Lucasfilm dropped the first full trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker during this week's Monday Night Football and it looks like Star Wars legend Mark Hamill has the perfect response to the video.
Hamill decided to take to Twitter after seeing the first full trailer for The Rise of Skywalker make the rounds online, and the Star Wars actor's response to the video perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the third and final entry in Lucasfilm's Star Wars sequel trilogy. The Star Wars actor manages to capture the essence of Episode IX by sharing the final word that the late Carrie Fisher says in the trailer for the upcoming film – always.
Check out the post down here:
In the final moments of the trailer where Rey (Daisy Ridley) faces what seems to be the resurrected version of Emperor Palpatine, the hero is given strength and courage by the words whispered by Luke and Leia.
"The Force will be with you," Luke says.
"Always," Leia hammers.
It's a powerful message, one that reminds fans that the Force will continue to resonate through everyone's hearts even if the Skywalker saga is ending with The Rise of Skywalker. It's not going to be easy moving on from the story that's kept fans captivated with the Star Wars franchise for decades, but we're hoping that Episode IX is going to be that one last but epic adventure that closes out the Skywalker saga.
