Learn more about Laura Dern’s top secret character in ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’

Laura Dern is one of the new characters we’re going to be introduced to in The Last Jedi. Not much was known about her except for her purple hair and that she goes by Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo. A new cover feature from Entertainment Weekly sheds a bit of light on who Holdo is. She’s part of a cover feature opposite Resistance fighter Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) and comes with the headline “Can Poe get along with his new boss?” The story delves a bit deeper into how Holdo is part of the Resistance instead of being part of the First Order, which was what early rumours suggested. But it looks like she isn’t getting along with some members of the Resistance.

New ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ teaser shows Finn ready to fight

With Star Wars: The Last Jedi less than a month away, the hype for the latest installment of the renowned science fantasy franchise just keeps building up. We get a new teaser for the film showing us two of the protagonists—Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Finn (John Boyega)—ready to head to battle. Rey is seen asking Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) for help after handing over his lightsaber. Meanwhile, Finn wakes up and looks ready to head to war, even saying “I was raised to fight. For the first time I have something to fight for.”

On a related note, it seems we have at least a decade more of Star Wars to look forward to. According to Lucasfilm head Kathy Kennedy’s interview with The Star Wars Show, ““We’re sitting down now, we’re talking about the next 10 years of Star Wars stories and we’re looking at narratively where that might go. Future stories beyond Episode IX, with these new characters, Rey, Poe, Finn, BB-8. But we’re also looking at working with people that are interested in coming into the Star Wars world and taking us to places that we haven’t been yet, and that’s exciting too because it’s a vast galaxy far, far away. The possibilities are endless!”

Rian Johnson is developing a new ‘Star Wars’ trilogy

Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson is going to be sticking around for a while. Disney just announced that Johnson is going to be developing a new trilogy of films for the Star Wars universe. He will be writing and directing the first installment and will be working with longtime producer Ram Bergman. But these will feature entirely new set of characters as Episode IX will close out the Skywalker saga.

Johnson couldn’t contain his excitement over the news. He even sent out a tweet joking, “Obviously I hope you like The Last Jedi. But man now I REALLY hope you like The Last Jedi.” In a statement, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy says, "We all loved working with Rian on The Last Jedi. He's a creative force, and watching him craft The Last Jedi from start to finish was one of the great joys of my career. Rian will do amazing things with the blank canvas of this new trilogy."

Here’s a new look at ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’

With December 15^th fast approaching, we’re seeing more and more of what to expect from the latest Star Wars film. And there’s a lot happening in The Last Jedi. We see Rey training on Ahch-To with Luke Skywalker and him saying she’s only seen power like hers once (we assume he means Kylo Ren) and that it didn’t scare him enough then but it does now. We get a glimpse of General Organa and Kylo seemingly hesitating to blast his mother’s Resistance ship while talking about having to kill his past. Rey also looks like she’s talking to Kylo Ren asking about her “place in all this.” It’s a lot to take in but we’re excited. The movie also gets a new poster which you can see under the cut.
