Rumor: Episode IX Teaser and Title Reveal Soon??
Hey all, Link Voximilian here! We’ve got a new leak from the production of Star Wars Episode IX! It reveals what will be shown in the first teaser and when we can expect said teaser to drop. Also a possible title reveal and it’s a doosey. Stay tuned for more!
SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS!
This is coming from our source going by the name “Touchdown Travis.” Travis has the deets on what’s going down in the editing room at Lucasfilm and here is what he shared.
There’s going to be a teaser Thanksgiving during a night football game on NBC for Star Wars IX. It’s pretty short (about a minute) and reveals the title. I’ve just seen it to approve it going on cable television.
It opens with a slow fade in on a field with a rebel flag battered and torn blowing in the wind on a green planet. Footsteps get louder and a figure from behind in black armor and robes lights the flag on fire and it cuts.
There’s a hauntingly beautiful rendition of “The Force Theme” that begins to play that is all high pitched vocals singing softly and slowly as the Lucasfilm logo is displayed. The best way to describe the music is that there is a sense of finality to it.
There are slow motion scenes of the closing moments of a battle. Injured peoples, agony, pain. Finn is devastated and Poe looks defeated. Billie Lourde’s character Connix has voice-over about how bleak things look. The scene fades and her voice-over continues and explains that people are afraid of the First Order’s reach.
Next shot is a behind the shoulder shot of Kylo Ren, featuring a cape and a crown or tiara getting up off his throne as General Hux stands below clearly nervous. The crown looks like a dark side relic of some sort.
The scene cuts back to the battle and General Hux is explaining how his men had them all cornered off and the scene at the battle plays out accordingly. The scene cuts back, a close up on Hux’s face and Kylo asks softly, “What went wrong?” as the scenes interchange between battle and Hux.
Connix comes back and says, “But we won’t stop fighting because we have something they’ll never have…”
While Poe and Finn look off camera simultaneously and the camera cuts back to Hux looking more fearful. It cuts to black, Connix says, “Hope.” and it cuts in to a head shot of a hooded Rey and a sound of lightsaber ignition, but you don’t see the blade.
The title, STAR WARS: THE END appears on screen over a star field.
A final shot of BB-8 beeping and knocks a rack of stormtrooper helmets over. It cuts to Poe and Finn, both in stormtrooper armor with startled looks on their faces. Poe gives BB-8 a stern look then the droid beeps an apology followed by a final cut to black.
What do you think of this leak? Fake? Real? We will find out soon since Thanksgiving is right around the corner!
