It's on YT now:

Driver always played Kylo Ren as younger than his actual age, and it’s the unformed aspect of the character that helps make him compelling. A confused, angry man-boy radicalized by powerful forces whispering in his ear, an heir to generational trauma raised in an era of endless war, is an all-too-believable threat. But when you get glimpses of him as pre-Dark Side Ben Solo, the character is also unexpectedly sympathetic, even as he’s nearly weeping in frustration as he commands an entire army to train their lasers on Luke Skywalker.

“There’s something in having an antagonist who is a little more vulnerable,” says Driver. “That seems to be more relatable and human than just someone who is a psychopath.” Some of Driver’s best moments as Kylo come in silence, when we get to watch the pain in his eyes (and in general, Driver loves scenes where he gets to listen without saying a word).

Ooooh! If only we could see this! Adam carrying Daisy in a fireman hold? Ahhh! I need to see this! Rian! Pls release this!

This is from the artist that made an Australian Exclusive poster for The Rise of Skywalker:

'It’s been a privilege to have been asked again by Lucasfilm and Disney to do Australian Exclusive poster for The Rise of Skywalker. Inspired by the simplicity of the striking Return of the Jedi poster my aim was to create a design that featured all of the movies in the legacy and not simply a poster about the Rise of Skywalker. Rey's hand and saber hilt was inspired by the Arthurian legend of the Lady of the Lake reaching up to grasp the hilt of Excalibur and it is also a play on the word "Rise". Rey’s finger touching the hilt and the flare of white is symbolic of the “Force”
The original artwork was done using Acrylic Gouache and Prismacolor Pencil on board - 25 x 35 inches

My sincerest thanks to the amazing teams at Disney and Lucasfilm. It was a wonderful project to have been asked to do.'

One of my favorite SW fights ever. I love that video. DR is so funny. “Adam looked like a giraffe that just learned how to walk on ice” And they were screaming obscenities during the fight Yes, we really need more BTS.

Lady of the Lake Rey ?

@reylo1992

Gives excalibur to Arthur

All this leads back to what will become of the Skywalker heir? Will the Bendemption, as some fans have taken to calling it, actually happen? Will Rey’s vision of Ben’s future, that solid and clear picture that convinced her he would turn back to the light, finally come to pass? And if he does turn back, what will be the trigger? Repentance? His mother’s love? His own?

Although it would be quite bold to leave Kylo on the Dark Side, it does seem unlikely that a saga that deals so much about redemption would end on a sour note and leave the once and maybe future Ben Solo unredeemed. Let’s hope the Skywalker saga gets a happier ending than that and that this tortured figure finally turns back to the light.”

EW knows what’s up!!

wow

@reylo1992

IS Kylo Arthur? Arthur also had Knights of the Round Table...

Knights of Ren?

Thanks for sharing!

Go Aussie!!!
(Yeah I’m an Aussie   )

I love how the band around the repaired lightsaber matches the band around Rey’s arm - two injuries inflicted in TLJ throne room..  

I cannot wait for the moment that band is removed from Rey’s arm  in TROS- I am guessing it will... lol

I think It’s right The legacy saber calls to Rey and has chosen Rey as its bearer. Rey is key to the Skywalker legacy: as the last Jedi, as the future life partner of a Skywalker ( depending on what happens with Leia, he may be the last living skywalker)- romantic partner but also partner in the force- they are equals, interconnected with each other in the force. IMHO Rey will give new life to the skywalker lineage- as a mother of future skywalkers.

I’m guessing also that she will be instrumental to releasing the skywalker lineage from palpatine’s enslavement too. But I don’t really see this talked about & it may be just me lol. I think she will be needed to set the lineage free... and to set the whole galaxy free.
The true Jedi. To me, this is why she is centrally vital and why the ST is her story.

As for how her parent’s story fits in here I have no idea. Not long now & we shall see!

I just really want Rey’s story to have a happy ending she’s an awesome character & I can’t wait to see what TROS will hold for her!
Sorry.. now I’m rambling...

@Gemini

Good point. I hadn't thought about that. I remember that back in TFA time, someone had pointed out that the Knights of Ren looked like medieval knights. It seems like the plot of TROS will focus on some kind of quest for the Holy Grail and that the dagger used by Rey will play a key role in this. I see 3 possible interpretations for the poster:
1. Rey represents the Lady in the Lake giving the last Skywalker his legacy lightsaber
2. Rey's hand represents Ben as Arthur, with both Vader and Kylo as shadows of the Skywalker family
3. Rey indeed represents Arthur

This is Carwennan, the dagger used by Arthur to kill the "Very Black Witch":

This Tumblr post about the current TROS marketing made me laugh then felt so sh*tty. Their ship-baiting is so ugly this time.

I think its the first. Rey has always represented the lady of the lake since TFA when she holds "his" saber and he is like ? you goddess!

It wont be his until he is ready to become Ben?
