The first trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the eighth episode in the space saga, premiered Friday at the Star Wars Celebration fan convention in Orlando before it was shared online.
The trailer focuses on Reys Jedi training under the tutelage of Luke Skywalker. Breathe. Just, breathe. Now reach out. What do you see? Skywalker says in voiceover while Rey navigates the Force. Light. Darkness. A balance, she responds. Its so much bigger, Skywalker responds.
Theres also footage of space battles (including the Millenium Falcon in flight), glimpses at characters like Finn and Kylo Ren and a crushed Darth Vader mask.
The trailer concludes with the line, I only know one truth: Its time for the Jedi to end.
During the panel, director Rian Johnson told fans that the film is still in the post-production and editing process. In addition to Johnson and Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy, the panel also featured guest appearances by Daisy Ridley who didnt offer up any clues to her patronage, but admitted The Last Jedi goes deeper into her backstory as well as Mark Hamill, John Boyega, new cast member Kelly Marie Tran (Rose, a maintenance worker in the Resistance) and the android BB-8.
