'Star Wars' returns to the dark side with 'The Last Jedi'. Star Wars The Last Jedi premiered its full-time trailer during the half-time of a football game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears on Monday night. Rian Johnson, director and screenwriter of the eighth installment of the saga, recommends "totally" to the fans from his Twitter account that they do not see it if they want to arrive "clean" to the premiere, since it can contain spoilers. "But it's so good," he adds.
And so much that contains spoilers, including the possible death of Princess Leia. This second advance of the film, after the release in April, starts where Star Wars: The Force Awakens ended with King (Daisy Ridley) meeting Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) on the planet Ahch-To. And, as many followers suspected, the girl is a Jedi.
In the trailer, of 154 seconds, Luke trains and affirms that "only once" in his life has seen this "brute force". "But then it did not scare me enough." Now, "he adds. It refers to his nephew Kylo Ren (Adam Driver, the other last Jedi and grandson of Darth Vader, which at the beginning of the trailer are referred to as a "pure and wild" power.
"Only let you be who you must be," you hear as Kylo Ren prepares to open fire on your ship and we see the frightened face of his mother, General Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher ). Meanwhile, Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) and Finn (John Boyega) fight against the First Order while listening "we are the spark that will ignite the fire that will devastate to the First order". Later, King, who seems to have fallen prisoner of Supreme Leader Snoke, asks Kylo to show him his role "in all this" while he offers her his hand. Will King be passed to the dark side?
"Forget everything I said and look at it, look at it, look at it," Rian Johnson adds in a second tweet. Within two hours of publishing it on Youtube, only the original version already had almost half a million views and more than 21,000 comments, with the hashtag TheLastJedi quickly become trends around the world on Twitter. The reaction among critics has been effusive.
Walt Disney, which owns the Star Wars franchise rights, already used a similar launch tactic two years ago, when it showed the third trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens on ESPN.
The cast of Last Jedi, filmed on the west coast of Ireland and at Pinewood Studios near London, recaptures characters introduced in the seventh installment of 2015, Force Awakens, as Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Adam Driver, as well as the sadly deceased Carrie Fisher. This was, in fact, the last tape in which he participated before dying last December. The new film and penultimate of the saga will be released the 15 of December.
Lucasfilm director Kathleen Kennedy said Fisher will not appear in the ninth episode yet untitled and will be released in 2019, prompting some followers to conclude that the new trailer shows its last moments. Also included in the galactic franchise are the characters incarnated by Benicio Del Toro and Laura Dern, who are not seen in the trailer of which, incidentally, there are already memes.
