The panel \u2014 moderated by Stephen Colbert and featuring director J.J. Abrams, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, and cast members Anthony Daniels, Billy Dee Williams, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Kelly Marie Tran, Joonas Suotamo, and newcomer Naomi Ackie \u2014 was minimal on information in regard to the plot specifics, how certain characters and their relationships with one another would develop in the final film, big moments to watch out for, and the like. But what the panel lacked in concrete information (sure, fans have a decent idea of what to expect, but we\u2019re still mostly in the dark here), the teaser more than made up for it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fuJoH6FdyLM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The teaser delivers more information than one fan can possibly process in the space of two minutes, but what we\u2019re going to spend the most time thinking about is what \u201cThe Rise of Skywalker\u201d could possibly mean. Going into <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Episode IX<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we know that there\u2019s not a whole lot of Skywalkers left. With Luke disappearing and becoming one with the Force and Leia having handed over command of The Resistance to Poe Dameron at the end of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Star Wars: The Last Jedi<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the only Skywalker left is Kylo Ren (don\u2019t forget: Kylo was born Ben Solo, the son of Leia and Han Solo). If, for some reason, Kylo is the Skywalker referenced in the title, then that is going to cast some problematic shadows over this final film as viewers attempt to reconcile how one of this sequel trilogy\u2019s biggest antagonists is suddenly being positioned as the secret focus of the film. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, \u201cThe Rise of Skywalker\u201d could somehow relate to Rey, who has been viewed as one of the main protagonists in this sequel trilogy as well as the successor to Luke Skywalker in terms of power, backstory, and function in the world of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Star Wars<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Rey\u2019s parentage has been an ongoing question since <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and although plenty of theories exist about who her parents might be, the films have actively avoided giving a definitive answer on the topic. Could the answer to Rey\u2019s parentage somehow be tied to the Skywalker name? There&#8217;s also been a theory floating around that Rey is a clone of Luke Skywalker. At this point, anything is possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For now, it\u2019s all theories and wild guesses. We\u2019ll have to find out the true meaning of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when it arrives in theaters on December 20. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The wait is over.
