New STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI Ad Spotlights Our New Trio

Erin Lynch

The Last Jedi is inching closer and closer. And boy, we have jumped on the advertising train hard. So much so that there’s a 15 second spot and I’m eating it all up. We see just a little bit of new footage in each clip, including smiles. We got some smiles, guys!

Finn (John Boyega), on a seemingly Resistance ship, is saying “May the Force Be With You” to someone else we can’t see. He has an almost gleeful smile while saying it! While we’re unsure who he’s saying it to, we can guess it’s either Rose or maybe even DJ. As for Poe (Oscar Isaac), he’s on his brand new X-Wing that was modified for faster speeds! Poe notes the increased speeds but what we really wanna know – is it as fast as a First Order TIE Fighter? We’ll see! As for Rey (Daisy Ridley), she has a second of new footage. But! What I love is that Rey is smiling! While flipping her lightsaber, she’s smiling about it!

With each of these clips – we finally see some happiness! To be fair, this is a darker chapter in the saga but it is a Star Wars movie. There’s always humor and notes of fun and happiness. While I’m looking forward to see where the stories go, I didn’t realize how much I needed joy in these promotions till now. Also, more Finn please! Check out the clip yourself and tell us what you think.

Be sure to come back to Geek Girl Authority for more Star Wars news. The Last Jedi comes to theaters on December 15th.
