Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker comes to Bu-ray in March. Lucasfilm released a new trailer for the film's home media release that reveals some major plot points from the film. The trailer, embedded below, implies the familial relationship between Rey and Emperor Palpatine (though that relationship is more complicated than the film suggests). The trailer also reveals one of the final shots of the film, in which Rey takes the Skywalker name as her own. It seems that Lucasfilm and Disney feel safe in assuming that anyone who has strong feelings about spoilers has seen the film by this point.

Even if you've seen the film, the Blu-ray comes with plenty of bonus materials. According to the official press release, "Bonus material includes a feature-length, making-of documentary, which goes behind the scenes with the cast and filmmakers from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and explores the legacy of the Skywalker saga. Bonus features also dig into the film's Pasaana desert scenes, including the thrilling landspeeder chase, and the ship in which Rey discovers family secrets as well as a new little droid named D-O. Plus, fans will hear from Warwick Davis, who reprises his role as Wicket the Ewok, as well as the creature effects team that created a record 584 creatures and droids for the film. Digital consumers will receive an exclusive feature highlighting legendary composer John Williams, who has scored every episode in the Skywalker saga.
