certainly all the films that preceded VII, were all inspiration for the cocktail that became Rise Of Skywalker.”

@Atenais I think you guys are right - Rian and Colin probably did have Hux in mind as the big bad of IX in mind .That glare that Hux gives Kylo at the end of TLJ alone points to this. But I agree he would've made an weak villain due to how comedic he was portrayed in TLJ. Every character he interacts with makes him look incompetent so I don't think most ppl would buy it if he suddenly became a criminal mastermind able to usurp Kylo on his own. This is why Pryde was created I'm guessing.

And again with JJ easing up on the whole mystery box thing. I find it very interesting he's being really vague about Snoke and if there's more information about him here.
I always thought from the beginning that Palpatine/Darth Sidious, Darth Plagueis and Snoke were all related in one way or another. It's just unclear how but I definitely agree with J.J. that it would have been weird not to bring him back or find a way to say that the real Big Bad was behind Palpatine and Snoke and closely related to them. I remember that the first questions that came into my mind when that third trilogy came into picture were : why making 3 more movies centered around the Skywalker family if Anakin already brought Balance to the Force and the Sith got definitely defeated? How are they going to make a compelling story arc while not endangering the fundations of the saga?
