It was a given that Rian Johnson would make Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) more of a bad ass in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. He was a hero that was supposed to be dead, but J.J. Abrams spared his life in The Force Awakens. In the final stages of marketing Disney is unleashing for The Last Jedi, its mostly all about Poe. Poe will bring the hurt back to the Rebellion, and these short clips prove why he is the best pilot in the universe.
Spoiler territory, if you didn’t already think that Poe Dameron was a complete boss at flying an X-Wing.
Check out the television spots below:
Here is another spot with some new Rey and Finn footage buried inside.
The next TV spot gives us a brief moment from Finn, but is all Poe.
The last TV spot is just the trailer recut, but it does feature a few new moments.
There still isn’t a synopsis of the film, as much of The Last Jedi’s plot is surrounded in mystery. Contain your excitement, because it is only a month away! The clock is ticking down, and the mystery won’t last much longer. There is sure to be much more material hitting the internet and television over the next month, and they should begin to shed light on the plot a bit more.
Mark Hamill recently shed some light on the inner turmoil facing Luke Skywalker:
In Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Luke has lost confidence in his ability to make good choices. It haunts him to the core. But he hasn’t gone to the dark side. This isn’t an evil version of him. But it’s still an incarnation of the character I never expected. It has pulled me out of my comfort zone. It’s a real challenge.
The wait is almost over.
In ‘The Last Jedi’ The First Order is regrouping after the destruction of their star system weapon Starkiller Base, poised to strike back at the heart of the Rebellion. Smoke completes Kylo Ren’s training in the Dark Side of the Force, while Rey begins her Jedi training with famous Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. But will her abilities in the Force and power potential be too much for the aging Jedi to bear? Will he refuse to complete Rey’s training for fear of what she may become?
Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits theaters on December 15.
