2 Minute Read

Apr 12 2019

The first look at the closing act of the new trilogy dropped at Star Wars Celebration Chicago this morning – and it promises that “every generation has a legend.”

The movie is currently in the editing and visual effects stage to get it ready for its release in December. At the announcement, J.J. Abrams gave a little bit of a plot hint that seems to call out to Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega), Poe (Oscar Issac) and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver)…

“This movie, it’s about this new generation, and what they’ve inherited, the light and the dark.”

Not a bunch else has been said at this point. We may get more over the weekend, which I’ll be writing about on Monday. Till then: what are your thoughts on the trailer and the title?
