After months of anticipation and a lot of expectation riding into the "Star Wars Celebration" held at Orlando this year, Disney and LucasFilm have finally released the long awaited first trailer to "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" - the eight installment in the numerical Star Wars films saga and the second part of the "New Trilogy" that started with 2015's "The Force Awakens" and under Walt Disney Pictures' watch.

Debuting during "The Last Jedi" panel discussion held on SWCO on Good Friday, a theatrical poster was also released showing Daisy Ridley's Rey holding her lightsaber high and bright, with the faces of Mark Hamill's Luke Skywalker and Adam Driver's Kylo Ren seen on the red background sky. Naturally, the story picks up right after the end of Episode VII, and Rey is training with the now found Jedi Master Luke Skywalker - who has isolated himself in a far off planet. As for the other characters, Finn, Kylo Ren, and Poe Dameron are also seen in snippets of footage that make up the trailer, showing that this will be a darker sequel and a question mark for the future of the Jedi.
