As teased earlier this week, the highly anticipated full-length Star Wars The Last Jedi trailer has been released, providing a first extended look at what we can expect from the storyline of the new Star Wars movie that will be premiering in theatre screens worldwide in December 2017.
The Storyline and Direction
Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi has been written and directed by Rian Johnson, known for his work on films like “Looper” and episodes of the critically acclaimed TV series “Breaking Bad.” This film is the second installment in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, following on from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which was released back in 2015. The storyline is expected to delve deeper into the mysteries of the Force and the history of the Jedi, with a particular focus on the character of Luke Skywalker, portrayed by Mark Hamill. The trailer hints at a darker tone, with Luke ominously stating, “This is not going to go the way you think,” suggesting unexpected twists and turns.
Cast and Characters
Star Wars: The Last Jedi will be available to watch from December 15th, 2017 onwards and stars a stellar ensemble cast. Mark Hamill returns as Luke Skywalker, and the late Carrie Fisher reprises her role as General Leia Organa, in what will be her final film appearance. The movie also features Adam Driver as Kylo Ren, Daisy Ridley as Rey, John Boyega as Finn, and Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron. Andy Serkis returns as the enigmatic Supreme Leader Snoke, while Lupita Nyong’o is back as the wise Maz Kanata. Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, and Gwendoline Christie also reprise their roles as General Hux, C-3PO, and Captain Phasma, respectively.
In addition to the returning cast, the film introduces new characters played by Laura Dern and Benicio del Toro. Dern portrays Vice Admiral Holdo, a high-ranking officer in the Resistance, while del Toro’s character, known only as “DJ,” is shrouded in mystery and is expected to play a pivotal role in the unfolding events.
Expectations and Speculations
The release of the trailer has sparked a flurry of fan theories and speculations. One of the most talked-about moments is the apparent conflict within Kylo Ren, who is seen struggling with his allegiance to the dark side.

Another significant aspect is the role of the Porgs, the adorable bird-like creatures that have already become a fan favorite. While their exact role in the story remains unclear, they are expected to provide some comic relief amidst the film’s darker themes.
The visual effects and cinematography, as showcased in the trailer, promise to be nothing short of spectacular. From epic space battles to intense lightsaber duels, The Last Jedi is set to deliver the high-octane action and emotional depth that fans have come to expect from the Star Wars saga.
