Jet Trooper from Star Wars

Jet Trooper From Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Revealed

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.

Returning cast members for Rise of Skywalker include Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Kelly Marie Tran, Joonas Suotamo and Billie Lourd. Joining the cast are Naomi Ackie (Doctor Who), Richard E. Grant (Logan), Dominic Monaghan (Lord of the Rings), Matt Smith (Doctor Who) and Keri Russell (The Americans), who will also be joined by veteran Star Wars actors Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels and Billy Dee Williams, who will reprise his role as Lando Calrissian.

The role of Leia Organa will once again be played by Carrie Fisher, using previously unreleased footage shot for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
