Trailer for ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’

The day is finally here! The Last Jedi trailer just dropped and is two minutes and thirty-five seconds long. I have tickets for opening night and second viewing purchased.

My Thoughts On the New Trailer

• We get updated versions of the AT-AT!
• Luke accepts the lightsaber!
• It seems we’ll get an explanation of how Rey is so powerful and what happened with Kylo Ren’s training.
• Luke isn’t the naive kid from the original trilogy anymore. He’s “seen” stuff, ya know?
• It insinuates that Kylo Ren kills Leia too. I doubt this will be the case since that would put his character beyond redemption.¹
• The way they continue to add to this universe with new aliens and creatures is so cool.
• BB-8 is back! I mean, that was never in question, but still.
• Finn vs. Phasma!!!
• Phasma’s costume is just so cool. Really looking forward to seeing her more in this film.
• Leia’s costumes look great.
• First look at Snoke, and he’s just as ugly as we thought.
• That last part of the trailer has got to be clever editing.
• Kylo Ren’s scar gets smaller as the movie progresses. Smart move by Rian Johnson.
• Just like The Empire Strikes Back this film looks like it’s going to get dark.

I usually only watch the first trailer of movies I’m really looking forward to, so this’ll have to hold me until December. I’m so excited!
