This week Star Wars fans were met with a delightful treat as Vanity Fair delivered us a tantalizing look at The Rise of Skywalker with some jaw-dropping pictures. Many of the pictures were downright fascinating but some were also interesting because they may contain clues to certain storylines in the film. So, as someone who loves to theorize about my favorite movies, here are a few theories I have concocted after seeing these pictures.
1. This Actually May Not Be Kylo Ren
In the teaser we see Rey preparing to fight someone on the sandy plains of Pasaana. It’s an epic scene as she sprints away from the attacker at full speed. We get a glimpse at a pair of gloved hands, the ones you see in the picture above, piloting the upgraded TIE silencer. At first glance, it seems pretty clear that Kylo Ren is driving the craft but now, after the Vanity Fair issue, maybe it isn’t him after all.
It’s been revealed that we will see the Knights of Ren in this film but what’s the most intriguing is the obvious fact that they will be on the same planet as Rey, Finn, and Poe. That leads me to ask the question; is Kylo Ren even in this section of the story?
In the first picture, the shot focuses on the pilot’s gloves and gives us a view of the character’s chest but no hints of the face. Is this deliberate? I think so.
Take a look at Kylo Ren on this Vanity Fair cover.
