Student Vs Teacher, V.2? New Star Wars: The Last Jedi Footage Teases A Showdown!
Hello nerds!
The Star Wars Twitter debuted another trailer for The Last Jedi, and while it's actually pretty heavy on new footage, the most puzzling bit comes in the form of a potential Luke vs Rey fight. "Holy shit!", indeed.
I know the brief tease of a Rey and Luke battle royale is likely nothing more than a ruse, but damn. How long into the film before Luke to begin to trust his padawan? Personally, I think it's more of a "youngster talking some shit to the old gunslinger to get him to prove to himself that he can still jedi" moment than it is a rehash of Kenobi vs Vader, especially given the precarious position our oldest living jedi is in during the footage. I don't see Rey as the "strike them down" type.
Elsewhere in the trailer, we get some awesome looks at Finn flying and his smackdown with Captain Phasma, Poe staring out of a window, Kylo Ren throwing a tantrum and Luke's return to the Millennium Falcon. Ah, Star Wars...
Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits theaters on December 14th in the UK and December 15th in the US.
