Here’s your first look at ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’

The first trailer for the upcoming Star Wars: The Last Jedi picks up from where we left off in The Force Awakens. A big chunk of the teaser focuses on Rey and Luke on the planet Ahch-To. He seems to be training her there but we hear a contradictory message from Luke at the end saying, “It’s time for the Jedi to end.” We catch glimpses of Finn in a pod, some big battles, and Poe Dameron running to his fighter which is suddenly caught in an explosion. There’s just enough action and suspense to keep us excited for the movie’s release on December 15th.  

And with all the Star Wars hype, rumours about whether Carrie Fisher will be making an appearance in the movie following The Last Jedi. Lucasfilm President Kathy Kennedy puts the rumour to rest saying General Leia will not be appearing in Episode 9. According to The Verge, Kennedy says we’ll be seeing a lot of Fisher in The Last Jedi and she’s “absolutely phenomenal” in the film. She says Fisher’s brother, Todd, might have gotten the films mixed up when he spoke about it last weekend.
