Here are the major points:

The former Emperor has a red and black cloak.

• The McQuarrie throne is finally used on screen but with stone thorns around it.

• Old Palpatine siphons life into his body through Rey and Ben Solo.

• Palpatine becomes Palpatine unleashed and has more power than ever before.

• Ben Solo appears to die by being thrown into a pit by Palpatine.

• Palpatine the shocks the Resistance fleet, making it power down.

• Rey is empowered by generations of the Jedi that came before her and she rises up to face Palpatine.

• Palpatine’s attention turns towards Rey.

• The money shot is Palpatine shoots lightning in the sky and then at Rey which she deflects with Leia and Anakin’s lightsabers.

• The Resistance fleet recovers and the Falcon brings reinforcements to the battle.

• We likely have seen Exogol in the D23 First Look.

• Sith Stormtroopers appear to be elite First Order troops who were abducted as children.

• Matt Smith does not seem to be in the film as Palpatine.

• Darth Sidious does not appear to ever use a lightsaber in this film.
