10 Amazing Moments From The Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer

At long last, the much-anticipated first trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi has arrived. Courtesy of the big 40th anniversary Star Wars Celebration happening in Orlando this weekend, the panel for the upcoming Episode VIII gave us our first look at the next chapter in the saga, and boy was it exciting.

In The Force Awakens, some handy flashbacks briefly appear when Rey touches Luke’s old lightsaber and receives some Force visions. One of these was Kylo and his Knights of Ren and another saw Luke, shrouded in a cloak, and R2-D2 standing before a fire. We know that these were flashes of the day that Ben Solo turned against his Jedi master and murdered his fellow students as he completed his turn to the Dark Side.

The trailer reveals that these scenes will be elaborated upon in The Last Jedi. After an awesome shot of Kylo threatening an unseen enemy (probably Rey) with his lightsaber, we cut to a clip of a burning building with a cloaked figure and R2-D2 in the foreground. This scene matches up perfectly with TFA flashbacks, so we can guess that that’s the Jedi temple being destroyed and the figure falling to their knees in shock is Luke.

The next scene confuses things, as it’s also set in a burning setting. At first glance, then, it looks to be Kylo Ren and his Knights storming through the remains of the temple. On reflection, though, it’s probably another scene entirely, as it features Captain Phasma leading her troop.
