What. Does. It. Mean?!

So the final Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker trailer has dropped, and you'd better believe there's plenty in there to discuss.

Before we go any further though, you'd better give the trailer another viewing. In particular the moment that starts at 1:13, and has to do with our shiny, articulate pal, C-3PO:

"What are you doing there, Threepio?"

"Talking one last look, sir... at my friends."

OK, so there some longer theories as to what that moment might actually mean — bit of a quick glance through Twitter is enough to show that some people are already in full panic mode.

Yikes.

Still, panic aside, it's only a fleeting moment from the trailer which has probably been placed there intentionally to generate as much buzz as possible, right?

Right?
