The Rise of Skywalker Trailers and Teasers

snufkin wrote:@DeeBee It's been mentioned outright in the Vanity Fair article that the ancient rift/conflict between the Sith and the Jedi are coming to a head, the Emperor's back, we have all sorts of leitmotifs pointing to Return of the Sith, they're hinting that Rey's plot will be on the Force and Jedi/Sith conflict side of the shop, and she's stolen the ancient original texts. Yet zero discussion anywhere about this topic, including that her being in possession of these books (which Daisy sort of hedged Colbert's question about whether or not Rey's been reading them) having a connection to whatever the Emperor's up to are zero. It's one of the things (along with Richard E. Grant and if they'll continue with how the syndicates have been in league with the Empire/FO) I'm insanely curious about yet there's zero discussion.

snufkin wrote:@SW_Heroine_Journey The thing is most of the "they predicted the movie!" comments about TLJ have been 100% about speculation which happened in places such as this forum and the podcasts which came out of it. That's a pretty good track record, why mess with success?

To your point, yes zero information or even curiosity about Richard E. Grant or how Rey stole the original written texts/records for the Jedi when the trailer and Vanity Fair article both point to the return of an ancient rift/conflict between the Jedi and the Sith. A lot of lore and world building is too dense for the movies but both details are likely going to be critical to the Force plot IMO.

snufkin wrote:@SW_Heroine_Journey Thanks to there being a good cross section of forum members Fall 2017 who were multilingual/from Asia and Latin America, we got the full details on the marketing for those two regions. Which yes, culturally they're far more direct/honest than North American marketing.

“Star Wars Kabuki will depict the love and loss felt by the Skywalker family over the past 40-plus years,” promises Ichikawa, who has himself become a symbol of single fatherhood in Japan as he raises two children (including an aspiring kabuki actor son) following the loss of his wife, newscaster Mao Kobayashi, to breast cancer at the age of 34. Ichikawa will be playing a character who’s part of the Skywalker bloodline, but when he takes the stage it won’t be as Luke or Darth Vader, but as deeply troubled third-generation Force-user Kylo Ren.

Officially being titled Star Wars Kabuki-Rennosuke Hikarigatana Sanbon (Star Wars Kabuki-Ren and Three Light Sabers), the play is scheduled to be a one-night-only performance, to be held on November 28 at a yet unannounced theater in Tokyo, just eight days before the opening of the kabuki adaptation of Hayao Miyazaki’s Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.

Though it'd be easy to guess given which ones are iconic. Dunno if either "@cowgirlsamurai" or "@shii405" have seen anything from Japanese language media with more specifics.

@snufkin

Forsythia wrote:The new trailer shows some nice parallels to TFA and TLJ with regard to Kylo and fear.

The Force Awakens:





Kylo hides behind a mask, he confesses his fears to Vader's burnt mask and he only unmasks in front of Rey. She reads his fears and he kills Han to prove that Ben Solo is gone and that he is a new Vader.


The Last Jedi:





Snoke confirms Kylo's fears that he is no Vader and calls him out for hiding behind a mask. Kylo destroys his mask and becomes Supreme Leader to prove him wrong.



The Rise of Skywalker:


Kylo hides behind his mask again, he also unsmasks in front of Rey again (no mask when they fight, in the Death Star Throne Room and when she leaves) and he faces Vader's burnt mask (together with Rey).


It seems to me like Luke is talking to Ben when he says "Confronting fear ... it's the destiny of a Jedi. Your destiny". Ben needs to confront his fears that he is no Vader, stop trying to be Kylo Ren and accept that he is Ben Solo. That's his destiny.
