The Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker trailer might give you chills in any form. A new 16-bit version from John Stratman echoes the style of the classic Super Star Wars SNES game, with pixellated animation capturing the movie scenes and chiptune composed by Amena Kheshtchin-Kamel takes on John Williams' score.
Along with the Emperor's newly digitized cackle, multiple jaw-drop moments from the trailer hit the same dramatic tone in 16-bit animation. Our new heroes standing before the remnants of the Death Star, for instance, reinforces the importance of Rey's journey and the need for good to triumph over evil.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hits theaters Dec. 20.
