Don’t be afraid, we feel it too. The reluctance to read spoilers about Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker<\/em>.<\/p>\n

…You will remove these restraints, because these are gold, and they don’t really<\/em> give anything away…they’ll just make the anticipation to see the film even greater.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Vanity Fair<\/a><\/em> released some juicy new info and behind-the-scenes images from the anticipated film, the ninth and final movie in the entire series and the conclusion of three trilogies spanning more than 40 years. And Daisy Ridley<\/a><\/strong> and Adam Driver<\/a><\/strong> each appear on separate covers, with gorgeous shots photographed by Annie Leibovitz<\/strong>. Ridley’s in costume as Rey, wearing her new white Jedi outfit, while Driver appears as brooding as ever in Kylo Ren’s dark robes.<\/p>\n

The light and the dark, the yin and the yang. Oh, Reylos will be pleased. And even more when they find out what has been said about the characters.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Here are six bombshells we learned from Vanity Fair<\/em>‘s feature on Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker<\/em>:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

1. Will They Or Won’t They?<\/strong> “He had been forging this maybe-bond with Rey,” Driver told Vanity Fair<\/em> about his character, Kylo, “and it kind of ends with the question in the air: is he going to pursue that relationship, or when the door of her ship goes up, does that also close that camaraderie that they were maybe forming?”<\/p>\n

A source close to the movie told the magazine that Kylo and Rey’s Force-connection will turn out to run even deeper than we thought. <\/p>\n

And get ready for more explosive confrontations; A photo by Leibovitz shows the two having a lightsaber battle in a storm.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I think there’s a part of Rey that’s like, dude, you f–king had it all, you had it all,” Ridley said. “That was always a big question during filming: you had it all and you let it go.”<\/p>\n

2. Rey Is Ready:<\/strong> Sources told Vanity Fair<\/em> that in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker<\/em>, Rey will have progressed in her training to the point where it’s almost complete.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

3. Welcome Knights of Ren:<\/strong> The rumors are true: Kylo’s Knights of Ren will finally arrive in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker<\/em>. Vanity Fair<\/em> features a behind-the-scenes photo of them in the desert.<\/p>\n

Not to be confused with Snoke’s Elite Praetorian Guards seen in the throne room fight scene in the previous film, Star Wars: The Last Jedi<\/em>, the mysterious Knights of Ren last appeared briefly in the vision Rey had on Takodana, in the first film in the new trilogy, Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/em>.<\/p>\n

4. The War Between Good and Evil: <\/strong>Sources close to the movie told Vanity Fair<\/em> that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker<\/em> will finally bring to a climax the millennia-long conflict between the Jedi Order and the Sith.<\/p>\n

In the first two trilogies, the major antagonist was Palpatine, aka Darth Sideous, a Sith Lord. It was revealed<\/a>  last month<\/a> that the character will make his return in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker<\/em>.<\/p>\n

5. Keri Russell’s Character Is Revealed:<\/strong> The actress, a newcomer to the Star Wars<\/em> franchise, is playing the masked scoundrel Zorri Bliss<\/strong>, whose costume brings to mind that of the original trilogy’s bounty hunter Boba Fett and the Attack of the Clones<\/em> bounty hunter Zam Wesell.<\/p>\n

6. Carrie Fisher Will Appear Onscreen Again With Her Daughter, Billie Lourd:<\/strong> The beloved actress who originated the role of Leia in the first trilogy and reprised her part in the latest two films passed away in 2016. Director J.J. Abrams<\/a><\/strong> revealed last year that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker<\/em> would include unseen footage shot of her from Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He told Vanity Fair<\/em> he started to write scenes around the old footage, fitting Leia’s dialogue into new contexts, and re-created the lighting to match the way Fisher had been lit. He also said that he initially wrote Lourd, who plays a Resistance officer named Lieutenant Connix in the new trilogy, out of scenes with her mother. He said she wanted to be in them.<\/p>\n

“And so, there are moments where they’re talking; there are moments where they’re touching,” Abrams said. “There are moments in this movie where Carrie is there, and I really do feel there is an element of the uncanny, spiritual, you know, classic Carrie, that it would have happened this way, because somehow it worked. And I never thought it would.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
