Your Skywalker Saga journey nears its end.
Disney has released the special look footage of the upcoming film Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, which debuted this past weekend at the Disney D23 Expo in Anaheim, California.
After some brief highlight clips from the original Star Wars trilogy, the prequel trilogy and The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, the new footage begins around the 1:12 mark.
We see Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega), Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), C-3PO (Anthony Daniels), and Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo) come across a crowded alien village, followed by a quick glimpse of General Leia Organa (the late Carrie Fisher).
Next, we glimpse a group of remaining Rebel fighters and a large fleet of Star Destroyers above a planet having a thunderstorm. Finn and new Resistance ally character Jannah (Naomi Ackie) stare at them from inside a ship.
C-3PO raises up, now sporting red eyes, which is followed by something offscreen firing a destructive energy weapon at a planet below.
In a forest, Rey seems upset about something and hurls her lightsaber, which spins around and cuts a nearby tree in half before it returns to her hand.
As we see Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) leaving his TIE silencer on Planet Thunderstorm and activating his lightsaber, we hear the voice of Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) begin saying "Your journey..."
We cut to Kylo Ren and Rey having another lightsaber fight (their last?) aboard some sort of freighter in the middle of a raging ocean, while Palpatine finishes saying, "...nears its end."
Finally, we hear of familiar breathing of Darth Vader and see Rey in a black hooded cloak and costume, looking very much like a Sith Lord. She holds a two-pronged lightsaber with red energy blades, which she snaps into a dual-edged lightsaber similar to Darth Maul's from Star Wars Episode I - The Phantom Menace.
Has Rey succumbed to the Dark Side? Is Palpatine's spirit possessing her body? Or is this just some vision of what might happen if Rey isn't careful?

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is scheduled to arrive in theaters on December 20, 2019.
