When it comes to merchandise for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, we’ve seen a lot lately. Almost too much, some might say. After all, we still want there to be at least a few surprises left when the film hits theatres, right?
Admittedly, there’s still much that we don’t know, and things will likely stay that way, even despite the deluge of tie-in merch, which continues today with a bunch of new photos of the upcoming line of Hasbro toys for the film. There’s quite a bit here that fans will want to dive into, but among the highlights are new looks at Supreme Leader Snoke, the mysterious DJ and Luke Skywalker, who may end up taking a dark turn by the movie’s end.
None of it’s going to stop the presses or give up any groundbreaking story clues, but if it’s anything and everything from that galaxy far, far away that you’re after, the gallery below should keep you busy for a while. Plus, it’s always nice to get some new looks at characters like Snoke and DJ, who’ve been kept out of most of the marketing material thus far.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi lights up theaters on December 15th and is one of three major Star Wars projects in active development – the other two being Lucasfilm’s Han Solo origin story and the so-far untitled Episode IX.
The latter has been subjected to some fairly drastic changes of late, after J.J. Abrams (and screenwriter Chris Terrio!) was drafted in to fill the director’s chair left vacant by Colin Trevorrow. A new, December 2019 release date has also been confirmed, which tees up a potentially huge box office clash with the so-far unnamed Wonder Woman sequel. And yes, Patty Jenkins will take point at the helm for Diana’s second solo movie following that record-setting deal.
