After a huge weekend of Star Wars, and the rest of Disney’s many properties at the D23 Expo this weekend in Anaheim, CA, we’re still getting little reveals about what we can expect with the ninth and final installment of the Skywalker Saga with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker this December.
Over the weekend, the official Star Wars Twitter account posted an image of the Jet Trooper from the upcoming film, a new class of white-armored Stormtroopers who may (or may not) be better shots than their grounded counterparts.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has J.J. Abrams (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Trek) returning to direct the ninth and final installment of the Skywalker saga. Abrams co-wrote the screenplay with Chris Terrio (Argo, Justice League). Composer John Williams, who has scored every chapter in the Star Wars saga since 1977’s A New Hope, will return to a galaxy far, far away with The Rise of Skywalker.
The film is produced by Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams and Michelle Rejwan, and executive produced by Callum Greene and Jason McGatlin.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is scheduled for release on December 20.
