A few weeks back, Marvel releasedTaika Waititi’s lively yet slightThor: Ragnarokwhile this weekend saw the release ofZack Snyder’sJustice League, a genuine disaster. That means that little more than a few weeks stands between hungry audiences andStar Wars: The Last Jedi, the eighth volume in the proper Star Wars saga, not includingRogue Oneor the upcoming Han Solo movie. Of course, some people might be really looking forward toCoco- I hear its very good - but in the realm of blockbusters, Marvel, DC, and Star Wars are the big players at the table.
With a handful of exhilarating trailers and images already having done a good job of getting audiences of all creeds, including skeptics like myself, excited forRian Johnson’s movie, what’s really left to say or see before the movie comes out? Those familiar with marketing plans for these movies know the answer is plenty. So, as one might have guessed, a batch of new images have been released byEWin the run-up to the film’s release on December 15th. Most of these images will look familiar to scenes in the trailers, such as the “gorilla walkers” marching over the lands of a mining planet or Luke watching Rey practice her lightsaber from afar. Others, such as the shot ofLaura Dern’s resistance admiral and a new shot of the Millennium Falcon, are less easy to place but also don’t give us new information to spoil what’s in store in Johnson’s movie. You can check out all the new images below, which will likely just remind you to get your tickets early.
Here’s the synopsis forStar Wars: The Last Jedi:
“In Lucasfilm’sStar Wars: The Last Jedi, the Skywalker saga continues as the heroes of The Force Awakens join the galactic legends in an epic adventure that unlocks age-old mysteries of the Force and shocking revelations of the past.”
