EPISODE IX: RISE OF THE VILLAINS!

Assembled villainy has never been nastier in the sequel trilogy than with the combined forces of the First Order, under the brutal command of Supreme Leader Kylo Ren (with assistance from his onscreen underused Knights and the shady General Hux) and the original First Galactic Empire, under the command of Allegiant General Pryde in the name of the resurgent Emperor Palpatine. The galaxy will quake under their terrifying future plans...

EPISODE IX: AN EMPIRE FALLS...

From the bridge of his Star Destroyer, Allegiant General Pryde, a faithful servant of both the original Galactic Empire and the First Order, and despite his superior tactical abilities for the enemy, is soon in for a mighty and explosive fall during the epic Battle of Exegol that concludes The Rise of Skywalker.

EPISODE IX: BEST OF FRENEMIES!

They may be bitter rivals and enemies onscreen within the First Order, but actors Domhnall Geeson and Richard E. Grant are clearly enjoying their Star Wars filming experiences at a location just outside Pinewood Studios now turned into one of the few tree-lined areas of the volcanic world of Mustafar. A deleted scene at the beginning of The Rise of Skywalker, where General Hux and Allegiant General Prye watch Kylo Ren at his most slaughterous in his mission to find the lost Sith world of Exegol.

The brief scene can be found intact in Rae Carson's recently released 'Expanded Edition' novel adaptation of the film, published in the UK by CENTURY, and available here:

EPISODE IX: A HISTORY IN EVIL...

It's a full-time job hunting down and eradicating 'Rebel Scum', but experienced sadist Allegiant General Pryde is more than capable of leading that task for the First Order, having also been a veteran of the original First Galactic Empire and its dreaded Emperor, in this being-filmed moment from The Rise of Skywalker.

EPISODE IX: PRYDE BEFORE THE FALL!

In command of the Emperor's enormous fleet of Star Destroyers at Exegol, the evil Allegiant General Pryde is given surprising news on the Resistance's attack plans against them, in this critical scene from The Rise of Skywalker.

His ambitions for power and revenge diminished under the constant thumb of the new Supreme Leader Ren, it surely won't be long before the scheming and sneery General Hux will try to take control of the First Order for himself, likely via his association with a new EPISODE IX villain- the surely equally despicable Allegiant General Pryde, as played by an enthused Richard E. Grant, a respected actor who has also been a long-time fan of the saga.
