The promo clip, released online Tuesday, features familiar scenes (C-3PO taking one last look at his friends, which is a tearjerker if ever there was one), and heart-lifting scenes (Finn delivering his patented WOOOO!). But it's the footage of Rey and Kylo Ren that's stirring up fans on Twitter. They kind of have one word for it. And they like to say it a lot. Reylo. Reylo. Reylo.

Something tells us fans might be a little excited about Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), with some people pointing out the footage dropped on Nov. 19, Adam Driver's 36th birthday.
"Dropping Reylo on Adam's birthday?" wrote one Twitter user. "Taste."
Wrote another, "The official trailer of (The Rise of Skywalker) was released on Carrie Fisher's birthday. All this new footage and photos were released on Adam Driver's birthday. Why is it symbolic? They're the last two Skywalkers left alive during the last Skywalker Saga film."

The official trailer of TROS was released on Carrie Fisher’s birthday. All this new footage and photos were released on Adam Driver’s birthday. Why is it symbolic? They’re the last two Skywalkers left alive during the last Skywalker Saga film. 🙃🙃🙃 pic.twitter.com/VKVjbO551Y

Let the past die, kill it if you have to. But before you do, wish Adam Driver, the man in Kylo Ren’s mask, a very happy birthday below... pic.twitter.com/nIXAEzcyNz

The footage includes a look at Kylo Ren's unnerving black mask, now repaired with red, Rey taking a dangerous leap to reach the Millennium Falcon as Kylo reaches out to her, and a lightsaber battle scene between the two.
Not a bad updated look to Kylo Ren's mask, but I still believe he looks more menacing with the cloak over his head. pic.twitter.com/dz9OsKQgRk

Surely, Rey vs Kylo Ren will be the least exciting final battle in movie history? 🙄 She has already beaten him with minimal training so what's the point in seeing her do it again? #RiseofSkywalker https://t.co/PHh1FIrWa7

Ben Solo better live. Just saying.

I have to say this. I still find the idea of Rey and Kylo fighting absurd. Like we know they both won't kill each other.

This is why I really hope that the last battle is not the one with Rey and Kylo fighting eachother.
