It's our reaction to the glorious The Last Jedi trailer. We talk all about misdirection, redemption, porgs, crystal foxes, Leia, and MORE.
Watch it again!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0CbN8sfihY
And here’s the full dialogue text of The Last Jedi trailer:
Snoke: When I found you, I saw raw, untamed power. And beyond that, something truly special.
Rey: Something inside me has always been there. But now it’s awake. And I need help.
Luke: I’ve seen this raw strength only once before. It didn’t scare me enough then. It does now.
Kylo: Let the past die. Kill it if you have to. That’s the only way to become what you were meant to be.
Chewie: Raawwwarr’arrrrr!
Porg: Aieee! Aieee!
Poe: We are the spark that’ll light the fire that’ll burn the First Order down.
Finn: Come on!
BB-8: Bewow.
Luke: This is not going to go the way you think.
Snoke: Fulfill your destiny.
Rey: I need someone to show me my place in all this.
