New Star Wars The Last Jedi poster for AMCDisney have released a new poster for The Last Jedi and AMC Theatres, and it follows the classic Star Wars style of poster lots of people and faces in one bottom corner, main characters medium sized and center, ominous face looming in the background, vehicles on the side. Aside from reinforcing the dark and foreboding tone weve come to associate with The Last Jedi, it has one small thing thats raised our collective eyebrows What appears to be a significant scar on Reys shoulder. Its not exactly a revelation, but it makes one wonder how she got such a wound. Was it while training with Luke From fighting Kylo If so, how many times do these two meet over the course of the filmThis is the sort of speculation that even the little details get us wondering about. Update November 8, 2. The Last Jedi couldve starred an evil Skywalker clone. In a recent interview with our sister publication SFX magazine, Mark Hamill shared some of his personal reflections about Luke Skywalker, and where he might like to see the Skywalker saga go next. You would assume that after saving the galaxy the way he did he would become, like, a venerated member of the high Jedi order, Hamill said, sort of like a cardinal or a monsignor, who knows, maybe the Pope of Jedi So far, so good, right But wait Hamill has more. My son Nathan is the real Star Wars buff, added Hamill, and he told me years ago, Dad, theres this great story where they clone an evil Luke from your severed hand 1.

I said, Oh, baby, would I love that Not only could you get to play your evil twin, but what a great idea that you bring Luke back, and the audience starts noticing him undermining the heroes, cutting their fuel supply inexplicably, maybe even killing one of the supporting characters. It would be so mind boggling, and then of course the real Luke shows up and that mystery is solved. But theres too much Luke, and its not my story anymore. When I suggested it to Star Wars The Last Jedi writerdirector Rian Johnson, he said he thought that was a cool storyline too, but its been done. Rian had to find a way to take elements of the movies that everyone expects to be there the action, the adventure, the special effects, the creatures and humor so that everyone feels theyre having a Star Wars experience, but also bring something new to the table, thats challenging, that hasnt been done before. I think hes done it. This one doesnt feel like any of the others to me, aside from the elements I just spoke about. People say, Is it more like Jedi, is it more like Empire I dunno, its sort of like its own thing.

Star Wars The Last Jedi teaser. It was only 4. 5 seconds long, but good grief, did the latest Star Wars The Last Jedi trailer mess us up good and proper. Considerably darker than the the preceding two teasers, the latest video entitled Awake intimates things are not going well for Luke Skywalker, even if we do get to see him reunited with the Millennium Falcon again oh, the emotions.

Update October 2. Carrie Fisher kicks butt as Leia. Given it will be Leia Organas last hurrah we think, the upcoming debut of Star Wars The Last Jedi is bittersweet for all. But director Rian Johnson wants us to know that Leias final adventure will be a memorable one. Having these scenes in the film recontextualize tragically with her not being here anymore, its incredibly emotional, Johnson told USA Today via LRM. For the next few months, seeing the fans process the loss and celebrate her as Leia one last time, its going to be intense. I think its going to be really sad but really joyful, I hope. She really kicks butt as General Leia, and Im happy for that. As for what it was like, working on such an iconic franchiseIts hard to go too long on set without having something remind you youre standing in the middle of your Kenner toys you grew up with, the spaceships and everything, says Johnson.
