What I can tell you about the next Star Wars film is I think Rian does an exceptional job of going deeper, of going further, and really exploring what these relationships are. After Disney confirmed General Leia Organa wouldn't appear in Star Wars 9, many suspected that Star Wars 8 director Rian Johnson would kill her off, but John Boyega, AKA Finn, might have just revealed that that's not the case.

Other characters on display included C’ai Threnalli who appeared briefly in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and fan- favourite BB- 8. Poe Dameron's costume also made an appearance, but sadly Oscar Isaac was nowhere to be seen. Read more: Here’s everything you missed at SDCC 2. Update: July 1. 9 - one word from the opening crawl revealed. Opening crawls are important business in the Star Wars universe, and director Rian Johnson definitely felt the pressure when writing The Last Jedi's. I wrote something, and it was terrible. We didn’t finish the opening crawl and totally lock it until a few weeks ago actually. Which is awesome, it’s really fun. Are you ready? Drum roll please. It's an enormous amount of pressure to be sure, and the director had previously stated that her story . Given that, though, I think there are scenes that she has that are gonna mean a lot to people. And there are scenes that we have with her where, now, not having her around, I watch them and I think I'm just really thankful that we have that and we can give that to people.? I don't know. But emotionally gives some kind of catharsis, it gives some kind of emotional satisfaction? I really hope so. I know for me it does.

As well as some new behind- the- scene footage (more on that below), Disney also released character posters for The Last Jedi at its D2. Expo. They're pretty bold, if I do say so myself, and make the most of the red theme we first saw with the release of the movie's name and logo. Another interesting point is that everyone's eyes are cut off - quiet unusual for character posters. Click through the gallery above to see all of them. The big news from the D2. Expo is the above behind- the- scene video from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which gives fans almost three minutes of new footage. Honestly, the best thing you can do is just watch it instead of listening to me, but before you do, the footage did leave us with a few questions. For a full breakdown of the footage, check out our deep dive here. We have the plans. We know the weaknesses. We’ve seen the Star Wars: The Last Jedi teaser trailer; we’ve got a beautiful, enticing poster; and we've had some beautiful, revealing shots of the cast via Vanity Fair, all of which you can find below. You’ll also find cast details, plot speculation, and a comprehensive page of the best Star Wars: The Last Jedi theories. You're welcome. Star Wars 8 director is indie sensation Rian Johnson. Rian Johnson is writing and directing. Don’t know who he is? He wrote and directed the excellent and utterly unique Brick in 2. He also did brutal time- travel fable Looper in 2. Also, his first short film was called Evil Demon Golf Ball From Hell!!!, which sounds like nothing if not an exasperated casual slur for a Death Star. Johnson revealed that Luke Skywalker is at the heart of the Star Wars 8 story. Speaking to USA Today, he explained that, “what’s going on with Luke Skywalker?” is the central question surrounding the upcoming movie. He also said that he wanted Star Wars 8 to be, “a blast and to be funny and to be a ride the way The Force Awakens and the original Star Wars movies were.” Less like a bleak reflection of Empire Strikes Back than many were expecting, then, but still exciting. He’s also uncompromising about to delivering his vision. Johnson decided that the scar Kylo Ren got fighting Rey at the end of The Force Awakens looked goofy, so he fixed it. If you thought Kylo Ren looked different, well spotted. Star Wars 8 release date is December 1. At the moment we’ve got a release date for the UK and US of December 1. Czech Republic, Poland, and Russia can apparently catch it a day earlier on December 1. There are some reports that it will be released a day earlier than originally planned in the UK, though, but nothing has been confirmed by the studio yet. Premieres for The Force Awakens happened four days before the US cinematic release, so you should be on full spoiler alert for Episode 8 from December 1. Seriously, turn the internet off. It’s a shame they moved the original May 2. Let’s hope we head to Hoth for all the festive feels. The Star Wars 8 trailer is here! Well, the teaser trailer is, at least. We finally got to see it at Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2. Star Wars: The Force Awakens which reached 1. You. Tube views in 2. Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer hit a not- too- shabby 1. You can watch it below, and don't miss our list of 1. The Last Jedi trailer. There are also rumour of another trailer, detailed on Making. Star. Wars. net: the BBFC has classified a new trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and the evidence suggests it's different from the one we saw in April. It makes some sense, although official sources have suggested another trailer is a long way off. There's a chance it could just be what we've seen already, but shorter. Either way, we'll be expecting something new at either the D2. Expo on July 1. 5, or San Diego Comic Con on July 2. Star Wars: The Last Jedi Vanity Fair images are incredible. Vanity Fair has released a stack of new Star Wars: The Last Jedi photos, and they're basically incredible. I've included them in a gallery below, but hit the link if you want to see them in their uncropped glory. Not only do they reveal details about loads of things we've speculated about below - such as Benicio Del Toro's man in black, and Laura Dern's magnificent hair - but they're worth staring at if only to marvel at the absurd talent of photographer Annie Leibovitz. Every single one is a work of art. Image 1 of 1. 4Image 2 of 1. Image 3 of 1. 4Image 4 of 1. Image 5 of 1. 4Image 6 of 1. Star Wars 7 Force Awakens Box Office Predictions. While I just want Star Wars: The Force Awakens to be a good movie, we’ll all be keeping a close eye on how it performs at the box office. Granted, its box office take will only be a small piece of the movie’s real grossing power—we’ll never know how much it made from merchandise sales, ancillary markets, etc. The movie is currently tracking to open to $2. Jurassic World made when it opened earlier this year and broke The Avengers’ opening weekend record of $2. Image via Disney. However, this $2. Keep in mind that unlike Jurassic World or the previous opening weekend record holder, The Avengers, The Force Awakens is basically playing non- stop from the time it opens on Thursday night through Monday morning. It has the most screens and the most showtimes. If people want to see it at 4: 0. Friday, they can; they couldn’t do that with Avengers or Jurassic World. Also, as we previously reported, The Force Awakens will have no competition on IMAX screens for a month. Keep in mind that tracking numbers change over time, and it’s possible that $2. Star Wars has never braved a holiday season before, and no December movie has ever grossed over $1. The Force Awakens would need to take the record. People are busy traveling, they have hectic schedules, and some might want to wait out a chaotic weekend and see Star Wars later. It would still make a lot of money, but it would be spread out over time. Image via Lucasfilm. Although I’m personally terrible at predicting box office, I still think The Force Awakens will set a new opening weekend record. I don’t know by how much, but I think $2. Sound off in the comments section with your prediction for how much you think Star Wars will make in its opening weekend. The film officially hits theaters on December 1.
