The first footage from Star Wars Episode VII: The Last Jedi has been screened, and it sounds like Luke Skywalker takes back his old lightsaber from Rey.
On Wednesday, during an annual meeting of the Disney shareholders, attendees were treated to new footage from The Last Jedi. The footage reportedly included glimpses of Rey, Chewbacca, Finn, Leia as well as the meeting between Rey and Luke Skywalker. According to Daniel Miller of The Los Angeles Times the footage shows Luke taking back the lightsaber Rey offered him during the cliffhanger of The Force Awakens. Miller also tweeted several details about the footage, which including “mountains, oceans, and forest,” making it sound like a lot of other Star Wars planets we’ve seen before. Oceans could be Luke’s planet Ahch-To. Forests? Maybe a return to Endor?
Miller also reported an X-Wing fighter was also reported to be shot by a bigger ship, and was wobbling “like a wounded bird.” And though General Leia appears in “military garb,” she doesn’t actually speak and the glimpse of Carrie Fisher in the role is “only for a second.”
The footage from The Last Jedi was only screened for those at this shareholder meeting. It’s unclear if this clip will be exactly the same as what will be contained in the first trailer for the film, which is expected to publicly debut at the Star Wars Celebration convention in Orlando, FL on April 13.
Luke taking back Rey’s offering of his old family lightsaber also was taken by those in attendance as something of a “joke.” But, maybe it’s no joke. If Rey is truly to become a Jedi, she’ll have to build her own lightsaber.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi opens on 15th December, 2017.
