As Star Wars fans know, Jurassic World helmer Colin Trevorrow was originally brought on board to conclude the Sequel Trilogy with Star Wars: Episode IX, only for the filmmaker to exit the project due to creative differences, with J.J. Abrams then coming on board to craft what became Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Back in January, Trevorrow’s script – titled Star Wars: Duel of the Fates – fell into the hands of leakers who revealed details of the plot, while we also got to see a whole bunch of concept art to give us an indication of how this alternate ending to the Skywalker Saga would have looked [see for yourself here and here]. And now thanks to YouTube channel Mr. Sunday Movies, we can enjoy Duel of the Fates in animated style! Check out the fun video here…
