“Of course there’s a trailer!” Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson screamed to the crowd at Star Wars Celebration this morning. Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy and Johnson also revealed a new teaser poster, which is a throwback to the 1977 one where Luke Skywalker stands with the lightsaber above his head.

Finally, what everyone has been waiting for dropped at the end of The Last Jedi panel today. From the trailer, it’s clear Luke Skywalker is training Rey. He tells her to breathe. There’s a shot of her on the island wielding a blue saber before Luke, but there’s a mysterious figure off to the right. “What do you see?” Luke asks Rey. “Light,” she says and there’s an image of the back of Leia. “Darkness,” she adds and there’s a shot of Vader’s burnt mask. “The balance,” she responds to an image of a map. “It’s time for the Jedi to end,” Luke tells her at the end. There are also shots of Driver’s Kylo Ren sticking a red saber out to us, and also Oscar Isaac’s Poe stumbles upon his X-Wing fighter getting blown to smithereens.
