Ever since the title for Star Wars: The Last Jedi was announced in January, fans have speculated over its meaning.
Who is The Last Jedi? Is this word being used in the singular or in the plural?
We may not have an answer right now, but we do have something else to wonder about in regard to this upcoming blockbuster…
… THE FIRST OFFICIAL TRAILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Released as part of a special convention in Orlando in celebration of the saga"s 40th anniversary (an event that featured Billie Lourd paying tribute to her mom), the following sneak peek is everything a Star Wars fan could ever want.
We see that Star Wars: The Last Jedi picks up right where The Force Awakens left off, with its cliffhanger on the cliffs of the planet Ahch-To, where Luke Skywalker had gone in search of the first Jedi temple.
However, Rey disturbs this retirement by presenting Luke with his original lightsaber… you know the the one, it was lost on Bespin in The Empire Strikes Back.
Director Rian Johnson said at the aforementioned Star Wars Celebration that this next installment will center on Luke and his legendary journey, a nice course correction from the last film, which didn"t feature much of Luke at all.
Naturally, however, Finn, Poe Dameron, BB-8, Kylo Ren, Captain Phasma, Hux and the mysterious Snoke will all make their returns in the movie as well.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi will also mark Carrie Fisher"s final appearance as Princess Leia.
She passed away in December, about a year prior to the December 15 release of Star Wars: The Final Jedi.
"What Rian wrote and the performance she ends up giving, I think you guys are going to find that an amazing tribute to her talent," producer Kathleen Kennedy said at the Orlando convention.
But enough from us, right?
