Disney and Lucasfilm have released the firstStar Wars: The Last Jeditrailer for writer/directorRian Johnson’s follow-up toStar Wars: The Force Awakens. The trailer was unveiled as part of the Star Wars Celebration panel for the film, along with an absolutely gorgeous teaser poster, and indeed now we have our very first footage fromThe Last Jedi.
This is very much a teaser trailer as we don’t get too many reveals, but the biggest “new” part is certainlyMark Hamill’s Luke Skywalker insisting that the world doesn’t need Jedi anymore, basically advocating for their extinction. Indeed, during the panel Ridley teased that when Rey meets Luke Skywalker, the film delves into the “never meet your heroes” notion—something has certainly changed Luke since we last saw him inReturn of the Jedi. But, as this is ultimately a heroic story, one imagines Rey may be the one person able to change Luke’s mind and get him back into fighting shape. We’ll find out!
