First ‘Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker’ Clip Shows Flying Stormtroopers
Set in a planet similar to the sand dunes of Tatooine, the 30-second clip expands on a chase scene briefly featured in the film’s previous trailers and sees Rey, Poe, Finn, C-3PO, BB-8 and Chewbacca attempting to escape a few stormtroopers. As the chase continues down a seemingly endless desert, one stormtrooper from each speeder bike gets ejected to the sky and remains in flight with the use of jet packs. The stormtroopers’ new ability catches the group by surprise, slightly worrying C-3PO, Finn and Poe.
