New Star Wars: The Last Jedi Cards Reveal Kylo Ren’s Repaired Lightsaber & More
New card showcasing objects and characters from Star Wars: The Last Jedi have been released, including a look at Kylo Ren’s repaired and slightly-more-stable lighstaber.
The images were released in two sets – the first being a Light Side gallery released via Instagram:
In the meantime, another set of images were released online through Bustle, showcasing the Dark Side:
I still think it’s mind-blowing that they’ve kept so much of the movie’s plot under wraps at this point, but I absolutely love the character and vehicle design that they’re coming up with here. Only two-ish weeks to go!
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.
Am I a horrible fan because I did not notice that the saber was upgraded or slightly more stable?
You are not
lol thank you
according to pablo its the same?!??! im now completely lost tbh i cant telll after looking at it.
I think now FIVE blades pop out of it.
My wildest dreams are coming true.
Absolutely deserving of a ban. How dare you call yourself a fan. Clearly the thingy is not where the other thingy use to be so now it’s a completely different thingy.
you forgot to mention that the whatchamacallit is now over by the thingamajig. Its totally different.
I wasn’t sure myself. I’ve looked at a few TFA and TLJ photos and could only identify two possible differences. 1) the new one has a black finish whereas the old one is brushed metal 2) that horizontal thin metal plate near the pommel may now be yellow/gold?
God, that Star Destroyer just does not get any better the more of it I see. The praetorian guard is still a giant red mushroom. Liking the changes to the TK bucket though, and I love the new gunner helmet.
I hate the guard design. Kylo’s tie fighter is badass, though!
It leaves you… flat? Jokes aside I don’t get the hate. It’s just a flat SD with big guns. I admit I find it a little lame that so far the FO is basically the empire with more armor and giant guns attached. Seems like a Saturday morning cartoon’s idea of bad guys but some designs like the new Stormies are pretty cool.
I must admit at a glance the Praetorian Guard’s helmet made me think of an adult toy… 😛
As Fievel said Kylo’s TIE is awesome. Especially in Battlefront 2 where you can really get a good look at it. I love it.
Upvote for “adult toy”. I thought exactly the same and felt bad about it until I stumbled across your comment about 20 seconds later 😛
Yeah, it is just so totally unappealing. It’s a perfectly flat pizza slice with a single pepperoni (or maybe an olive?). It’s got absolutely nothing to break up that boring silhouette from any angle. Together with the new walker, it’s like the art department heard things like “The Falcon is inspired by a burger with an olive on the side”, and just totally missed that ‘inspired by’ doesn’t mean your next step is ‘so I traced a picture of a gorilla covered in walker parts and called it a day’.
If you think about it, there’s basically nothing original coming with this saga. I mean, technically the entire story going forward exists inside a couple guy’s heads. They could come up with whatever they want and it’ll be canon.
Well it started in one guy’s head. Now there’s multiple heads! Hopefully Rian came up with something compelling. Otherwise I might be left wondering why we have this trilogy at all.
And I liked TFA!
You aren’t making much sense.
I’d say Rian is an exception. They needed something fresh with this movie, and Rian’s not Hollywood. JJ is born and bred Hollywood and it showed in TFA. It played like a by-the-rules Hollywood production.
By the numbers Hollywood isn’t hiding Luke Skywalker until the very end of the movie, but ok.
There was plenty original in TFA. I don’t recall an unformed villain like Kylo Ren, a stormtrooper turncoat, a woman wanting nothing to do with adventure in other SW movies, but maybe I am missing something.
There’s nothing different about Kylo’s saber. It’s exactly the same. Also, I don’t think it was damaged, so I don’t think it’s been “repaired.” I believe Pablo or someone said it was only knocked out of his hand by Rey in TFA, not sliced in half or anything.
Cool images. Love the look
