We are officially one month away from the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and Lucasfilm decided to bring the goods to honor the occasion. A batch of eight new images from the movie has made its way online, previewing the oncoming battle between the Resistance and the First Order for the fate of the galaxy. The images, though not too revealing, give us a look at some of the returning favorites from the sequel trilogy, as well as some new faces. First off, we have Rey doing Jedi training against a remote, reminiscent of what we see Luke doing in A New Hope on the Millennium Falcon. Rey is in a forested area somewhere. Whatever planet this may be, it's been previewed in the trailers as well. We then see Adam Driver's Kylo Ren, mask off, rocking his big scar with a host of blurry stormtroopers in the background.

For Android 10, the Dark Mode would turn on automatically but for the lower versions of Android, it could be switched on manually by going to the settings.
