While we did not get an official title reveal for Star Wars Episode IX at Disney’s recent presentation for their shareholders, they did reveal a sizzle reel of footage for the crowd that was present. That footage won’t hit the internet for a while (if ever), but a description for it has arrived.

Star Wars! Avengers! Galaxy's Edge! It's all so awesome! Seriously though, the shareholders meetings are always a blast! — Scott Ladewig (@Ladewig) March 7, 2019

The footage from Avengers, Episode IX, Lion King, and Aladdin all looked great. Hopefully the people up in arms about the genie will settle down once they see what we saw. — Scott Ladewig (@Ladewig) March 7, 2019

Scott Ladewig recently attended Disney’s 2019 meeting for their shareholders and was willing to share some information about all the movies that he saw to inquiring fans, including Star Wars Episode IX. He started off with a brief overview of some of the key scenes, many of which focus on the film’s four leads: Rey, Finn, Poe, and Kylo Ren.

We saw a blockade runner in an abandoned looking hangar. An explosion knocking Stormtroopers in a starship hangar bay. Kylo Ren in a white room looking at the Vader helmet. Rey, Finn, Poe in Falcon cockpit. — Scott Ladewig (@Ladewig) March 7, 2019

A fourth character is present in the Millennium Falcon in the scene with three of the leads of the Sequel Trilogy are in the cockpit.

There was a fourth but I didn't get a good look as Poe walked in to cockpit. — Scott Ladewig (@Ladewig) March 7, 2019

Kylo Ren does not wear a helmet in this scene. His appearance seems to be the same as it was in Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi.

No mask. — Scott Ladewig (@Ladewig) March 7, 2019

Going to guess no but the scene goes by so quick I couldn't really say. It's all so overwhelming to take it all in. — Scott Ladewig (@Ladewig) March 7, 2019

We only saw him in one scene and he looked pretty much the same as far as I can recall. — Scott Ladewig (@Ladewig) March 7, 2019

Also worth noting is that Kylo Ren is in a room reminiscent of Darth Vader’s meditation room seen in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. In the scene shown, he appeared to be distraught.

He was in a room like in the rebel Blockade runner style, that bright white. And he's looking down as a box or container opens to reveal the charred Vader helmet. — Scott Ladewig (@Ladewig) March 7, 2019

Ohhh, that's very possible…… I hadn't thought of that. — Scott Ladewig (@Ladewig) March 7, 2019

So a suggestion the white room we saw Kylo in could be harkening back to Vader's meditation chamber. That's not a bad idea. https://t.co/RomuOmRd1F — Scott Ladewig (@Ladewig) March 7, 2019

Hmmm.. he didn't look sad so much as he looked pained.Looked like he was having a bad day. — Scott Ladewig (@Ladewig) March 7, 2019

Good point, maybe it was just his resting Kylo face. — Scott Ladewig (@Ladewig) March 7, 2019

Meanwhile, the interior of the ship resembled that of the Tantive IV from the opening sequence of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, although it was likely a new ship altogether.

Kind of looked like the interior of the Rebel Blockade runner. That bright white look. — Scott Ladewig (@Ladewig) March 7, 2019

Lando Calrissian also appears in this sizzle reel of Star Wars Episode IX footage, and Rey visits what appears to be a repurposed version of the “Exotic City” design that went unused in The Force Awakens.

So @dizparks just reminded me that we saw a marketplace (?) scene with Rey walking through and some aliens. — Scott Ladewig (@Ladewig) March 7, 2019

The footage that was shown went by quickly, but one thing that Ladewig remembers was a number of behind-the-scenes shots of Daisy Ridley preparing for her own stunts.

It's so hard to recall because it fits from scene to scene so fast. Nothing really stands out from the behind the scenes. Oh wait! I just remembered… A really cool clip of Daisy doing wire work, jumping and turning a somersault high up in the air with a lightsaber. — Scott Ladewig (@Ladewig) March 7, 2019

Yes, pretty sure on the behind the scenes we see her doing wire work with a saber in hand I think. Not in the finished footage that I can recall but I could have missed it. — Scott Ladewig (@Ladewig) March 7, 2019

Rey’s hairstyle is apparently the same as it was in Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi in the scenes where her hair was bunched up.

Her hair looks pretty much the same as in the previous film. — Scott Ladewig (@Ladewig) March 7, 2019

I think it was up in most scenes, but it went by so fast I may have missed it. — Scott Ladewig (@Ladewig) March 7, 2019

When asked about if any major space battle sequences were shown, Ladewig explained that he didn’t think that they were far enough into post-production to show anything.

No, not really. I bet those effects and scenes are still being worked on. — Scott Ladewig (@Ladewig) March 7, 2019

Ladewig also stated that he wasn’t sure if any of the other cast additions to Star Wars Episode IX appeared in the sizzle reel.

Possibly but it goes by so quick and we only saw it once. — Scott Ladewig (@Ladewig) March 7, 2019

However, he also noted that the Knights of Ren were not part of the sizzle reel.

No nothing like that. — Scott Ladewig (@Ladewig) March 7, 2019

Special thanks to Sleemo for bringing Ladewig’s insight to our attention.

Star Wars Episode IX will be released on December 20, 2019.
