Episode IX Stories

The Rise Of Skywalker Art Book Cover

I love this picture! It's so beautiful!
Rey is standing in a fiery landscape, which looks like Mustafar.
If it is Mustafar then that's going to be strange because in my Fan Fiction: "In Darkness Bind Them." A Star Wars Story inspired by the Lord of the Rings Rey wears a white outfit and goes to Mustafar to destroy the ring instead of Mordor.

Then we see Ben /Kylo.
I personally believe that his location could be connected to this scene from the Force Awakens:

He seems to be in a dark wet landscape, just like in Rey's vision.
And because of the mountain ranges in the background of this picture...

... I also think that it could be the same location as this scene from the trailer:

Another thing I love about this picture is they are mirror images of each other. Exactly the same, but in reverse.
She is wearing all white, while he is wearing all black. She is in a red landscape, while holding a blue lightsaber. He is in a blue landscape, while holding a red lightsaber.
She is like water, full of life and light. She is calm and flowing. But she is surrounded by raging fire.
He is like a raging fire, fierce and filled with death. But he is surrounded by calm, flowing water.
Between their sabers is a bright light
Which, in Star Wars promotional art usually means a romantic relationship.

I was going to write a one shot about this scene, but I had to many ideas. So I decided to write a short fan fiction inspired by this picture instead.
