As a part of the annual
Star Wars Celebration, this year taking place in Orlando, Florida, Lucasfilm released the first trailer and poster for
Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Our First Look At The Last Jedi
Without wasting any more time, check out the brand spanking new trailer.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi Official Teaser
Shown off by Episode 8's director, Rian Johnson, this is the first bit of footage that anyone's seen from the upcoming film. Still maintaining a fair bit of mystery, this trailer seems to give off a much a darker vibe than the light-hearted return we saw in Star Wars: The Force Awakens back in 2015. This more sinister feel seems to mirror the original Star Wars trilogy's leap from Star Wars: A New Hope to Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
Fans of the series will be delighted to know that the trailer teases
the return of one of the most beloved heroes in movie history, Luke
Skywalker. However, as exciting as it is to see our iconic Jedi, Luke
seems to be bearing some bad news. The trailer wraps up with Skywalker
ominously stating that "it's time for the Jedi to end."
A Dark Trailer With A Dark Poster
That aforementioned tone is equally as dark in the movie's poster.
Heavily featuring red, a color associated with the evil Sith in the
series, Luke Skywalker is divided by a lightsaber from his former
student, and
The Force Awakens villain, Kylo Ren.
The other clear connection is Rey's stance, an obvious homage to the
original Star Wars poster. The classic design from the late 70's
featured Luke Skywalker in the hero's role but has substituted Rey for
the protagonist's role, a passing of the torch that began during the
finale of
Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi will release on December 15th, 2017.
