10 Amazing Moments From The Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer

6) Battle On Crait

Now this is where the trailer really kicks off. As the music builds, the action moves to what looks to be a battle between the Resistance forces and the First Order. At about 1:16, we see a fleet of ships that are spewing red smoke while surfing along an alien desert. They aren’t that easy to spot, but if you look closely you can make out that these ships are heading towards some AT-ATs coming their way on the horizon.

So, what are these new class of ships and where is this battle occurring? In an interview with EW, director Rian Johnson called them “skimmers,” which we’re taking to be just a description and not their official designation. He also revealed that the planet is Crait and that it’s home to an old rebel base.

“It’s way out there. It’s very remote. It’s uncharted. It’s a mineral planet and so there are mines on it,” Johnson explained. He also mentioned that Crait will play a “key role” in The Last Jedi. Color us intrigued.
