Today, Disney released the long-awaited first trailer for the last film in the main Star Wars saga we've known for more than four decades. The film is called Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker—a title that has sent fans of the beloved sci-fi saga into a frenzy.

For a franchise that is known for being extremely secretive and restrictive with every tiny little detail, the new teaser trailer actually is full of some very surprising–and revealing–glimpses of the new film.

Unlike Disney's marketing campaign for their similarly massive tentpole feature, Avengers: Endgame, it seems like Lucasfilm and the House of Mouse is okay with showing off some spoilery glimpses of Star Wars IX.

We've got Lando Calrissian confirmed to be coming back, the return of the (crash-landed) Death Star, and even, if you can believe it, the confirmation of a long-standing fan theory: the resurrection of Emperor Palpatine. Here's all the details you might have missed.
