The Last Jedi is coming soon, but there’s a lot more to learn
You’ve probably heard about the film’s villain, Kylo Ren.
Or maybe you’re curious about the new characters.
But in the months leading up to the release of The Last Knight, Disney announced a slew of new characters, locations and plotlines, including a mysterious, blue lightsaber that you can use to fight Rey and Han Solo’s new ship.
The company even revealed a new character called “the Last Jedi” — the first of what will be a growing number of Disney movies featuring Rey, Luke and Kylo.
Now, though, it’s getting a little more specific.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Disney Studios President Jim Chory is sharing a few more details about what you can expect from The Last Jedi, which he hopes will arrive on March 15, 2019.
Here’s what he had to say: “We’re bringing in the first two movies this year that are going to really kick off the story.
We’re bringing them together and saying, ‘Let’s make a trilogy, let’s get to the end.’
We’re going to give you the chance to watch the first movie together and see what happens.”
This sounds great, but what happens in The Last Journey is going to be pretty significant.
It will begin with Rey getting her lightsaber and beginning to unravel her identity.
“The first movie is really going to introduce a lot of new stuff to the franchise, including new characters,” Chory said.
“I think the movie that’s going to end up being the one to get you the most is the second movie.
That movie is going at least five years, maybe even six years, into the future.”
What the two-film series is telling you in terms of plotlines and characters is that Rey is not Luke Skywalker — a story Chory mentioned earlier — but rather a young woman who is a Jedi.
“There are a lot less characters in the movie than there are in the book,” Chary said.
The Last Starfighter, the upcoming Star Wars: The Last Guard movie, also has a number of new actors and new locations to explore, so you’re not going to see the same cast of characters in The Force Awakens.
You’re going see a whole new set of characters.
“We don’t want to create a new trilogy in TheForce Awakens, but we are bringing in a lot,” Chry said.
I can’t wait to see what these new characters do.
