‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’: What Luke’s New Look Reveals About His Destiny
  • September 19, 2017
There has been plenty of new information floating around the internet relating to Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Disney has released the original teaser trailer and, more recently, a sizzle reel that has given us an inside look at the making of the movie with director Rian Johnson, as well as a few teases of new things to come — Porgs!

Prominent YouTuber Mike Zeroh puts out a ton of great Star Wars content if you’re interested in inside information and spoilers for the upcoming movie. Zeroh pulls from inside sources as well as the website Making Star Wars to keep fans updated on current rumors. We took a look at some of his recent videos and what they may reveal as we get closer to the release of The Last Jedi. Spoilers ahead, you have been warned!

We could read into Luke’s outfit all we want, and how black is traditionally worn by characters that use the dark side of the Force or are leaning toward the dark side — Darth Vader, the Emperor, Darth Maul, and Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith are great examples. Is Luke Skywalker leaning toward the dark side, or is he merely embracing a larger view of the Force? It’s fun to speculate about it, for now.

Darth Vader references

Darth Vader appeared as a quasi-unspoken background character in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, with Kylo Ren speaking to his melted helmet and dealing with the frustrations of trying to live up to his grandfather’s reputation as a brutal leader. According to Zeroh, the references to Vader will be ramped up in The Last Jedi.

In one example, Vice Admiral Holdo (played by Laura Dern) mocks General Leia for her relation to Vader and how it may have turned her own son against her. Later, Snoke and Ren will discuss Vader while Luke and Rey also have a conversation about the former Sith Lord. Although the character of Darth Vader won’t appear, we will get plenty of references to him and probably even see a few Vader artifacts, like with his helmet in The Force Awakens.



Anakin will return

Even though we won’t see the return of Darth Vader, one thing we have learned is that Anakin Skywalker will return. Zeroh explains that actor Hayden Christensen was rumored to have visited Pinewood Studios to record lines for the film about six months ago and that his character will make its first appearance in Star Wars since being put inside the iconic black suit at the end of Revenge of the Sith.

But here is the kicker: Apparently, Anakin will only appear as a voice, not in his physical form. Zeroh also mentions that Obi-Wan Kenobi, long rumored to appear in The Last Jedi, will also be merely a voice without a physical appearance. While somewhat disappointing, it’s understandable why Disney might lean this way. For Kenobi, having Ewan McGregor attempt to do an Alec Guinness impression makes little sense. Going the CGI route, as they did with Grand Moff Tarkin in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, would also be a mistake.

As for Anakin, we aren’t exactly sure what the reasoning is behind not having him seen on screen. It could be Disney’s continued uneasiness with tying their new trilogy to anything relating to the prequels, or it could simply be that they were uncomfortable with Christensen’s on-screen acting — something that he was criticized for in his two previous movies.



Flashback sequences

Zeroh has learned that there will be flashback sequences, referred to as Forceback visions (like the one Rey experienced in The Force Awakenswhen holding Anakin’s lightsaber). Rey experiences a vision where we will see her parents leaving her on Jakku, and later from her point of view as Kylo Ren murders the students at Luke’s Jedi Academy. Luke will also have a vision, where he sees moments from his past.

But the most interesting rumored vision is that of Ren, who will be in his own private quarters with the Vader helmet much like we saw in The Force Awakens. This Forceback vision will relate to his father, Han Solo, who is not seen in any new footage but is heard speaking. We’ll get a young Ben Solo learning to fly the Millennium Falcon with his father, and later seeing the moment that he murdered Han on Starkiller Base. This vision supposedly is what will cause Kylo to destroy his helmet in a fit of rage.



More plot details
What could be going through Ren’s mind in this scene? | LucasFilm via YouTube

In a Yahoo! Movies Exclusive, new details are confirmed for the plot of The Last Jedi. In the video, Zeroh looks at a previously unseen imageof Rey standing on the island of Ahch-To holding a bow staff as well as the description given. It reads:

“Is it really time for the Jedi to end? That’s the main question going into Episode VIII as Rey meets a reluctant Luke; Kylo and Snoke plot revenge; Finn and Poe embark on new adventures … and we prepare to bid a teary farewell to Princess Leia.”

None of this is tremendously surprising. We could sense from the tone of the teaser trailer and interviews with Hamill that Luke Skywalker is not exactly thrilled to be getting involved with Rey, the Resistance, or any of this. What is especially interesting is the note about Leia, who was originally slated to survive the movie. The plans for the character have changed with the passing of iconic actress Carrie Fisher, and this gives us a little clue about how Star Wars may have chosen to close out Leia’s storyline.



Luke Skywalker’s regrets
Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: The Force Awakens | LucasFilm

What we know coming in about Luke is that his nephew (Kylo Ren) turned on him and murdered the rest of his Jedi pupils. Having a character turn to the dark side and wipe out the Jedi isn’t exactly a new storyline for Star Wars, and Luke returning to the original Jedi temple sets us up for some possibly big new information. What does Luke see or learn on Ahch-To that makes him think that it’s time for the Jedi to end?

Zeroh’s speculation here is that Luke will have learned where the Jedi, as he knows of them from learning under Obi-Wan and Yoda, will have gone away from their original teachings — leading to arrogance, ignorance of the dark side of the Force, and ultimately their own failure. When he says that it’s time for the Jedi to end, there’s a great chance that Luke means the order of the Jedi as Yoda and Kenobi knew of it.



More on Benicio Del Toro’s character

Rian Johnson has kept information about Benicio Del Toro’s character, simply referred to as DJ, close to the vest. But Zeroh has some new detailsthat he revealed in a recent video, and it gives us a little insight into what is happening with Finn in the movie as well. Apparently, DJ is being held prisoner in the casino city of Canto Bight. Finn and Kelly Marie Tran’s character Rose get themselves caught and imprisoned for the purposes of breaking DJ out.

Other information about DJ includes that the outfit he is seen wearing in many of the official photos was given to him by the Resistance, his ship is from before the time of the prequel trilogy, and it may or may not have been stolen. The fact that they have been so secretive about Del Toro’s character has led to a ton of speculation, but it appears that there may not be some massive, jaw-dropping reveal. He may just be a new character that has a lot to do with the plot of The Last Jedi.

NEW STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI TRAILER ISN’T FOR THE SPOILER-SENSITIVE

last-jedi-poster-header.jpg


It’s rare for the director of a major Hollywood blockbuster to tell fans to avoid the trailer for his/her latest franchise film. However, Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson has advised fans to steer clear of tonight’s impending trailer for the upcoming eighth chapter in the Star Wars saga — specifically those who are sensitive to
On Twitter, a fan asked Johnson if his earlier sentiments about avoiding “everything until TLJ comes out” included the new trailer. To his credit, the director was quite frank with the fan, stating that they should avoid it if they want to come into the film completely clean, although he did end his tweet on a tantalizing note
.


Rian Johnson

✔@rianjohnson

I a legitimately torn. If you want to come in clean, absolutely avoid it.

But it’s gooooood..... https://twitter.com/nieka_h/status/917005841194041344 …

11:30 AM - Oct 8, 2017

The new trailer, which is set to premiere tonight on ESPN during Monday Night Football, will reportedly be followed by tickets for The Last Jedi going on sale. AMC and Regal Cinemas have apparently already prepared their systems for ticket purchases, and although this hasn’t been confirmed by Disney or Lucasfilm, it wouldn’t be the first time a Star Wars trailer debuted during Monday Night Football followed by the launch of ticket sales: A trailer for The Force Awakens aired in 2015 during a game between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles. Tickets went on sale immediately afterward, resulting in AMC selling out 1,000 screenings nationwide in the next 12 hours. Likewise, movie ticketing website Fandango reported a 700 percent surge in its typical peak traffic levels, and 95 percent of the tickets sold on MovieTickets.com in the 24 hours following the release of the trailer were for The Force Awakens. That caused several movie ticketing sites to experience delays and outages, so fans looking to score tickets for The Last Jedi should plan accordingly.
 
Star Wars: Stormtroopers Set to Invade the Field on Monday Night Football


by Patrick Cavanaugh | October 9, 2017

Disney and Lucasfilm appear to be pulling out all the stops when it comes to reminding the world that The Last Jedi is a movie that's coming to theaters by debuting an all-new trailer for the film during halftime of tonight's Monday Night Football event. In addition to airing the trailer for the first time, it appears as though fans in attendance will be a part of the memorable evening, as early images have shown that First Order Stormtroopers are preparing to take the field for the occasion.
occasion.







Tonight's match will see the Minnesota Vikings face off against the Chicago Bears.
 
why Luke got the medicaid hand all of a sudden? They gave him a very good one at the end of Empire. He loose his hand again?
Pretty sure the fake skin is burned off when his Jedi Order temple is set on fire.

DOPE trailer. Didn't show much, but showed enough....I think there's a double swerve....watching this makes people think Kylo will turn to the light to save Rey, but I think something more sinister is at hand.
