The new Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer has been released and brings with it a whole bunch of prophecy babble, fades to black, probable spoilers, and cute creatures to help shift toys. This is definitely a Star Wars trailer, and I am here for it.
Check it out below, but beware – it does seem like it gives an awful lot away.
The first thing to note is that it looks bloody lovely, but that’s to be expected from arguably the biggest franchise in the history of pop culture. If Rey was to bring out a lightsaber that was made with sticks and LED lights, that probably wouldn’t fly.
The theme running throughout the trailer seems to be Rey’s morality, where she belongs in the world. Is she good or bad, basically. The voiceover at the start of the trailer by (presumably) Snoke will feed into their later encounter, which sees Rey looking like she’s not having a good day.
Rey and Luke also look like they might have something of a fractious relationship because of the former’s power, which is probably going to feed theories that she is related to Kylo Ren. The pair look like they’ll tussle again, or even team up because of Kylo’s outstretched hand, but we all know that won’t happen.
I’m going to leave the in-depth dissections of the trailer for the inevitable hour-long YouTube videos, so let’s roll through some other highlights.
