7. Back to the past
In the trailer, a hooded Luke and R2-D2 look on as a building burns out in the distance, destroyed by Captain Phasma (we think) and a gang of First Order Stormtroopers. In the event that that seems well-known to you, there’s a reason: we’ve seen this scene earlier on too.
As it is, when Rey touches Luke’s lightsaber initially, she has a “Force Vision.” This shows her both the past and what’s to come. In one shot, Luke puts his gloved hand on R2-D2 while blazes seethe in the backdrop. From the way the new film is introduced, it would seem that we’re seeing a similar scene from an alternate angle. That is not the only connection between Rey’s vision and The Last Jedi’s trailer, either. Amid the flashback, as Luke touches his trusty droid, you can hear Yoda say, “Its energy surrounds us and binds us.” Now this is a line that is rehashed in The Last Jedi’s trailer.
In the event that that is insufficient proof for you, the scene was additionally highlighted on a special IMAX-exclusive The Force Awakens poster. Obviously, the burning building marks a crucial minute in Luke Skywalker’s history (the hypothesis is that it’s the minute when Luke’s new Jedi school is destroyed theory), and it’s something that Lucasfilm has been setting up for a long time. Ideally, we’ll get to know a lot more before The Last Jedi makes its debut.
8. The Jedi’s Journal
Amid the trailer, somebody runs their hands over a dried, beat-up book. We aren’t aware what that book is, but fans have one huge guess; the old tome may be the Journal of the Whills, a thing that has been a piece of Star Wars legend since the very beginning.
All things considered, the Journal is a book that archives the Jedi’s old history. Furthermore, the book highlighted in the trailer is unmistakably decorated with the Jedi Order’s insignia. In addition to this, Disney and Lucasfilm have been prodding the Journal of the Whills for quite a long time. Alan Dean Foster’s prose adaptation of Star Wars starts with a concise narration of the Emperor’s ascent to power, which is credited to the Journal. The Force Awakens’ novelization opens with a quote from The Journal too (one that adds some belief to those Gray Jedi hypotheses). The Temple of the Whills on Jedha assumes a noteworthy part in Rogue One, and so do two of its Guardians, Chirrut Îmwe and Baze Malbus, who are getting their very own spin-off novel.
The Whills has been getting a ton of attention ever since Disney began its new Star Wars adventure, and it’s difficult to envision this isn’t prompting something. Provided that this is true, it’d be the zenith of a plot line more than 40 years in the making. When George Lucas sat down to compose Star Wars, he called it “The Journal of the Whills,” despite the fact that it didn’t last for long. Still, the Journal persevered. Early drafts of the Star Wars screenplay utilized entries from the Journal of the Whills rather than an opening crawl to set up the story. Furthermore, Lucas says that, initially, A New Hope was to be a story in the journal, which was being “told” to the viewers by means of an unknown storyteller.
