Original Star Wars Episode 9 director Colin Trevorrow has confirmed that his 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:recent leaked script is ♚indeed real – but has moved to clear up a major 🐓plot point in the wake of Duel of the Fates concept art hitting the internet.

Responding to a fan on Twitter who asked whether the Star Wars concept art – which 🙈includes Rey’s double-bladed lightsaber, as well as R2-D2 seemingly dying – was legit, Trevorrow said, “Yes, this is from Duel of the Fates,” but revealed that R2 didn’t meet his end here, despite the concept art appearing to be pretty definitive: “I’d never kill R2... he just took a bad hit. Happens to all of us.”

So, confirmation. Finally. The Duel of the Fates title. Palpatine’s message. Tor Valum. Kylo’s darker arc. It’s true. All of it.

While that won’t appease those who preferred Trevorrow’s vision to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, fans can find some solace in the c🌳oncept art tha✃t the director was referring to is now being available to look through.

The full gallery can be found on – and includes a greater look at some of the scenes outlined in the Duel of the Fates leak.

In what would have b🌠een one particularly crowd-pleasing moment, the Force Ghost of Luke Skywalker even grabs Kylo’s lightsaber (no jokes, please) mid-swing.

We might not ever see more of this alternate version of Episode 9, but what we have seen will always make us wonder: what if?
