Disney dropped the first teaser trailer for the final film in the Star Wars saga, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Announced at Celebration Chicago, the trailer is equally exciting and revealing. We see Lando, Leia, Rey (doing some amazing acrobatics), and the most intriguing of all—the evil cackle of should-be-long-dead Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid was on stage to introduce the clip). Luke Skywalker's voice over and the film's title also suggests that the famous Jedi, who seemingly met his demise in The Last Jedi, will be sticking around for the saga's final installment.
The film is out in theaters this December. Here are a few choice GIFs for your viewing pleasure:
