The Episode IX footage is part of a sizzle reel first revealed to fans at the D23 Expo on Saturday in Anaheim, California. Images include a duel between Rey and Kylo amid a stormy sea . There’s a massive fleet of Star Destroyers. There’s a new shot of Darth Vader’s helmet. There’s Finn and a new character named Jannah together in a cockpit. C-3PO with red eyes. A new glimpse of Leia . A gang of heroes approaching a bustling desert city. But the shot that truly stunned the crowd was a scene with Rey in a hooded black robe revealing an unfolding red double-sided lightsaber.
Director Abrams said at the D23 Expo of adding Leia into the film: “Of course, we can’t talk about the cast without talking about Carrie Fisher. And the character of Leia is really in a way the heart of this story. We could not tell the end of these 9 films without Leia. And we realized that we had footage from episode 7 that we realized we could use in a new way. So Carrie, as Leia, gets to be in the film.
