Reviews: Star Wars the Last Jedi.

in #starwars7 years ago

Star Wars Celebration Orlando gave us our first look at Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the next chapter in the saga. A two-minute teaser was shown at the end of a panel that featured director Rian Johnson and many of the film's stars, and it has more than a few hints and teases about what we should expect from Episode VIII.

We've sat down and picked apart this trailer bit by bit to unravel its secrets. What we've discovered is a lot of interesting stuff about Rey and Luke's story as well as what's going on with the war between the Resistance and the First Order.

Before we get into it, check out the trailer if you haven't seen it already:

We've gone through shot by shot, and will continue to update this analysis as we discover more stuff. If we missed something, let us know in the comments.

The first couple of shots are pretty much a montage of Rey's training.

I'm pretty sure a big chunk of this movie will be about Rey's training with Luke. I actually think she'll spend most of the movie OUT of the action - just like Luke did in The Empire Strikes Back. There's definitely a middle sequel vibe here, since everyone is split up in this movie. Attack of the Clones and The Empire Strikes Back split up the main characters as well.

"What do you see?" Luke asks Rey. This is the start of the talk about balance in the trailer. This is VERY significant, and we'll get to that in a second. For now, Rey sees both light and dark sides of the Force during this particular exercise.

The light side is represented by a shot of Leia in a Resistance base. This doesn't look like the same base on D'Qar from the first movie. I assume the First Order took care of that base at some point between the two movies. Unless we're going to see that at the beginning of the film...

The map Leia is looking at? I'm not sure if that's the map to Ahch-To from the last movie or what... Let me know in the comments, please!
