9) Leia Is The Light
Star Wars fans everywhere were left heartbroken last December when Carrie Fisher tragically passed away. She did finish filming her scenes for The Last Jedi though before she died and while most of the footage of her is held back here, we do get a glimpse of the actress from behind.
As Rey’s training continues, Luke asks her what she sees. “The light,” she replies. This line is played over the top of what can only be General Organa overseeing operations with the Resistance. It’s a touching moment in the trailer as it gives us a glimpse of Fisher and also serves as a reminder that, with Han gone and Luke living as a hermit, Leia is the sole senior face of the Resistance now.
It’s also worth a mention that Rey and Luke are discussing the Force here, so Leia representing the light side could be a hint that her latent Force-sensitivity will be finally explored in The Last Jedi. After all, she did get to say the classic “May the Force be with you” line in the last movie. Â
