Короче, кто там спрашивал за краткий сюжет игры. Если хотите сами узнать сюжет, просто скройте пост.

Есть падаван Кэл Кэстис в бегах. Его учитель отдал жизнь, чтобы спасти его, теперь он 5 лет работает разборщиком кораблей времен Войн Клонов на планете-свалке. В какой-то момент он вынужден использовать Силу, чтобы спасти друга. Инквизиция само собой узнаёт и присылает Девятую сестру и Вторую сестру (пик 4), которая становится главным злодеем всей игры, по ходу сюжета узнаем, что она бывший падаван Цере. О приезде инквизиции узнаёт и команда "Богомола", состоящая из четырехрукого деда Гриза Дритус и черной джедайки Цере Джандо, которая, испугавшись перехода на Тёмную сторону отказывается от использования Силы. Они спасают главного героя и привозят на планету Богано.
Цере нужен кто-то, кто владеет Силой, чтобы выполнить испытания, уготованным джедаем-археологом по имени Эно Кордова, который к тому же является её учителем. Тому было видение, что Орден будет уничтожен, поэтому он забрал из Храма Джедаев голокрон, в котором находились данные обо всех чувствительных к Силе детям в галактике. Он нужен Цере, чтобы возродить Орден Джедаев. Чтобы он попал в руки достойных, Кордова прячет его в Храме Зеффо, путь к которому откроется только если избранник сможет пройти путь Кордовы. А следить за всем этим и порционно поставлять информацию в виде голограмм с самим Кордовой должен его дроид BD-1, который начинает сопровождать главного героя.
И вот, пошел сюжет, в стиле Лары Крофт исследуем три гробницы Зеффо, узнаём про их древнюю цивилизацию, представители которой были одарены Силой, называли её Ветром Жизни и строили всё своё общество на поклонении мудрецам - тем, кто владел Силой (пик 1 это они как раз).
Пару раз по ходу сюжета сталкиваемся со Второй Сестрой, скидываем в ЯМУ Девятую сестру (само собой даже в описании персонажа в кодексе информация об её смерти написана с вопросительным знаком). По ходу сюжета побываем на Илуме, Кашиике, Датомире, Зеффо это планета, на планете Зеффо находился центр цивилизации Зеффо, которую составляли представители расы зеффо, встретим Со Герреру и вождя вуки Тарффула. На Датомире к нам присоединится последняя Сестра Ночи, которая выжила после того, как Гривус во время Войн клонов перебил их всех (пик 2), а так же там мы побеждаем поехавшего кукухой и павшего на тёмную сторону джедая Тэрона Маликоса (пик 3), который выжил в ходе Истребления, потерпел крушение на Датомире и застрял там.
Когда удаётся заполучить голокрон, мы его само собой проёбываем и отправляемся в самое логово инквизиции - Инквизиторий, чтобы забрать его. Заканчивается всё финальной стычкой со Второй сестрой, которая уже становится четвёртой нашей с ней битвой за игру. Побеждаем её и забираем голокрон, Цере пытается вернуть её к Светлой стороне, но тут приходит Вейдер и убивает Вторую сестру, главный герой и Цере, которая морально ободряется по ходу сюжета и в конце возвращается к Силе, отправляясь с нами в Инквизиторий, убегают от него, происходит пара стычек, но так как крепость находится под водой, раненые Цере и Кэл выбивают стекло и пытаются уплыть, их спасает Сестра Ночи.

И вот, финал, голокрон у нас, но герои, собравшись вместе и оценив весь пережитый опыт решают уничтожить ему, ведь создание Ордена Джедаев из этих детей приведет к тому, что Империя непременно начнет охоту за ними. В итоге решается, что лучше оставить этих детей там, где они есть, чтобы Сила сама распорядилась их судьбой. И игра заканчивается полнейшим клифф-хэнгером, у нас есть команда из главного героя и черной джедайки, которые по ходу сюжета преодолели пост-травматический синдром, четырехрукого деда, Сестры ночи, владеющей магией и милого маленького дроида, которые думают, чем займутся дальше.

Here’s what we know about how Episode IX begins: It’s been more than a year since the events of 2017’s The Last Jedi. The First Order has decimated the Resistance. Rey has been training to use the Force. Finn and hotshot pilot Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) have been sent by General Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) to find allies throughout the galaxy, but so far haven’t had any luck. “They’re trying to put bandaids on this leaking ship of the Resistance,” Isaac says.

Their mission leads Finn, Poe, and Rey to work together, which has, oddly, never happened before in the trilogy. And since there’s a time jump, the characters have all grown and changed since we last saw them. “We’re not just a ragtag group of people who have been thrown together,” Isaac says. “We’ve actually had time to train. There are some really great sequences with the three of us in infiltrating spaces.”

Both Isaac and Boyega say they had their character wishes granted for the final film. Isaac wanted Poe to get “out the cockpit and into the group,” while Boyega wanted Finn to become a more capable solider (and not, as the actor candidly puts it, just a “comedic goofy dude who never gets stuff done”).

“I definitely wanted more after Episode VIII,” Boyega says. “[Rise of Skywalker] makes Finn’s Episode VIII arc make more sense. We got to bring out a side of Finn we haven’t seen.”

To help spark the trio’s on-screen chemistry, Abrams told his cast to feel free to improvise dialogue, and many scenes were shot using long, continuous takes to keep their flow going. “J.J. came back with a new energy and new vibe,” Boegya says. “He wanted dialogue to be messy and natural, and that got all of us really excited.”

“I think it really captures the spirit of the original trilogy,” Isaac adds. “On top of that there’s fact that Rey has…“

The actor stops, catching himself before revealing too much.

Rey has… what?

“Rey is driving her own thing,” Ridley says. “She’s not doing what other people are telling her to do.”

We last saw Rey mourning the death of her mentor Luke Skywalker (who returns in the film, presumably in Force ghost form, played once again by Mark Hamill) and shutting the door to Kylo’s power-mad seduction attempt. The heroine has since made progress in her Jedi training. “I have skills that have developed, but ‘confident’ isn’t a word I’d use to describe it,” Ridley says. “She’s definitely more in control of everything and can do new fun stuff, but she’s vulnerable and a little insecure about at all.”

Yet Rey will use more than her Force powers in the new film. As Abrams hints: “The scavenger who is desperate and haggling for portions and trying to survive [in Force Awakens] — those special skills and that special experience ends up being something that is essential to saving the galaxy.”

Ridley trained in kickboxing for the final chapter as well, but says the emotional toll of Rey’s journey was more difficult than any combat scenes. “It’s a heavy story for Rey,” Ridley says. “There were days where I was literally like, ‘I can’t do this, I’m so tired, I don’t know if I can like reach that emotion again.’”

Part of Rey’s journey involves solving the mystery of her identity. Well, again. Kylo revealed in The Last Jedi that Rey’s parents are deceased nobodies, “filthy junk traders [who] sold you off for drinking money.” The line embraced the idea that a hero doesn’t need to come from somebody special in order to be somebody special. Yet many fans called foul as the trilogy has teased Rey’s identity as being crucial information from the start (“Classified?” Rey echoed back to BB-8 during her debut sequence. “Me too. Big secret”).

“The parents thing is not satisfied — for her and for the audience,” Ridley says. “That’s something she’s still trying to figure out — where does she come from?”

It’s unclear if Abrams has made a course correction to Last Jedi writer-director Rian Johnson’s plan or there was always more to say about Rey’s parentage. Either way, wasn’t the Episode VIII scene supposed to be sincere?

“It’s not that she doesn’t believe it,” Ridley says carefully, “but she feels there’s more to the story. And she needs to figure out what’s come before so she can figure out what to do next…”

That Rey and Kylo end up battling on the wreckage of the second Death Star continues Abrams’ penchant for showcasing ruined relics of the original trilogy — like Rey spelunking in a wrecked Star Destroyer and living in an AT-AT walker on Jakku in Force Awakens. “It felt like going into the haunted house, the place that you have to go to,” Abrams says of bringing back the iconic space station. “This is a story of people having to grapple with the burden the prior generation dumps on those that follow. So literally returning to this wreck of the past and having to fight it out felt like an obvious metaphor, but also felt incredibly cinematic.”

Of course, there’s another original trilogy fallen icon in the film too. Fisher died after filming The Last Jedi. Figuring out how to utilize Fisher’s previously deleted scenes in the new movie was one of Abrams’ biggest challenges. “Saying Leia had passed away, or that she was off somewhere else, felt like a cheat,” Abrams says. “Then I remembered we had these scenes that we hadn’t used from Episode VII. It was like finding this impossible answer to this impossible question. Suddenly we had classic Carrie in these amazing moments. So when you see in the movie, it’s her, she’s there. It’s not like there’s some crazy digital trickery. She’s just in the movie.”

A couple of other original trilogy characters are likewise integral. Billy Dee Williams is back as that ol’ pirate Lando Calrissian for the first time in live action since Return of the Jedi. Williams says he’s excited to return to the character despite enduring fans coming up to him for decades accusing him of betraying Han Solo. “The whole Star Wars experience feels like it never goes away; It’s always there,” Williams says. “There are all of these things that have happened in Lando’s life that he’s got to resolve.”

There’s also paranoid android C-3PO, who in the latest Skywalker trailer ominously says he’s taking a “last look” at his friends. Threepio is essential to a movie’s plot for the first time since A New Hope (Ridley points out Rey might spend more time with Threepio than any character in the film).

“In previous recent movies Threepio has just been kind of window dressing, something on the mantlepiece, you polish it and dust it o when guests are coming,” says Anthony Daniels, who has played the golden droid’s body and voice in every Skywalker Saga movie. “J.J. and Chris came up with this aspect of Threepio we had not seen before that’s remarkably clever. They go down deep into ancient Star Wars and came up with something refreshingly new.”

Joining Threepio in the metal headgear club is newcomer to the saga Keri Russell. Despite having worked with Abrams for years on Felicity, the actress found herself escorted to a small room where she could only read the Skywalker script under watchful guard. Her character is Zorii Bliss, who’s “involved in some intimate, sketchy stuff” and wears a large brass-and-crimson Daft Punk-like helmet.

“For a shy person this is my ultimate dream job — I get to be in Star Wars and my face is covered,” Russell marvels. “I can see everyone and no one can see me. Though I now have giant throbbing neck muscles like Mr. T.”

There’s also newcomer Naomi Ackie portraying Jannah, a bow-and-arrow-wielding warrior who rides a horse-like creature called an Orbak. Real animals were used on set, and until you’ve ridden a horse dressed up like exotic alien across the surface of the Death Star you haven’t really lived. “I was just gobsmacked,” Ackie says of the experience. “Every day you’re grappling with the fact that every choice you make in a small moment is going to be broadcast to the entire world.”

Ну, после такой концовки и продолжать не захочешь

Ну и намеки на призраков, делающих какую-то дичь

While the film is introducing new characters, Abrams insists Rise of Skywalker won’t set up a future story. He’s not leaving loose threads for Disney to hang another trilogy directly onto the back of this one. Lucas’ original dream of an intergalactic tale about a farm boy from Tatooine is at last about to set — just like those dreamy twin suns collapsing into the desert. “It’s a very good ending, and a good ending feels right,” Daniels says simply.

And yet, in another way, the final Skywalker Saga film is very much about the future of the franchise. Star Wars will continue to exist in an omniscient Force-like fashion, in everything from toys to TV shows to videogames to theme parks, but new movies have always been the brand’s creative core. Since buying Lucasfilm in 2012, Disney’s movies in a galaxy far, far away peaked early at the box office with Force Awakens and sunk to their lowest level with the most recent entry, 2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story.

At one point during our interview, Abrams declares, “the stakes are all or nothing with this film.” He was referring to its high-stakes story line, but the same could also be said about the franchise. Even if we never see Rey, Finn and Poe on screen again, Rise of Skywalker’s popularity will likely make an impact on Disney’s next studio moves — guiding like a fallen Jedi or Sith’s unseen hand.

Speaking of: There’s at least one key player we haven’t discussed. Palpatine’s return may be the most closely guarded story line in the film. How is the Emperor, who Vader tossed into the Death Star’s reactor core, back in a seemingly corporeal form?

“This has been a very long chess match that’s been played between the Jedi and the Sith — all the way back to the very beginning,” Issac teases. “It’s an amazing thing to see that really come to the forefront.”

The Rise of Skywalker might very well turn out to be a full-fledged reunion special of Force ghosts. And what are the rules that govern the Jedi and Sith spirit realm anyway? Obi-Wan Kenobi said in Empire Strikes Back that he “cannot interfere” with Luke’s fight with Vader. But in The Last Jedi, Yoda suddenly called down a lightning strike. What can Force ghosts do — and not do — in our world?

Abrams’ reply to that key question is pretty much what you’d expect.

“That’s probably best answered,” the director says, “by not answering it.”
