My first guess to why there's a Palpatine laugh: Rey has a force vision of Palpatine/Palpatine's spirit when she goes to the crashed ruin of the Death Star II.

That is pretty possible. In Shattered Empire when Leia went to Naboo she could feel the presence of hatred Maul left there. So for a powerful force user like palp in his grave...

Might also have a chance for Anakin to show up.

There is 100% an Imperial Class Star Destroyer with lights on!

If you put playback speed to super slow, its at the 1:32 mark.

Yeah I think you're right. We can totally see the shield globe and the bridge. https://imgur.com/JJ46Wy2 JJ46Wy2.jpg

Is that red paint we see on it just after that or is it just a shadow ?

So possible new configuration/title to the silencer incoming???

Still... its better than the Rey vs a Star Destroyer Concept Art

Looks kinda like the bridge of an ISD, yes, but also sort of looks to be "facing" the wrong direction. IE., the neck seems to be descending in the direction the A-Wing is flying, but we see the A-Wing flying over quite a bit more length of hull.

So I'm thinking it's another new ship?

Ok Rey's finally getting her ball rolling, she looks AWESOME now and I'm being serious. But we just learned that "The Saga Comes to An End".

So, time for 30 years of radio silence from her till they bring her out to "pass the torch" when they revive the franchise.

There appear to be lights aboard.

It could be red paint still. Didn’t the rebels paint commandeered Imperial ships?

Maybe it’s a Resistance Star Destroyer?

Still hoping that Leia's secret back up is Imperial Remnants not down with the First Order.

That would actually be kind of neat. Wouldn’t mind Thrawn returning in that capacity.

I can’t buy he was a part of founding the First Order - they’re too incompetent.

Me and some of my friends have been wanting this since TFA.

MuwahaHahaHaHa...!

The Emperor?

Plus giving the Empire itself a redemption story of sorts

I'd just like to see the Colossus come to the rescue.

Isnt the Eclipse lurking in the unknown region?

What is the ship seen around 1:13 that is flying down to the planet? Engine glow is about all I can make out? A-wing, Y-wing? Something new?

Now imagine if it's called TIE Avenger! Dang, I will need to buy into the FO.

The title of "SKYWALKER" has been mentioned in the new Thrawn book. apparently Chiss do have a few force sensitive individuals, but manifests in children and only in precognition astronavigation abilities. The Chiss call children with the ability as 'skywalkers'

Is that a new silencer or an updated TIE Interceptor? To me it looks like a “Special Forces Interceptor”.

As cool as this is, I'm not sure they'd go through with it.

Based on what little lore we know about the existing canon, it's much more likely the new rebellion salvaged a few old ISDs from the scrapyards to fight the FO with. I mean scrapping out 25,000 +/- ISDs would take decades, right?

Neat maybe, but WHY would she be wanting to leep over it, AND it want to be raming her? are its weapons disabled? AND can a LS really cut straight through a star fighter??

The dark side of the force is a path to many abilities some would consider ... unnatural...

i could buy that Palpatine was dark side ghost, pulling the strings.

Well, as we saw in the Dark empire saga, he did have plenty of clones to shunt his essence into..

Have you ever seen someone happy that they shot at a Jedi holding a lightsaber?

PLENTY of folk, in the rpg at least.

Now that would be sweet..

That would fit with the presence of what appears to be an ISD-I , wouldn't it...? Huh.

Might not even be Kylo in the interceptor. The pilot being him is a fair assumption, but we only see the pilot's gloves...

What if that opening scene with Rey and the FO interceptor is just a vision/ dream? It seems more like a spiritual meaning in fighting a starfighter with just a lightsaber, and less like an action scene.
