Kylo Ren’s lightsaber
Unlike other lightsabers in the Star Wars series, Kylo Ren’s appears to be unique in appearance and design. This has prompted speculation ever since the first trailer for The Force Awakens aired. Some theories point to its dual-bladed design, the presence of crystals, and a unique housing design. We’ll likely have to wait until the movie premiere in order to find out if the saber is unique in design or function.
This lightsaber is unique in design and looks far superior to anything we’ve seen before, but it’s also tied to an immature bravado. It’s constructed by Kylo himself, and is a tribute to the iconic Darth Vader. But that’s not the only thing that’s different about this lightsaber. Rey’s mask is missing as well, and the helmet isn’t a recognizable piece of costume, either.
Maz Kanata’s return
Star Wars: Episode VIII will be the eighth installment in the saga and the latest trailer debuted on Wednesday during the World Series. While we have a few months until the premiere of the movie, we can expect to see our favorite characters in action. The trailer has a sad tone to it, which could be a hint of how much the film will touch us emotionally. It will be interesting to see how the movie will change the way we view these beloved characters.
The trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi was released earlier this week, but there is still no official confirmation from Disney. Fans have been waiting patiently for more information on the film. They hope that the trailer will feature more footage from the movie. Fans have been clamoring for a more substantial trailer, and this may be the one that satisfies their thirst for information. In addition, the filming of The Last Jedi was completed several months before Fisher’s death, so there’s still no official release date for the trailer.
Benicio Del Toro
Benicio Del Toro’s character DJ is introduced in the new trailer for Star Wars: Episode VIII. The character is a DJ on a ship of the First Order. He is a master codebreaker and will face off with his former boss, Captain Phasma. His character also has a DJ, named DJ. While the trailer has no plot details, it does hint that the character will be a bit of a cynic.
In addition to playing the mysterious Talon Karrde, the trailer also introduces new images from the film. The trailer also introduces John Boyega as Finn. Episode VIII is scheduled for release on December 15, 2017.
BB-8’s appearance
The trailer has made us curious as to what this new droid is. BB-8 is the next generation of plucky droids in the Star Wars universe. First seen rolling across the screen in “The Force Awakens,” the droid has a childlike personality, including a central eye. It also has an antenna that points forward like the English Pointer. While not actually in the film, BB-8’s appearance in “The Rise of Skywalker” trailer was a sign that the character may have some important message for us to remember.
In Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, BB-8 is an astromech droid that was given to Resistance X-wing fighter pilot Poe Dameron. Poe eventually entrusts BB-8 with a map to the Resistance headquarters, so he can determine the location of the Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker. When the droid realizes that Luke is missing, he flees to the planet Jakku where he meets the scavenger Rey. They eventually find sanctuary with BB-8 and eventually bring him to Resistance leader Leia Organa.
Maz Kanata’s origin story
It has been months since the teaser was released for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. While the teaser was intended to entice fans, they have been longing for a full-length trailer. Disney has yet to announce when a Star Wars Episode VIII trailer will be released. Here are a few possible dates. In the meantime, we’ll wait and see. Here’s hoping we can get a look at The Last Jedi trailer before its release.
On the first day, the tweet was deleted, but Star Wars Newsnet caught it before it was deleted. If the tweet is accurate, Disney may be teasing Monday Night Football because they own the network. They’ll be giving people another reason to tune in. In the meantime, fans should get ready for the next Star Wars trailer. But what do we know so far? Listed below are a few details about the film.
