    The more they hide Matt Smith and Palpatine, the more easy is to assume they are involved in the same plot point.

    Several, the main article had links to others. This article has a lot of links to additional information: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywoo...anity-fairs-the-rise-of-skywalker-cover-story

    Given it is a photo shoot, they actually shot the real Mark Hamill, so there would be no post-processing to add the Force Ghost effects. Maybe Luke is really resurrected, but at this point we don't know.

    Recanonizing Legends bit by bit, I see. Now R2 is the force sensitive one who no doubt sabotaged R5, instead of R5 doing it himself. Clever, Disney.

    I think I've read them all. So no mention of Palpatine at all? At least in none that I read.

    About the odd Luke picture. Remember the track record VF has with their photography. I wouldn't get too excited.

    I think that pic of Luke and Artoo is a promo and not from the film.
    The context doesn't make any sense.

    If it's a flashback, why is Luke wearing his TLJ outfit and have gray hair?
    If he's a Force Ghost, why is he wearing a glove? A ghost mech-hand?

    Thinking more and more that while our heroes go on the adventure we are seeing in the publicity photos, R2 is off on his own journey with Luke as his ghostly companion. And when all seems lost, R2 arrives with The Thing That Kills Sith Ghosts, or something like that, and saves the day.

    But it would be equally emotional for the audience if a "resurrection" happens where the screen goes really bright and when the brightness begins to fade, there is Luke Skywalker in the flesh; well with clothes on too. Not a dry eye in the house among Hamill's many adoring fans.

    I doubt that will happen.

    It's like Luke tells Rey in the trailer.....this is her fight now

    I'm reminded of what Qui-Gon told Yoda in TCW: "I exist where there is no future or past."

    Maybe something makes it possible for Rey and/or Kylo to connect with that plane of existence and experience people and places they'd otherwise be unable to see. Such as a "resurrected" Luke... or even Palpatine.

    The longer I look at the pictures the more I get the feeling that Annie Leibovitz is a Sith lord named Vanity Fair and Palps mom.

    Ayup.

    "Through the Force, things you will see. Other places. The future, the past. Old friends long gone."

    Rey and Ren being able to see those things together, rather than individually -- and maybe even able to interact with them -- seems like a cool way to broaden the scope of that idea.

    The author of the Vanity Fair article speculates that he, (and we) don't know if "Rise of Skywalker" refers to Luke coming back or not. If this picture of Luke confirmed that Luke was alive wouldn't Lev Grossman say something along the lines of, "we can confirm that Luke Skywalker is alive in TROS" rather than basically saying, "we don't know what's up with Luke in TROS"?

    I would much rather have someone like Breznican doing the interviewing and writing. Someone with a bit of interest in SW, someone who knows what he's talking about.

    Did you read the article? Grossman had some very interesting observations on the mythic and thematic aspects of Star Wars. I think he’s interested, and I think he knows what he’s talking about.

    Many Making Star Wars leaks came to mind while viewing these photos, adding even greater probability to some of the other things Jason has shared.

    Rey will become so powerful in the force that she'll be able to go look back to past events in greater details and manipulate those events as well. She will sit on this lovely chair and stare smugly at other people.


    Wait


    OH GOD WHAT FRANCHISE ARE WE DISCUSSING?!?!

    Yep, read it all. Lots of covering of old ground, nothing much new and he didn't seem to ask any probing questions. Nice pictures though.

    To be honest, there is very little new information in the VF articles, most of them are almost clickbaits that only speculate about the plot.

    The pictures, on the other hand, are brilliant, amazing. They got me very excited for the movie.

    I haven't had a chance to focus on the images yet -- have we seen anything that isn't an Earth-based environment?
