The new trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi released tonight during Monday Night Football — and it did not disappoint. With their lightsabers in hand and their trusty droids at their side, fans were treated to a brand new — and gut-wrenchingly shocking — look at the highly anticipated installment of Star Wars.
The new trailer gives us glimpses of Rey’s (Daisy Ridley) intense Jedi training with Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) that somehow scares him. We see Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) throw his tantrums and General Leia (the late Carrie Fisher) show growing concern over the galaxy. It also seems that Finn (John Boyega) is back to good health as he goes toe-to-toe with Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie). Poe (Oscar Isaac) is also back in action as is Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) with a Porg — a new cute creature for the Star Wars universe — by his side. We also see a very wrinkly look at the evil Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis). Ew. Nonetheless, it all ends with an omg! really? shocking moment where it looks as if Rey is joining the Dark Side.
The film also sees the return of Maz Kanata (Lupita Nyong’o), General Hux (Domhnall Gleeson), Lieutenant Connix (Billie Lourd) as well as new members of the intergalactic cast include Benicio Del Toro and Laura Dern.
In addition to the trailer, a new poster for the movie came out:
