Never let it be said that Star Wars doesn’t know how to make an entrance! During the seventh game of this year’s epic world series, Lucasfilm dropped a new teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, with some new footage as well. The First Order and the Resistance are about to resume their intergalactic conflict, but the fate of the galaxy may hinge upon the choices made by Rey and her reluctant mentor, Luke Skywalker.
There’s definitely a powerful sense of nostalgia when Luke steps back into the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon. The last Jedi is heading back into war, whether he wants to or not. Perhaps one of the most chilling aspects of this trailer is the way that Supreme Leader Snoke appears to have foreseen the rise of both the darkness “and the light to meet it.” Kylo Ren even seems to have his own agenda, as he appears to offer Rey the guidance she needs to find her place in the universe.
The trailer also includes a few scenes that we’ve glimpsed before, including Captain Phasma’s highly anticipated rematch with Finn. Somehow we don’t think that Finn will be able to easily dispatch his former commanding officer. But perhaps we’ll see if Rey isn’t the only hero with a strong connection to the Force.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi will hit theaters on Friday, December 15.
