So you’ve seen the pants-wettingly good new trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and you’re probably wondering what all of it means. Well, luckily for you, we spent plenty of time reading Star Wars tie-in novels and visual guides (and also getting plenty of wedgies) in our youth and are here to break it down for you.
Here’s a slideshow of all of the important stuff we’ve gleaned from a scant two minutes of footage, and there’s a lot of it! Jump down to the bottom to revisit the teaser trailer and its very-cool poster.
We begin this trailer with a mild jump scare, this time involving Rey instead of Finn (who famously popped up into the frame in the first teaser for Force Awakens), presumably during her “Jedi” training with Luke on Ahch-To. It’s a fun call-back to the first footage we ever saw from the new trilogy, and hopefully will be in the final cut, unlike the Finn shot. The Verge notes that it looks like a starscape at the start, and that’s a pretty cool detail.
