Disney has released a new trailer forStar Wars: The Last Jedi,writer/directorRian Johnson’s highly anticipated follow-up toStar Wars: The Force Awakens,and it’s pretty incredible. Regardless of what other issues Lucasfilm will occur going forward, the force has beenverystrong on this film all the way through production, and it looks as though Johnson has crafted a sequel that builds upon whatJ.J. Abramscreated in the first film while taking the characters to new and interesting places.
This trailer actually gives us the biggest story hints yet, as it looks as though Luke (Mark Hamill) may or may not reluctantly begin to train Rey (Daisy Ridley), only to find that her raw power reminds himverymuch of Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). Indeed, there’s a lot of mirroring here, and it seems as though the story of this new trilogy is very much the story of two young force strong people, Rey and Kylo Ren, who went down very different paths. It also looks like we’ll get that big fight between Finn (John Boyega) and Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie), and there appears to be a scene in which Snoke (Andy Serkis) has Rey under great duress.
All in all really great stuff, and I continue to be mighty excited to see this thing in theaters in just a few short months.
