Episode 8: The Last Jedi was much controversial, and criticised for a confusing and rushed plot, along with under utilising Mark Hamill. Daisy Ridley’s character Rey and her rise as a Force user remains the primary focus.
Star Wars Episode 9: Trailer Breakdown
The title and the first teaser trailer for Star Wars Episode 9 were released on April 12 last month, with the official name of the movie as The Rise of Skywalker. The trailer solely focused on Rey, her interaction with Leia, along with the return of the rebels group including Poe and Finn.
What took Fans by surprise was the tease of Empire Palpatine’s evil laugh. He was presumed dead in the previous movies. It also features the return of Lando’s character and the ruins of a Death Star along with the sand planet which looked like Tatooine.
Star Wars Episode 9: Plot Details
While there has been no official synopsis or any story details, about Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the only sure thing sure is that it will focus on the central characters from last two movies. A time-jump is in order. It will feature the Adventures of Rey, Poe, Finn and Kylo Ren.
JJ Abrams confirmed that it will be the final chapter. It will close all the story arcs. Hence, it will wrap up the Skywalker storylines which started 40 years ago. While there are reports that the Resistance fighters are almost on the verge of their end.

Why the subtitle ‘The Rise of Skywalker’
JJ Abrams refused to disclose any details about the story of the movie. He explained that the subtitle would be clear after the audience has watched the movie.
But during the flow of titles, this movie had a very different responsibility. It had to be the end of not just three movies, but all the nine movies, and the idea of having to incorporate the stories that have come before me, strangely, is the story of this movie.
One thing is sure that Star Wars Episode 9 will be the end of Epic Space Drama. Stay tuned to Hiptoro for more Star Wars Updates and other news.
