Most people have probably been waiting to see the Knights of Ren in action since Star Wars: The Force Awakens. However, the long wait is finally over. The mysterious individuals have just been featured in the new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker TV spot and it looks like they're after Rey and the Resistance.
The new teaser opens with a haunting message: "Confronting fear, is the destiny of the Jedi. Your destiny." Naturally, we get a shot of Rey and Kylo Ren facing off on top of a structure surrounded by violent waters. But then, we are blessed with a sight we never thought we would see until the film's premiere: The Knights of Ren are shown on a cliff looking around a desert planet.
It's a stunning vision considering that we've already seen Rey, Finn, Poe Dameron, Chewbacca, and C-3PO in a similar landscape. At one point, the gang appear to be in a chase across the desert, suggesting that the Knights of Ren are the ones attacking them. Could it be because of a dangerous mission that may or may not work out for the heroes?
Threepio has the teaser's second ominous message: "If this mission fails, it was all for nothing." Sounds like they are going to need all the help they can get, but could it come from Kylo Ren? There is a brief shot of Kylo using the Force against an unseen attacker while his lightsaber is plunged deep into one of the Knights of Ren. Looks like he's not such a bad guy after all.
If the Knights of Ren isn't enough for you, the TV spot also features a short (but sweet) look at the Sith Troopers in action. Now we really can't wait to see this movie.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hits theaters on December 20.
