[Infinit01]

Get an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Annie Leibovitz photographs the places and faces behind the film.


HOT TAKE
Members of the crew shade and shine Daniels, the only cast member to appear in all nine of the Skywalker films, while BB-8 looks on.


J.J. Abrams, alongside Stunt Coordinator Eunice Huthart, directs the Knights of Ren; elite fearsome enforcers of Kylo Ren’s dark will.


FIRST LOOK
Vanity Fair reveals Keri Russell as the masked scoundrel Zorri Bliss, seen in the Thieves’ Quarter of the snow-dusted world Kijimi.


FORCE MAJEURE
First Order leaders General Hux (Domhnall Gleeson) and Allegiant General Pryde (Richard E. Grant) on the bridge of Kylo Ren’s destroyer.


DESERT POWER
Joonas Suotamo (Chewbacca), Ridley, Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), and John Boyega (Finn) await the call to action for a chase scene.

Camera operator Colin Anderson readies a take for a chase sequence spotlighting the heroics of Chewbacca, BB-8, and Rey


PUNCH IT!
In a historic reunion, Lando Calrissian (Billy Dee Williams) retakes the helm of the Millennium Falcon, joined by Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), Chewbacca, D-O, and BB-8. “He’s a survivor,” Williams says of Lando.



Finn and new ally Jannah (Naomi Ackie), atop hardy orbaks, lead the charge against the mechanized forces of the First Order. “It’s extremely surreal to be in it,” says Ackie, “and see how it works from the inside.”

Jordanian locals play the Aki-Aki, natives of the planet Pasaana.


STAR CROSSED
Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and Rey battle it out with lightsabers in a stormy confrontation. Their Force-connection—what Driver calls their “maybe-bond”—will turn out to run even deeper than previously revealed.


Director and co-writer J. J. Abrams and crew weather the Jordanian sun to capture the action on planet Pasaana.


ENCORE
Composer John Williams conducting the Star Wars score, drawing on themes and motifs he has woven across four decades. “I didn’t think there would ever be a second film,” he says.


FROM THE ASHES
Mark Hamill, as Luke, with R2-D2. Speculation is rampant about who will “rise” as the Skywalker of the movie’s title—and how that choice will reflect the way the world has changed since Star Wars debuted in 1977.

Oh SWEET!

Loving some of these pics; thanks for posting Infinit01!

Point!

[Infinit01]

You're welcome, glad that you enjoyed them

[Darth Logos]

50 years and Lando hasn't changed his outfit? Because obviously SW fans are too stupid to figure out it's Lando without another nostalgic throwback. Thanks Jar-Jar.



Anybody else seeing a Rocketeer ripoff?


Let's hope Finn's new girlfriend doesn't stop him from saving the day this time.

Also, don't these mounts look a little familiar?

I cant stop staring at how she is holding that bow...

That'll probably be the least of our woes.

*sigh* you're probably right.....

Give that man a prize!

And there's the Logos bash. We all know you strongly dislike the sequel trilogy, but if you don't have anything good to say, just don't say anything at all. I have my fair share of problems with the sequels, but I don't hate on them every single chance I get.

As for "Finn's new girlfriend", I'm guessing it is either Finn's sister, or Lando's daughter.

And do you really find it hard to believe that Lando might just like to wear a yellow shirt? Obviously it isn't the same one as from Solo, that one was torn to shreds.

Right now I'm just poking fun. Yes I know he's changed clothes. DUH! Billy Dee isn't exactly a slim young man anymore, so sizing would be an issue. Yes I've considered that he just digs the look (kinda like I dig T-shirt and jeans), but change up the color palette. I actually was happy that they made it a character trait in Solo; Lando digs capes. He wore one in ESB. He wore one with his uniform in ROTJ. And then in Solo they just made that his style, he has a whole closet full of capes. But honestly, JJ's seeming obsession with throw backs leaves a foul taste.

Excited to hear more on Kylo and Rey's force-bond

According to the last movie, that bond was Snoke's doing.

FIRST LOOK

While it does remind me a little of the Rocketeer, that is no bad thing. I LOVE the Rocketeer and Keri Russell is an extremely talented actress. This is definitely my favourite photo of the lot.

According to the interview, Kylo Ren is "mowing down the Knights of Ren" in the trailer

[Samhain138]

Poor Anthony Daniels having to wear that death suit on location.  That mans a champion.

Having a pretty dang accurate Kylo suit, that capes like the tin foil on a baked potato.  These poor guys.

That boy with the gun arm....I want to make that happen.

So.....Why?  This is one of the main sticking points of TLJ....The Knights of Ren were built up in name and Rey's Vision....but then...nothing.  Now Kylo is killing them?  This movie has a lot of work ahead of it.
