The Rise of Skywalker, through the trailers following the initial teaser, have been hinting at the struggle Rey will have, as she is caught between keeping the promise of paying tribute to her mentor’s (Luke Skywalker’s) legacy or giving into the dark side from the likes of Kylo Ren and his Knights of Ren.
While the official trailer did hint at the conflict between Rey and Kylo Ren, especially after the social-media craze over Dark Rey cracking the web streams, this marks the first time that the conflict between our last Jedi and newly-crowned Supreme Leader’s conflict has been put at the forefront in promotional material.
