It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the next Star Wars movie, and everything is going according to my plan that this movie will be ridiculously awesome.
As soon as it was announced that Rian Johnson would be writing and directing The Last Jedi, I was sold on this movie. Johnson’s past films include: looper and Stoneboth of which are incredible, action-packed indies.
We got a glimpse of the movie in a teaser trailer, but we get a pretty concentrated dose in this behind-the-scenes video that shows off some cool fight scenes (Rey with a lightsaber!) creatures (WTF is that glassy-looking fox? ). It’s also always nice to hear John Boyega, who plays ex-Stormtrooper Finn, use his real British accent. We also see some great footage of Carrie Fisher (hard not to get a little choked up there).
One of the themes of this video seems to be that Johnson’s script is going to be a little jarring. Considering there is a chase scene in looper who haunts my dreams to this day, I can absolutely believe there will be a few unhinged moments in The Last Jedi.
This video is the perfect, non-spoilery glimpse of the movie – just enough to get you insanely excited.
