New The Rise of Skywalker clip reveals new stormtrooper ability
The clip shows the stormtroopers, who are pursuing the heroes through a desert, take to the air in flight
The countdown to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is very much on – with less than a month to go until the final film in the Skywalker saga hits cinemas.
And the excitement of fans will be sure to have gone up another notch on seeing a new first-look clip posted on Twitter.
The clip sees heroes Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega) and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) in addition to Chewbacca, C-3PO and BB8 as they find themselves the victim of a high-speed pursuit in the desert.
And as if being on the run from First Order stormtroopers wasn’t bad enough, things get even worse for the bunch when they make a startling new discovery – that the stormtroopers have developed the ability to fly.
As the stormtroopers take off into the air, a panicking Finn incredulously asks, “They fly now?” before the suspicion is confirmed by Poe, who echoes back: "They fly now!"

Details of the film's plot have understandably been kept under wraps but that hasn’t stopped fans speculating as to possible events in the saga's close – and this latest clip will give them even more to chew upon until the film finally arrives next month.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is released in UK cinemas on December 19, 2019
