- (gasping) No!
- Those are the most classic scenes, right, when Luke's becoming a Jedi.
♪ (industrial music) ♪
- (gasping softly)
Oh my god, is this that new Star Wars trailer?
I haven't seen this!
- You guys!
(gasping)
- Oh my god, I'm so [bleep] stoked.
- (Snoke) When I found you... - What is this?
Star Wars.
- (Snoke) ...I saw raw untamed power.
- Who is that talking?
That's what I keep on wondering.
- (Snoke) And beyond that... - (gasping)
Is this Star Wars? Whoa!
- (Snoke) ...something truly special.
(light saber humming) - Dude!
(light saber humming) - Oh my god.
Rey.
(light saber humming) - That's it!
Give a lady a light saber, that's all I have to say.
- I haven't seen this yet. I'm so excited.
- Let's do it, baby.
♪ (dramatic orchestral music) ♪
- I just want to see this.
- (Rey) Something inside of me...
- I have so many speculations about who Rey's parents are.
- The Force is so strong in her!
Look at that.
- Ho-ho-ho-ho!
Ha! I got chills.
- Oh my god, Rey's a beast.
- (Luke) I've seen this raw strength only once before.
- (voice quivering) Oh. Oh... he senses the power.
- (Luke) It didn't scare me enough then.
- Yeah.
Luke Skywalker.
- (Luke) It does now. - Oh my god!
- (Kylo Ren) Let the past die.
- It's gonna be so good.
- (Kylo Ren) Kill it... - He is so hotly evil.
- (Kylo Ren) ...if you have to.
- Aww, Carrie Fisher.
- Oh god, you guys, Princess Leia.
- (Kylo Ren) That's the only way to become
who you were meant to be.
- Okay, what's that stuff on Kylo Ren's face?
That's what I keep wondering.
- He's gonna shoot his mom?
- Don't disappoint your mother.
- (Chewbacca roaring) - Chewie.
Is that a porg? Is that what they're called?
(porg squeaking) - Who's that?
(laughing) He's so cute.
- (Poe) ...that will light the fire that will burn the First Order down.
- This is gonna be amazing.
- Hopefully, Phasma's way meaner in this one.
- We get to see Captain Phasma do something?
No way! (laughing) Yeah.
Whatever that is, I need five.
- (Luke) This is not going to go...
- I don't know what that is.
- (Luke) ...the way you think.
- Oh, Luke. Such a naysayer.
- (Snoke) Fulfill... - Oh, this seems good.
- I'm not even a Star Wars fan, but this looks really good.
- (Snoke) ...your destiny.
- Okay, so Snoke actually is real?
- (Rey) I need someone to show me my place in all this.
- No, not him.
- (Rey) ...me my place in all this.
- (gasping softly)
No!
- Oh my god!
- No, don't go to the dark side.
- Dude!
That score by John Williams is still the best.
- I am so thrilled! That was so cool.
- It's so amazing. I'm so excited.
The thing that this trailer did right is they gave enough information
where I'm super freaking hyped, but they didn't spoil anything.
Have you guys pre-ordered your tickets because I already did.
- (FBE) So that was the trailer for the new Star Wars film,
Star Wars: The Last Jedi. - Yes, yes, that was.
- I'm so excited. It was so good.
- (FBE) How big of a Star Wars fan are you?
- Well, I'm not that big of a fan.
- I am not a Star Wars fan at all.
- I know a decent amount.
I'm not a die-hard, dress up like them for Halloween,
but I do enjoy watching them.
- I probably saw the original one, which was number four to you guys,
ten times in movie theatres.
- I love Star Wars. I'm a huge fan.
I've watched Clone Wars, Rebels, pretty much anything
I can get my hands on, including the Christmas special,
which you have to be a hard core fan if you're gonna sit
through that piece of crap.
- (FBE) So whenever a Star Wars trailer is released,
fans band together and start analyzing the trailer for Easter eggs,
and start to come up with their own theories for the plot.
Now we're gonna show you some Easter eggs
from the trailer and get your thoughts.
- Okay.
- (FBE) Here we see an updated version of the AT-ATs
that were found way back in Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back.
- Yes, I remember them from the old movie.
- There's familiarity-- I'm familiar with this.
Give me something new.
- The first thing I noticed was those new shin guards
they've got going on, those spikes.
- There's little spikes right there, so it can cut string.
So wow, okay.
They learned a little bit.
They're like, "Okay, we're not gonna just put strings."
They're learning from their mistakes.
- (FBE) What do you think of the differences?
- This look old as heck.
It look like the first dinosaurs.
- Today's, almost oddly enough for me, look a little older.
- These look more realistic than the new ones.
- When they first did it, I mean, they really got that
technology really good, you know?
It was amazing, seeing those for the first time,
trudging through the snow.
- (FBE) Throughout the trailer, we see Rey training
with Luke Skywalker-- - Yes!
It's gonna be so good.
- (FBE) And many are comparing these scenes
to Episode V - The Empire Strike Back, where Luke is being trained by Yoda.
- Oh, look at Yoda. He looks so cute.
- He's become the mentor now.
It's like the student becomes the teacher.
- Those are the most classic scenes, right, when Luke's becoming a Jedi.
- They're kind of trying to bring people back into the past
and wanting people to be like, "Oh my god, this is so similar,"
and kind of putting people in the feels.
- There was a huge backlash after Force Awakens came out
because they were saying, "Oh, we basically got New Hope retold."
It was different enough and new enough that it still kept my attention
and it's got some really compelling characters.
- (FBE) Then there's our first good look
at antagonist Supreme Leader Snoke, wearing some sort of golden robe.
- Oh, is that who this is?
- And looking very Golem-esque.
- I have this theory, and I know it's not gonna be correct,
that Snoke is just this tall.
- (FBE) Then then in the next image, we see Rey being tortured...
- Oh! The gold robe. - (FBE) ...in the background.
This has flashes of the Emperor and Luke,
and then, okay, who's gonna step in because Darth Vader stepped in.
- This could mean that he's doing the same thing
that Palpatine did to Anakin.
He sees that they have this immense power,
but they're conflicted.
- I would've never noticed that, but, you know,
fandom is fandom, right, so people just get completely obsessed.
- (FBE) And perhaps the biggest news from the trailer comes
right at the end, where Kylo seems to be
reaching out to Rey in response for her asking for guidance.
- Yeah, I mean, something must happen with her
where she's really stressed and doesn't know
where she belongs.
- What's she thinking?
I mean, has Luke turned her completely away
to the point where now she's pushed towards Kylo Ren?
He killed Han Solo, his dad.
- (FBE) So fans have already pointed out
that this could be a misdirection due to maybe some clever editing
of the trailer.
- I mean, having those two aligned, it's suspicious.
It doesn't make sense.
- I'm hoping it is, or I'm hoping there's some
sort of other motive if Rey is.
- He went dark so quickly, and seemed to be this fan boy
of the dark side.
I would not be surprised if he starts to come back
towards the light side if he and Rey do a switcheroo.
- I'm not sure because the way he's holding his hand out,
it kind of lends to the fact where it's like,
"No, come with me. I'll show you the way."
Ugh, it's so stressful, this whole time.
- (FBE) So following the success of The Force Awakens,
Star Wars returns with Episode VIII - The Last Jedi.
- Yeah.
- I remember the last ending, when they left off with Luke Skywalker
and we want to know what happens next.
- It's scary because it infers that Luke or Rey are gonna die,
or go to the dark side.
- I know that it's plural.
It's plural, so I'm guessing it's gonna talk about
probably Luke, obviously, and maybe Rey?
- (FBE) Whenever a trailer or news for Star Wars drops,
it becomes a huge cultural event that is almost inescapable.
Why does Star Wars have this type of impact?
- I think because it's something new.
They changed it up.
I mean, now they have a brother plan,
their main thing, so that was a big difference
in the beginning.
- It's kind of become just this thing where people can get together
and really enjoy it and talk about it with each other
and just feel connected.
- Everyone watches them, mostly everyone,
and everyone knows what's going on and is so excited for the next one.
It's like a universal communal movie.
- Now you've got my age group that grew up as kids with this.
You know, I remember going seeing Return of the Jedi
in theatres, and now we have kids of our own,
and so it's trying to pass down that nostalgia of,
okay, this was my childhood, and it can be your childhood too.
- It is the ultimate best story ever told,
the ultimate good versus evil, and it's spanned now
how many decades, like 40 years or something?
It's like every generation has a finger in this.
(clang!) (ding)
- (FBE) The trailer heavily features Mark Hamill
as he once again reprises his role of Luke Skywalker,
after starring in the original trilogy over 30 years ago.
What do you think about the fact that they've brought back
the original actors to reprise their roles,
and connect them to a brand new generation
of characters and fans?
- I think it's awesome.
It's that whole bringing worlds together that Marvel has done so well.
- It's like bringing the old fans back into it,
but also introducing new fans into the old-school characters.
- I love it and it's been almost like a passing down of the torch.
It's really sad that I know it's only limited
and, you know, this is obviously Carrie Fisher's last film,
you know, her last involvement in Star Wars,
which is extremely heartbreaking.
- Carrie Fisher really was a badass, and it's sad.
I have no doubt that they're going to pay giant respects
to her in the movie.
- (FBE) So finally, with the new Star Wars film
coming out in December, are you going to be
one of the first people there, or someone who will see it
at some point, or just someone that will pass on it altogether?
- I'm gonna pass.
I really don't want to spend my money on that.
- I'm gonna be there on opening night.
- I'll see it sometime between Christmas and New Years.
- First in line!
I can't wait.
- It's not gonna be the first day, I'm fighting and trying to get there.
I'll probably see it a week later, when the crowds
sort of dies down a little bit.
- Considering I pre-ordered my tickets,
I'm going to be one of the first ones.
- I'm gonna see it at some point.
When it goes to the $1.50 show.
- I'll absolutely be one of those people
that have pre-ordered tickets with assigned seating
so I don't have to stand in line.
Mostly because I live on social media,
and if I see a spoiler, I'll be very sad.
- We usually wait until the crowds have died down,
a week or so, and then we go on winter break
and we make a full day out of it.
It's just our hang out time.
I would never pass on it.
Are you kidding?!
I would never pass on Star Wars!
