5 takeaways from The Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi trailer
The real question here isn’t have you seen the Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi trailer. That’s crazy talk. Of course you’ve seen it, but the real question is how many times? I’ve decided to decline to answer that question on the grounds y’all might look at me funny going forward.
Let’s just say I’ve seen it enough times to whip up this list of the five moments from The Last Jedi trailer that had me most curious.
Luke’s face-off with Kylo Ren aka where The Jedi fell…again
We already know Kylo and his Knights of Ren destroyed the Jedi Order Ver. 2.0. But it looks like Last Jedi will show how that scene played out in vivid, tragic detail.
The battle on Crait looks familiar
I’m not quite sure what’s going on in this battle, but if you look close enough you’ll see AT-ATs in the distance. Is this an Empire Strikes Back homage. And if so, how will they take them down without Wedge and Jackson?
The Rebels base is under siege Take 2
Echoing Empire Strikes Back it looks like The Resistance’s headquarters gets attacked by The First Order.
Rey begins her training
Just like Yoda and Obi-Wan before him, Luke wants to ensure Rey is fully prepared for her battle with Kylo Ren. But unlike his mentors, Luke might not have the Jedi’s best interest in mind as he trains his final apprentice.
Luke knows the Jedi can’t last
This plays into the notion that Luke Skywalker realizes the Jedi failed and it’s time to build something better. Potentially with Rey as the first of a new, more advanced form of Jedi.
