Yesterday saw both the first teaser trailer and the announcement of the title of the ninth, and final, film in the main Star Wars saga. That title was The Rise Of Skywalker, and that teaser was a bit of a belter, reintroducing beloved characters, and posing plenty of big questions. Just as a teaser should.
And with Team Empire unable to gather in the podbooth yesterday, we had to wait until today – the morning after the night before — to assemble in Helen O'Hara's living room for an impromptu reaction pod, in which Chris Hewitt, Helen, James White and James Dyer – appearing via hologram from Chicago, where he's attending Star Wars Celebration on behalf of Empire – chew the fat over the teaser's various hints and teases.
FYI: James was dialling in digitally, so there's a faint delay when he speaks. Hope it doesn't bother you too much.
Enjoy!
