It’s finally here!
The trailer for “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” was revealed Friday — giving fans their first long look at Luke Skywalker, Rey, Finn and the rest of the gang who will be appearing in the film.
The action-packed footage was released at the Star Wars Celebration convention in Orlando and onﷺline soon after.
In it, several characters from “Force Awakens” — including an on-the-run Poe, a battle-scarred Kylo Ren and an injured, recovering Finn — are seen dealing with the fallout from the film.
“Breathe,” Luke says, as the trailer opens with a shot of Rey beginning her training.
“Just, breathe,” he repeats, seemingly teaching his new protege how to harness the power of the Force.
“Now reach out. What do you see?” Luke asks.
“Light. Darkness,” Rey replies. “A balance.”
To which Luke responds, “It’s so much bigger.”
During this, the footage includes glimpses of the Millennium Falcon in action, Finn in🍌 a healing pod and a lightsaber-wielding Kylo — along with a close-up shot of his mangled, nearly destroyed mask from the last film.
The trailer ultimately concludes with Luke ominously saying, “I only know one truth: It’s time for the Jedi to end.”
“Star Wars: The Last Jedi” is set to open in theaters in December.
During the “Celebration” panel Friday, director Rian Johnson told fans the movie was in post-production and that he was still editing.
The filmmaker also unveiled the very first poster for “Last Jedi,” which features a menacing close-up of Luke and Kylo — as Rey points her blue lightsaber to the sky.
The actor who plays the heroine, Daisy Ridley, described how Episode 8 would be picking her story up right where “Force Awakens” left off, though all may not be what it seems, she teased.
“It’s difficult to meet your heroes, because it might not be what you expect,” she said.
