More The Last Jedi Toy Leaks Continue to Hit the Web Sharing More Interesting Details
We’re just ten days away from The Last Jedi Force Friday II event, which is supposed to officially reveal the merchandise for Rian Johnson’s movie. Practically every toy has already leaked online from people who bought the toys from shops that accidentally or not have broken the street date. Ignoring the fact of the leaks we at SWNN all agree that Force Friday II will be much more exciting than The Force Awakens Force Friday, which didn’t offer the diversity the fans were expecting. Proceed reading for some more toys from The Last Jedi plus a closer look at some old ones.
In the last few weeks the members over at reddit have been very busy sharing their surprising finds at local toy stores, where they managed to buy toys from the upcoming Star Wars movie The Last Jedi before they were supposed to be officially released.
In the last few days we shared some of these, now there are more.
First, here’s a closer look at Snoke:
I think we all got used to the idea that Snoke will be wearing a golden robe in The Last Jedi, but what about this ring? Curious… Remember that General Leia had a similar fancy ring in The Force Awakens. Of course there might not be any connection between the two, but it doesn’t hurt to speculate about it, especially after it seems that Leia and Snoke had history based on her words in TFA.
And here’s another look at Snoke from the BB-8 playset:
Next we have some really cool The Last Jedi mugs. You can get one for $10.

While the Praetorian Guard takes center stage, the fans of the porgs will immediately notice that the cute creatures are also getting a mug for themselves.
Speaking of porgs, here’s a great look at their Funko Pop figure, plus the resistance BB-8:

And even more porgs…

Also some The Last Jedi stamps leaked in Australia giving us a better look at some of the characters (see title image):

And here’s an even closer look at some of them via the Instagram account News from Jakku:
And last but not least, a Hot Wheels car dedicated to Luke Skywalker from The Last Jedi has a green colored windshield and rims, strongly suggesting that Luke is still having his green lightsaber with him in the movie.

As commandercluck pointed out on reddit “in this line of cars, the windshields are also being colored to match the lightsaber (this was the case with the rey, yoda, kylo ren, obi wan, and vader car).

Why would you sell toys before the movie even hits the cinemas. Nice look on Snoke by the way, espescially on the stamps.
The movie opens just a few days prior to Christmas. If the toys were released shortly before the movie premiered, that wouldn’t leave a lot of time to cash in on the holiday shopping rush. No toy manufacturer or retailer in their right mind would miss that opportunity. If the movies move back to May releases, you might see a toy release date that hugs a bit closer.
….they have done it like this forever? It builds hype for the movie, too.
I’m a Star Wars fan for 40 years, but Snoke looks terrible. He looks like Hugh Hefner in a golden bathrobe. I’m sure it will look a lot better in the movie … (or at least I hope so)
Yeah, right. They totally should have gone with a black, hooded robe. Also, they should’ve made him shorter and had him played by Ian McDiarmid or some shit. How DARE they go for something different?!?!?
Yes, how DARE he say he doesn’t like it, right?
Ooohh, someone’s triggerd 😉
here comes the first of the “true fans” right? Cause “true fans” worship every fart and criticize nothing, right? 🙂 come on, show some tolerance to others opinion…
“Show some tolerance to others opinion”… is this coming from the say who spent the entire run up to TFA endlessly whining about having a female lead? 😉 Becuase I believe it is, which makes your “point” totally moot.
(Also: intolerance is a completely different things. I used sarcasm to point out the inability to accept things that are different).
If you are so sure show me one single statement where I have anything against a female lead. Either you are lying or thinking I´m someone else. I love Daisy and I´m super happy that she is the lead of TFA. So please, when you are accusing someone here, first be sure that you have the right guy 🙂
Agree. If this is “cheap,” then I hope TLJ is nothing but cheap.
It’s not so much about the judgement itself – I mean, one could say that it looks cheap because it’s a toy so of course it looks cheap. It’s more about complaining over absurdly small details. Watching a movie is a skill: having a sense of entitlement about how things should look/sound/be its the exact opposite of that (and a lot of people mistakes it for “critical sense” which, obviously, is not).
Why even have a single all-powerful bad guy? Maybe a small committee of evil. This would have certainly been different from Palpatine.
I’m with you, that robe looks cheap, even if some “easily pleased fans” think they are daring to be “different”. But after all, these are all opinions, aren’t they, and as such, are personal. You and I, for instance, do not like it, but Rian Johnson, Kathleen Kennedy and some ‘experts in cinema’ do.
What looks cheap about it? It looks like it’s made of gold threads. If anything, it’s expensive.
First thing I thought of when I saw him was Shimrra from the new jedi order.
He looked pretty terrible in TFA already – I thought they might have used the opportunity in TLJ to improve/evolve his look ( much as they did for Palpatine from ESB to ROTJ ).
I’m going to remain neutral until I see it in the film, because of course it looks awful in a little tchotchke toy…
Say what you want about the gold robe – at least he’s not just wearing another predictable black robe like the Emperor.
I WILL have a Porg coffee mug and I WILL use it at the office.
Oh… the porg sounds aren’t so bad when you hear the other ones.
I’ve noticed more and more similarities in Rogue One and TLJ to The New Jedi Order series. They took some things in Rogue One directly out of the fourth book. Different sets of text etc.
Walking around in that bathrobe, Snoke reminds me of Arthur Dent from ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’.
Snoke loves goooold.

The porgs: small creatures with big eyes and squeaky voices… Is Star Wars trying to create it’s own Minions? (The Minions are annoying as hell, but they do sell toys).
I have a feeling that this movie will be slow-moving for the first half, and not necessarily in that good, character-development way. The pace picks up toward the climax, which will be a crazy — Rey vs. Kylo on the battlefield as Ski Speeders and the Heavy Assault Walkers fight around them. (This will be like Battlefront brought to life in an official SW movie.)
The overall result is that the general consensus will be TLJ is certainly better than any of the Prequels but will be regarded as uneven, but except for the climax, not a SW movie many will care to watch repeatedly.
What in the world would give you that idea?
I doubt a Rey/Kylo fight takes place in the same area as the speeder thing. I imagine the clips we’ve seen on the trailer are all from the first 30 minutes of the movie, being as the first full TFA trailer only showed parts from the first part of the movie.
That’s a very specific assumption you’re doing there…
LOL BASED ON NOTHING
I hope so..that’s gonna be kinda stupid in his part to fight with a saber like that.
Looks like Snoke raided Anthony Daniels’ bedroom-wear collection.
Looks like a Hugh Hefner action figure that was put in the microwave.
The stamp of Snoke looks bad ass. The golden robe action figure does not.
He’s got a real Space Heffner vibe going on here. I hope they’re not insinuating that he’s a pimp. XD
I really want luke to use his green saber.
IF we don’t get Luke in LightSaber combat, I leave the Theater DISAPPOINTED come December.
We know..
AGREED. I really want him to still have his green saber.
I now kind of hope that Luke doesn’t see any combat.

*eyeroll*
Snoke uses the schwartz
is it just me or does the lady next to Finn look out of place in the cover photo for the article?
Rose is apparently Finn’s sidekick, but I absolutely hate how they’ve designed her character to look like she’s a helpless child. The silly haircut, the hunched shoulders. That may be her personality, but yeah, it doesn’t make for a great heroic group shot.
Because that “cover” poster is the hackiest, most amateurish photoshop I’ve ever seen, crudely slapping together individual pictures that were never meant to go together in a completely unnatural way.
And we find out that Snoke is a Genie…smh…
Characters in TLJ that I already care ZERO about and will waste precious screentime that could be Luke/Rey: ROSE.
We know.
We heard you the last 5 times, thank you very much.
