New Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Trailer Teaser Released

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will get its final, full-length trailer tonight during ESPN's airing of the New York Jets vs. New England Patriots game on Monday Night Football. Now a new teaser for the trailer has been released. The teaser debuted on ESPN today, offering a glimpse, presumably, at what's to come from tonight's full trailer debut. You can take a look at the teaser in the video above. JJ Abrams returns to direct Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the final installment of the sequel trilogy and the Skywalker Saga, following Rian Johnson's work on Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Abrams says the new film will be the conclusion to the entire nine-film Star Wars saga.

"Endings are the thing that scare me the most," Abrams admitted. "This is about bringing this thing to a close in a way that is emotional and meaningful and also satisfying in terms of actually answering [as many] questions as possible. So if years from now, someone's watching these movies, all nine of them, they're watching a story that is as cohesive as possible."

At the D3 Expo earlier this year, Abrams offered some additional details about what fans can expect from the new film. "The movie doesn't pick up immediately after the last film," he said. "Some time has passed. This movie is an adventure the group goes on together. One of the great things about getting to work on the movie is the dynamic between all of the characters. They're amazing together, and it's something I'm excited for you all to see."

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker stars Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong'o, Domhnall Gleeson, Kelly Marie Tran, Joonas Suotamo, Billie Lourd, Naomi Ackie, Richard E. Grant, Keri Russell, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Billy Dee Williams, and Carrie Fisher.
