Thevery first trailerforStar Wars: The Last Jedihit the interwebs this morning, giving us our first look at the highly anticipated sequel. Given the level of interest in this particular film, we’ve gone through and taken some screengrabs of some of the more fascinating shots from the trailer and assembled them here into one nifty post. It’s clear that writer/directorRian Johnsonand his longtime cinematographerSteve Yedlinhave captured some truly evocative imagery throughout the film, as evidenced by the screengrabs. This is Johnson working on his biggest canvas yet, and if I’m being honest, one of the most exciting aspects ofThe Last Jediis seeing what kind of frames and footage he’s able to capture with all of these different tools at his disposal.
These images also give us some hints as to what we’ll find story-wise insideThe Last Jedi. Thatstunning teaser posterdoesn’t just look cool—we can clearly see someone poring over a book of some sort that has the same flash of light pointing upwards. Is this something in Luke’s possession during his exile? Does it hold the secret to why he disappeared or how the First Order can be stopped?
We also get a closer look at returning fan-favorites likeJohn Boyega’s Finn andOscar Isaac’s Poe Dameron. We learned during theLast Jedipanel that Finn is paired up with a new character named Rose, played byKelly Marie Tran, for much of the film, but here we see Finn still appears to be in recovery from his injuries suffered at the end ofThe Force Awakens. Poe, meanwhile, is still buddy-buddy with BB-8.
