The media push for Space Movie 9: The Risening starts this week. Even if you’re sticking to quote-unquote “official” sources, you may want to consider drawing your online curtains to avoid seeing something you’d rather not. Tastes vary.

probably means a new trailer soon as well.

According to the head of global marketing for Hasbro, 65-70% of their merch has to be released after TROS because of spoilers.

That seems like a smart move, hopefully they can keep the spoilery stuff from leaking out.

They've announced the companies that will be doing The Rise of Skywalker advertising and tie-ins, Porsche, United Airlines, Samsung Mobile, Dannon, Bose, GE appliances, McDonald's, and General Mills.

There's no way she's gone bad just so Kylo can turn good... then again

He's the only Skywalker left to rise--unless Luke had a family he didn't talk about.

 

[Tuskin38]

Or the title doesn't mean what you think it means.

 

[DigificWriter]

I think I know what the title refers to, and it's tied to something that Daisy recently said in an interview.

Is the SW panel at NYCC tomorrow? I assume we can expect the new trailer to follow.

 

[JD]

Hopefully. I'm assuming this should be out last trailer?

 

[Tuskin38]

I thought NYCC was just merchandising

I thought NYCC was just merchandising

They've shown both a new Picard and Discovery trailer, so likely there's a SW coming (this was hinted at by Pablo Hidalgo (?) on his twitter feed too).

 

[Tuskin38]

I'm assuming the next trailer is coming with Football.

Look who's back:

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT THING. We just received a solid “YES” from a representative for the actor, Denis Lawson will be in #StarWars #TheRiseOfSkywalker reprising his role as Wedge Antilles.

[JD]

Awesome. I've been hoping to hear about that happening, but I'd pretty much given up hope at this point.

It's a good time to be in the Ewan McGregor clan.

Nice! Christmas time!

But this will really stink for retailers... Other than getting stuff delivered practically on Christmas day , it will NOT be a big Star Wars bonanza.

Can they make Happy Meals for adults???

Not necessarily. Most merchandise will already be in the stores with a don't sell until this date sticker.

He also popped up on the cover of a new novel.

But only 4 shopping days before Christmas???? Not as many people will go for that.
