Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer breakdown: All the secrets you need to know

Finally, the trailer uses misdirection once again by making the viewer believe Rey is reaching out to Kylo Ren. And it’s an easy thing to believe, as she is clearly vulnerable, while he has a growing influence because of his training. He also tried to recruit her in The Force Awakens, so there’s precedent.

But the truth is she’s probably talking to Luke about finding her place in the galaxy.

It’s interesting to see the contrast between this trailer and the official teaser released several months ago. In that one, Luke ruminated on ending the Jedi and potentially creating something else entirely. The new trailer would have us believe Luke is a scared old man who is terrified of who he helped create in Kylo Ren.

With Rey suddenly showing up on his doorstep, he doesn’t want to repeat that same mistake. While he agrees to train her, her Force sensitivity scares him, which could lead to all kinds of trouble down the road. The trailer is cut in such a way that suggests Rey might be tempted by the Dark Side, and she very well may be, but I don’t think she’ll end up like Kylo Ren.

In fact, I think there’s a better possibility the opposite might happen; Kylo Ren might redeem himself in a big way and turn against Snoke. However, that rings too close to what Vader did with Emperor Palpatine, so who knows. At the very least, hopefully we don’t get a “twist” where Snoke says he’s Rey’s father.

Which is still a huge mystery in the Star Wars universe. In The Force Awakens, we see her get dropped off on Jakku, but don’t see who dropped her off. We’re expecting to learn more about her backstory in The Last Jedi, but we may not get all the answers we’re after until Episode IX.

Check out the trailer above and let us know if you spotted anything of significance. Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits theaters on December 15.
