Top 10 Star Wars The Last Jedi Predictions With the success of The Force Awakens, it
shouldn’t be much of a surprise that fans old and new are getting hyped about The Last
Jedi.
So today we’re taking a look at some of the predictions fans and critics alike have
made for what The Last Jedi may entail.
While this list is specifically pertaining to predictions rather than theories, since
many predictions are loosely based on theories there may be a little speculation slipping
into some of our numbers.
So with that in mind, let’s jump into our list of the top 10 Star Wars The Last Jedi
Predictions!
Also, heads up – spoiler alert if you haven’t seen The Force Awakens.
You should probably go do that.
Then come back and watch this video.
10 Captain Phasma Lets start off this list with one prediction
that is definitely a given – more Captain Phasma!
We barely got any of Phasma in the last film, and with Phasma having her own comic series
and origin novel, there’s no doubt that we’ll FINALLY get more of the character
portrayed by Gwedoline Christie.
9 More on Rey’s Parentage Daisy Ridley has stated that she thought the
The Force Awakens had made it clear what he origin story was; whether that statement means
that her origin is what it is – with her parents being unknown characters who abandoned
her, and she just so happens to be Force sensitive – or that the film made it inexplicably
obvious that her parent or parents are characters featured within it, well, we may not know
until The Last Jedi.
Or, the sequel after that.
8 The Poe and Finn Bromance Moving on to two other new characters introduced
in the last film!
Poe and Finn quickly became fan favourites, with some even speculating that the duo’s
chemistry would lead to the franchises first lgbtq relationship; a theory that was squashed
recently by Lucasfilm.
Despite that theory being disproven, it’s without a doubt that Poe and Finn will end
up having side stories of their own while Rey is hanging out with Luke.
Many have speculated that their storylines will be combined.
7 Familiar Faces One of the biggest – and most plausible
– predictions for The Last Jedi is that we’ll see more familiar faces return to
the film.
Considering how many were packed into the last film despite the addition of many new
characters, it seems likely that this film would slip in a few more.
Popular theories for this include Lando Calrissian, Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Unpopular theory – Jar Jar Binks, revealed as Supreme Leader Snoke/he created Snoke.
Yes, those are actually theories.
6 Porgs What are Porgs?
Where do they come from?
What are they like?
Do they have a naturally predator that violently eats them?
Does Chewie eat one?
All this and more might be answered in The Last Jedi.
Apparently they’re better than ewoks, and I’m already emotionally invested, so they
better not suck.
Also, worth noting that this is what their babies look like.
So, that’s unfortunate.
5 Snoke’s Identity One of the biggest questions we were left
with from The Force Awakens was who the hell is Supreme Leader Snoke?
Snoke is the one responsible for bringing Kylo Ren over to the dark side, and with his
heavily deformed face, fans have been filled with speculations as to who this mysterious,
malicious figure is, and even more speculations on whether or not he’s actually evil.
There’s also some pretty convincing arguments for Snoke being Boba Fett and Mace Windu.
But theories aside, one thing is certain – whether he’s a red herring for the true villain
of the trilogy or he’s a character that will stir up more trouble, Snoke will return
for The Last Jedi, and fans will gain better insight on what his deal is.
4 Princess Leia’s Death In the Force Awakens, we all watched on in
horror as Kylo Ren aka Ben Solo killed his own father, Han Solo.
It was revealed that Ben was the son of Han and Princess Leia.
And while Carrie Fisher reprises her role in the next film, due to her unfortunate passing,
it’s likely that Ben will lose another parent in this film.
It’s also been confirmed by Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy that we won’t be seeing
Leia in the final instalment of this trilogy, Episode IX, meaning the possibility of the
character dying is quite high.
3 A Huge Reveal Mark Hamill is typically pretty vocal on Twitter.
Not only did he start the hashtag #WaitForVIII, but Hamill has been quite adamant on fans
remaining spoiler free.
Because The Last Jedi contains a rumoured big reveal.
So what’s that reveal?
Some think it has to do with Rey’s lineage, others suspect it may have to do with next
number.
2 What’s Up with Luke?
Another question that The Force Awakens set up but we’ll surely get an answer for is
what Luke has been up to the past several years, and why he’s in exile.
One theory explores the idea that Luke is actually the true villain of this trilogy;
something Mark Hamill has wanted for some time.
Mark Hamill has even stated that he was at odds with director Rian Johnson, saying that
he (Hamill) was really wrong about The Force Awakens.
There’s even been hints to Luke joining the Dark Side in promotional material.
Regardless, by the end of the film, we’ll have a better idea of what Luke has been up
to, where he stands, and likely, how his training and wisdom will impact Rey.
And likely more on Luke’s Jedi Academy.
1 1 The Last Jedi, literally The titles of the Star Wars films are typically
straight forward and literal.
Meaning we can expect The Last Jedi to revolve around specifically that.
The first trailer also revealed Luke saying “It’s time for the Jedi to end”.
Fans have speculated this can mean a lot of things, but one prediction, combined with
the likes of Luke being featured on both the light and dark side in marketing materials,
has steered many to believe that the Grey Jedi will be introduced into the story.
The Grey Jedi are part of the Old Republic Legends mythos, in which force wielders balance
themselves on the line between dark and light.
Regardless of whether the last jedi could be a direct reference to Luke being the last
of his kind, or him actively putting an end to the Jedi in favour of a new school of thought,
this film will give us answers about what to expect for future generations of Force
wielders.
