Poe & Leia Talk In New Star Wars: The Last Jedi TV Spot; New Promo Features Rose
Another new TV spot shows off more footage without giving away much of the plot for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, featuring a brief exchange between Poe Dameron and Leia, along with new shots of Poe taking his X-wing out for a spin and the long-awaited Finn/Phasma fight. There’s also a new girl-centric promo featuring a new shot of Rose.
The clip is followed by the international trailer, since that’s apparently the only way you can see this TV spot for right now. Enjoy:
This, along with the last BTS reel, shows that Poe participates in the Battle of Crait using a speeder. So one question remains: who’s flying the Millennium Falcon here?
In addition, there’s a new shot of Rose at the end of this video from EDFEnergy promoting girls (represented by her and Rey) who are interested in STEM careers (represented by BB-8), which can be viewed here. Here’s the Star Wars clip by itself:
So it looks like Rose is participating in the Battle of Crait after all. Exciting times are all around as we’re only a month away from the release of this movie!
Grant has been a fan of Star Wars for as long as he can remember, having seen every movie on the big screen. When he’s not hard at work with his college studies, he keeps himself busy by reporting on all kinds of Star Wars news for SWNN and general movie news on the sister site, Movie News Net. He served as a frequent commentator on SWNN’s The Resistance Broadcast.
This is the beginning of Rose in the media. if John Boyega is correct in saying, she will be in a lot of the tv spots.
I hope I get more interested in her, but as of right now, I haven’t seen much about her that I care about as a character. I truly hope this changes though.
Which is understandable considering we know very little about her.
Absolutely. That is correct. We’ll have to wait and see.
I think you should just judge that part of the film now, because…..fandom….or something.
Oh yeah, of course. I’m a huge fan of the franchise in all respects. I’m very excited to see it. I know my wife (being Korean) loves to see more variety in Star Wars as well. I just personally haven’t seen much yet that would make me interested in Rose. I think the felt the same about the other new characters in TFA, and Rogue One, but ended up loving most of those characters.
Rose’s scenes in the film are CRINGEWORTHY FYI — I care literally nothing about this screen-time-wasting charicature of a character.
How the heck do you know?
He doesn’t. He’s full of shit.
As always.
1. How many scenes does Rose have in the film?
2. Can you give us a rundown of when each scene takes place in the film and what happens in them?
3. Are all of her scenes equally cringeworthy, or are some of them more cringeworthy than others?
4. Do we see her in a ‘slave Rose’ outfit at any stage of the film?
Kent doesn’t need to be bothered by such trivial details as actually seeing a film or an acting performance to make a definitive assessment of it. He’s been bitching about it for months courtesy of his special powers of divine predestination.
What the actual heck are you raving on about? You haven’t seen this film. You have absolutely zero idea what you’re talking about.
Why would you care before you see the movie?
Get a seat near the door and walk out every time she’s on screen.
It’s clear from your testimony that she’s useless and therefore you wouldn’t be missing anything. Good luck.
Calling her a caricature is premature. You seem to make up your mind ahead of time.
Be honest here.. is there anyone else worried about this movie being bad? (not after an argument, just wondering)
Nah. I was a little worried until I saw the trailer and then Rian got his own trilogy. Someone must have confidence in him after TLJ.
You’ve got it backwards. Disney announced the new Rian trilogy to preemptively frame VIII as a success and try to influence viewers’ perception. If the trick doesn’t work and everyone hates VIII, no problem for Disney, they just cancel the new trilogy or find a new director.
Han Solo levels of cynicism!
Pfft…LFL would never express unbridled confidence in a director, and then fire them halfway through production.
Look im not expecting The Empire Strikes Back level of pure story telling but as long as its better than Attack Of The Clones (title never made sense to me the clones don’t really attack anything or anyone except the battle droids… but i digress) then i’ll be fine. From what i see so far im really hoping for a great Episode.
Me personally? Absolutely not. I was a bit disappointed in The Force Awakens at first (it grew on me), but it left me really looking forward to The Last Jedi. And everything I have seen in the trailers makes me want to see it. I think it’ll be great!
Overall, no, but there is something about those low angle shots of Rey against the sky that just don’t work for me. It’s almost like they needed some extra coverage and just went out to the parking lot to shoot it.
No. I can’t see it being bad. I know it won’t (for me) be as good as Episodes IV or V, simply because those two movies are ingrained in my DNA.
If it’s as good as The Force Awakens (which I rate a solid 8), I’m happy.
Re: “If it’s as good as The Force Awakens ”
I’ll be happy if it’s *better* than TFA.
Wow Rose is boring!
I like a lot of things about TLJ but I’m not a big fan of Poe’s X wing line… seems a little too silly given the gravity of the situation.
Same here. It feels rushed, but I wonder if they sped it up to fit it into the 30 seconds. I sure hope it’s not like that in the movie.
It’s a 30 sec tv spot… edited for maximum effect. Of course it feels rushed. It’s unlikely that it will play out like that in the actual movie.
I think the idea behind it is to fly very fast over the surface of the new star destroyer (which is filled with weaponery). Fortunately after that it explodes and the x-wing is back to normal… let’s see how this plays in the movie.
That’s just Poe. Need I remind you of Poe’s “Who talks first…” And “it hard to understand you…” lines just after he watched Lor San Tekka get cut down, a village massacred, and Kylo stop a blaster bolt in mid-air.
I wasn’t a big fan of those lines either… to be honest it took me out of the film because it felt like JJ just trying to get a laugh out of the audience but after the first viewing… meh. I did like Poe in the rest of the film though.
It’s a hipster film student type of line. I hope it’s cut.
Rose is so cute, I just want to gnaw at those puffy cheeks 🙂
this Rose character just makes me nervous…..
Why is that? We’ve not really seen anything of her yet.
seen enough …
She literally hasn’t said even one line of dialogue. You have LITERALLY nothing to judge her off of.
hey, I can judge anyone. there’s no criteria for that. Her character just looks weak…could be a great character??? I’m judging based on 1st appearance.
You’re judging based on physical appearance, which has no effect on acting ability. You have simply decided that you don’t like her “just ‘cuz”.
we judge people on physical appearance every day…so why not.
