Here it is..... the first, official, never-before-seen look at Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi, releasing on December 15th, 2017.



What do you guys think of this first sneak peek at the next chapter in the Star Wars saga?

Damn, Im so fucking hyped about it that I nutted on my Rei waifu pillow then went on to watch Kylo Ren rule 34 pics, this is the greatest hype in the world yo, come on GUN, wet yer pants with me!

It looks cool! I'm hyped! I have already seen it 4 times because I'm watching the stream, I'm excited to see the First Order AT-ATs and to see Luke do something.

Watch Kylo Ren be a hero and bring balance to the force lol

I am really hyped I just got done watching it.

It's a nice teaser, I can't wait to see more! I'm just glad that these entries aren't as overdone in comparison to the prequels.

I can't wait! I wonder what Luke really meant when he says that Jedi really need to end.

@GhostCR0 I think he means the Jedi rules aren't fit for the galaxy now, because the First Order are dealing blows to the resistance and the republic and he doesn't want to sit around and watch it happen, so my theory is he creates a new order without so many restraints and more in the gray area of the force so he can get involved and help the resistance. But that is just a theory.

This. After following Luke as he grew into basically the perfect example of a Jedi in the original canon, and went on have various wonderful adventures, I'm not sure I could take it if they really do have Luke being a broken man who has lost all faith. Even if he gets it back through Rey or something, I would still prefer that he not be in that state.

So, hoping it was a very out of context line. Guess we will see.

That said, I am hyped, especially for the continuing growth of Kylo/Ben. He quickly became my second/third favorite character already, and he still has several movies at least (even if he isn't redeemed, which I'm almost certain he will be, given it's likely Leia's last hope/wish) and all the time to fill in prior to his becoming Kylo in the expanded material. I also found Rey, Poe, and Finn fun to watch at least, so all in all, I can grit my teeth over what they have done with the OT cast and still enjoy what is to come.

I think Luke said that because being a Jedi did make him a hero, but also scar him. He lost his uncle and aunt, his parents, his Republic and everything he knew and loved because of that he feels like being a Jedi has done him more harm than good. If they killed off Leia after Carrie Fisher's death it could make this theory a lot more plausible imo.

I really hope they have a plot twist that'll be more original than "Luke is actually a Sith", "Plagueis is Snoke" or "Luke is Rey's Father's Brother's Nephew's Cousin's former roommate". I want them to not force a plot twist in there, but if they can make it memorable and a total mindfuck to the audience.

EDIT: @LightSabersEdge I used those as examples. I never said anybody actually believed those (though Plagueis being Snoke is a popular theory).

@Corvo I don't think Luke will turn into a sith, It's not at all like Luke to join the dark side, and I don't think the people making the film would want to do that, Luke has always been the good guy and will always probably be. I also don't think that Luke is Reys father or uncle or family, It wouldn't make sense, we don't know any other family that would be alive at the time.

As much as I'd like to stay on the Star Wars train, I think I've gotta make a return trip back to the EU content. So far nothing Disney's done has been able to grab me in the same way the EU and the original movies could. It just feels soulless and bland now, charmless.

I hope y'all enjoy the movie and that it fills in some of the holes episode seven left open, let me know how it turns out! Perhaps it's not too late to turn things around yet?
