After working with LucasFilm to create gorgeous images forStar Wars: The Force AwakensandRogue One: A Star Wars Story, artist Brian Rood has returned for even more cool art for the highly-anticipated sequelStar Wars: The Last Jedi. The artist has debuted six new portraits featuring some of the most beloved characters within the entire franchise. These portraits featureGeneral Leia(Carrie Fisher), Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Rey (Daisy Ridley), Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), Finn (John Boyega) and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac).
Unfortunately these images, which surfaced onImgur, don’t offer any further details about these iconic characters, or the roles they’ll play in this sequel. Disney and LucasFilm have been running quite the tight ship, and while there have been rumors aplenty about the story, there haven’t been any significant leaks that have been confirmed. As of now, there has only been oneStar Wars: The Last Jedi trailerreleased, debuting way back in April duringStar WarsCelebration, but there hasn’t been any indication of when the second trailer may finally debut.
These photos come on the heels of the epicForce Friday IIevent, where the first wave ofStar Wars: The Last Jeditoys and other merchandise went on sale. There were a number of toys with new “Force Link” technology, which allowed these toys to play lines from the movie, revealing new dialogue. It hasn’t been confirmed if all of these lines are actually said in the movie, especially since even the first trailer didn’t reveal much actual dialogue. However, director Rian Johnson did explain that none of the toys released forStar Wars: The Last Jedifeatured any spoilers from the movie.
Despite Rian Johnson’s claims, though, we also reported last week thatLast Jedi Topps cardsmay have spoiled some key plot points. The spoilers come in the titles of these cards themselves, with some entitled “Finn’s Recovery,” “Ski Speeder Assault” and “The Fury of Kylo Ren.” Finn’s recovery has been hinted at in the past, and while some of these details have been rumored, they’re seemingly confirmed by this new card set. Still, since hardly any specific details about this story have been turned over, and since it hasn’t been confirmed when the new trailer will arrive, it remains to be seen when we’ll get any further official details about this tightly guarded story.
Star Wars: The Last Jedinot only brings back the important characters fromStar Wars: The Force Awakens, but it also introduces a number of new characters. Laura Dern joins the franchise asAmilyn Holdo, an important figure among the Resistance, Benicio del Toro as the mysterious DJ, Kelly Marie Tran as Rose, who joins Finn on an important mission for the Resistance, and Veronica Ngo as Rose’s sister Paige, a Resistance fighter. Take a look at these new photos fromStar Wars: The Last Jedi, as we get closer and closer to the December 15 release date.
