“Star Wars: The Last Jedi” isn’t out until December of this year, but things are already heating up. With the Star Wars Celebration set to go off next month in Orlando, only a few weeks left to wait before a teaser footage shows up in our midst.
Disney held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders last week, where the company gave a presentation of its upcoming movies for their biggest properties – including a sizzle real for “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.”
Star Wars: The Last Jedi teaser footage details
In a report by SlashFilm, details of the teaser footage has surfaced thanks to SlashFilm reader Matthew Hansen. Read his report below for a detailed bullet point of the reel, as reported by SlashFilm:
The Walt Disney Company Annual Meeting of Shareholders opened, as always, with a sizzle reel explaining the values/ideals and goals of the company. As always, quick snippets from unreleased films were included with other clips from movies, TV shows, and sports. The shots shown included:
- An interior shot from Star Wars: The Last Jedi featuring Luke Skywalker (in some sort of cave or maybe one of the stone huts seen on his island?) saying “Who are you?”
- Poe Dameron in his X-Wing yelling “It’s now or never” as it cuts back to BB-8.
- Fighters flying through a line-up of the Resistance fleet – had a feel similar to Rogue One over Scarif.
- Chewbacca roars.
- A shot of Captain Phasma.
- Finn dressed as a First Order Officer on the bridge of a First Order ship. Actress Kelly Marie Tran was standing to Finn’s left, also dressed in a First Order uniform.
- Several shots of Rey igniting and spinning Luke’s lightsaber.
- Rey’s hand, in slow motion, with all five fingertips touching the ground and pebbles and dirt hovering around her hand.
- Leia turning to the camera with a hologram of the fleet behind her.
- An X-wing flying into a hangar, possibly the Resistance’s since it looked like another X-wing was parked there – with the nose of the X-wing flaring/popping upwards as the X-wing braked quickly in the air.
- There was also a wide shot of the island, with Rey out on the point of a ridge practicing with her lightsaber as Luke is farther up the ridge, looking down towards her.
Thanks to Hansen’s report, we now know what to expect for “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.” But those were the only things revealed, and we can only do so much to imagine. So far, it kind of sounds like the Empire Strikes Back of the “Star Wars” saga, with most likely being half a Jedi training tale (presumably Rey with Luke), and the other half being most likely being the Republic fighting it off with the Empire. With “The Force Awakens” being heavily compared and likened to “A New Hope,” let’s hope that “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” would have its own distinction from Empire Strikes Back.
