8 Important Takeaways From The New Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer

Snoke Tortures Rey

First, we get some shots of a mega-space battle, with Resistance ships attempting to attack the Supremacy, the humongous ship that Snoke calls home. It seems that Poe and BB-8 will be involved in this battle, with the little spherical droid getting hit at one point! Thankfully, he looks to get away with only a slight headache.

Perhaps while the battle is raging on outside, Rey’s inside the Supremacy, at Snoke’s mercy. With our first glimpse of Snoke in the flesh, we see the First Order commander – nice yellow dressing robe, by the way – torturing Rey. She hangs in the air, soundlessly screaming in pain as Snoke barks an order at her. “Fulfill your destiny!”

This is a loaded line as it reveals that this isn’t just Snoke punishing his enemy, but that it could be some sort of test for Rey to prove how powerful she is. This is the biggest piece of evidence that Snoke was speaking to Rey at the beginning of the trailer, with his talk of “raw, untamed power.” Is he looking to cultivate her for his own ends, like he did Kylo Ren? And, more importantly, is she interested in joining his side?
