New Star Wars: The Last Jedi TV Spots Arrive, Featuring A Line From Rose, More Porgs, & A Shocking Twist
Lots of new footage has surfaced as we edge closer and closer to the movie’s release date. Eight days out, and we’ve got a better look at the movie than ever before.
The three TV spots can be seen below. I’ll warn you that there aren’t any spoilers in the first two, but the last one (which is unfortunately in low quality) has a shocking shot at the very end that could very well be a big spoiler – and you might want to skip it. (Seriously, it’s a doozy! You can wait 8 days, right?)
BEWARE OF SPOILERS!!!
The new shots in these ads include:
- An establishing shot of Rey looking out at the horizon with the Caretaker homes in the background.
- An AT-M6 firing its big gun, along with Rose Tico pulling a Ric Olié.
- The Porgs trashing the Millennium Falcon, much to Chewie’s frustration.
- A scene of Chewbacca roaring while navigating through Crait’s caverns.
- Slightly more of the Finn & Phasma fight.
- Finn driving his speeder through hostile conditions with a determined expression.
- Leia looking out on the horizon from inside the Resistance Base.
- A new line from Kylo Ren: “Let’s finish this.”
- More footage of Poe outmaneuvering TIE fighters over D’Qar and damaging a Star Destroyer.
- Phasma looking shocked while a malfunctioning AT-AT fires upon the Stormtroopers in the background.
- The Executioner Stormtroopers powering their weapons.
- SPOILER ALERT: Rey grabbing Kylo Ren’s lightsaber and preparing for battle against the Praetorian Guard.
So quite a bit to go around! I’m absolutely blown away that they’re showing that very last shot in that last TV spot, as it seems very un-Lucasfilm-y of them to reveal something that looks like a crucial moment. Still – at least we know that those weapons won’t go to waste.

I need new pants
Holy smokes, that last shot was just incredible! I mean, I know it’s a big spoiler, but come on! MULTIPLE Porgs on the Falcon!
That Rian Johnson — ripping off ESB and that classic Trek episode!
I’m surprised that they showed that last shot. Also, I hope that Snoke’s scenery looks better in the actual film because it looked kinda like a cheesy TV set there. Still, super pumped for next week.
I have not been at all impressed with the visuals in the trailers. I am hoping they are holding back the best stuff. Ach Tu scenes look like a Travel Channel documentary and Snoke’s throne room looks like the set of a TV game show. “I’ll take the Dark Side for $100 Alex.”
Hahahahaha
Yeah the throne room looks pretty bad imo. No backdrop just a red wall that looks like they used “redscreen” instead of greenscreen and forgot to remove it. Rian Johnson does have some really poor taste as far as a couple of designs are concerned. Speaking from a strictly visual point of view I am glad he’s not in charge of IX.
It’s not a wall, but a red curtain.
I know it’s some kind of red blinds. There’s a small stripe of transparent glass where you can see the exterior of the supremacy but it looks like a red wall. It’s the worst throneroom in any Star Wars movie so far.
I have no words. None that would feel like enough, anyway. Bring it on.
Where’s this shot of Rey picking up Kylo Ren’s lightsaber? I’ve watched the vid a few times and cannot see it.
Scroll down, it’s the last video, right under “Beware of spoilers!”. 🙂 Enjoy!
Nice one, cheers.
How come Rey is picking up Ren’s lightsaber though. Did he attack Snoke and the guards and die/got wounded or did she snatch it out of his hands/off his belt? Interesting stuff. These spots got me a lot more hyped though. Whoow only VIII days left, people!
Maybe Kylo Ren throws it to her and what we see is her catching it out of mid air?
Could be! Don’t know how the characters will progress in this movie, but I’d kind of like to see a Rey/Kylo team-up, just for kicks…
They might. I’m just taking “a shot in the dark”, but it could be that Rey doesn’t have her own weapon then because Snoke has it. If Snoke had been given her weapon by a guard (“No weapons around our leader…”) maybe Kylo would throw her his lightsaber to give us the shot we see there.
Only 6 days left for me. Can’t wait to see it!
I wonder if there’s any negative effect from handling a red saber. According to the current canon, a Kyber that has been damaged and corrupted by the dark side “bleeds” red.
Hmm don’t think so, certainly haven’t heard of anything in canon that confirms this. I’d say chances are very slim.
According to the new Vader comic, that’s what a red Kyber is — it’s “bleeding” and “crying”. I myself think this is eye-rolling and silly, but it is what it is now. But does this have an affect on the person welding it? (I don’t know.)
Not a fan of that either. :/ Thanks for the info though!
Actually only VII days left. You can see the movie Thursday night or at least I can in NYC. First showing 7pm Thursday!
I really wish I would have seen this for the first time in the theater a week from now but, what is done is done.
Wednesday 13. th here in Czech Republic and the whole central Europe. 7 PM.
Hey, that room fo the Laptop has a Xmas tree with leds, a lamp, sofa, and a painting 😀
Haha i noticed that too:)
Oh, I forgot the SPOILERS ALERT, I hope I have not spoiled that living room to anyone 😀
It’s like this site forgot that the entire marketing is misdirection.

I wonder why the name of that spot is “Betrayal”…
Argh – just skimmed the story, I aint watching no more!!
I watched the teaser on Twitter having no idea about the thing at the end. I am actually pretty annoyed by this. It’s not a spoiler but a really cool moment that I wished I would have seen for the first time in a week.
Also the visual dictionary has leaked it has a lot of spoilers so if you dont want to know nothing until the movie avoid the pages of leia, poe ,luke and rey
WHY DID YOU SAY THIS? NOW I’M CURIOUS 🙁
not ruin but yeah there are some stuff i wish i didnt read, its not a twist reveal or something like that
Thanks! 🙂
Is it on the same level of Snoke’s appearance being leaked prior to TFA?
It’s something that ruins the movie experience? (also sorry for my bad english)
Yeah smartphone pictures of all the pages in the book have leaked online. They reveal critical plot points to the movie. I’m not going say which site has them, but it’s Google-able…

Am
I the only one who gets the feeling that on the end scene Rey is
fighting alongside the Praetorian Guards and not against them? Maybe
protecting Snoke from Kylo and/or Luke? She seems to be focused on an
adversary in front, not the guards on the sides. “Fullfill your destiny”
and all…
Then again, there’s a lot of misdirection on these trailers…
nah i think she steals the saber from kylo and then snoke freezes her like we ve seen in the trailer, i think she is gonna learn the hard way
Nah man, if you look at how those guards react it’s not like their taking arms with another comrade. They’re clearly distressed in my opinion and moving in to stop her (remember Luke getting his green saber on the barge and everyone moving in to stop him?)
Ok .. seriously … why is that last video a ‘huge twist / spoiler’ exactly? It’s not like we haven’t seen Rey at that location before … and we know she probably puts up a fight there … and we know that she’s beaten the crap out of Ren before … so maybe she stole it ? I mean come on why is this a big deal …
I gotta agree but I’m not mad about it. It’s just a warning. Nothing wrong with that. Spoilers of course as I am going to discuss it. Yeah it’s basically her in the throne room probably before he begins to torture her with the Force. She’ll probably be defiant and then will get a demonstration as to how futile that is.
It’s just to warn people. Relax.
I was relaxed, but, now I want to punch your presumptuous face in through my computer moniter.
Relax … lol.
It’s great when someone threatens violence against another like that. Really shows what an intellectual heavyweight I am dealing with.
If you’re going to ever tell someone to ‘relax,’ it’s almost always best followed up with ‘let me get you a drink,’ or else the idiotic gesture is nothing more than a passive-aggressive act of war.
As I do not see an alcoholic beverage in front of me – stfu. ( That’s a fancy acronym for ‘shut the f* up for you intellectual lamens )
Relax.
It’s not. There’s only room for one big deal in this sequel franchise.
“DO NOT READ IF YOU DONT WANT SPOILERS”
there something more important… is not that she steals the saber is the thing behind her what i think she wants to destroy
This isn’t a spoiler as it doesn’t really give away any story details. It’s a spoiler in terms of showing you something that will happen. There are way too many possibilities for what’s happening. Is Rey pulling a Luke on the barge in RotJ and pulling the closest lightsaber to her so she can go on the attack? Did Snoke or the Guard incapacitate Ben and she took it to protect the two of them? Did she pull it off of Ben when he wasn’t paying attention? Is this before or after the scene we have of Snoke holding her with the Force? I’m guessing after because in the right hand side of that image the Guards are still just striking a pose against the red background.
Considering the novelization of TFA, the fact that JJ said Ben isn’t a fully fledged villain in TFA but becoming one similar to how Luke wasn’t a fully fledged hero in ANH, I feel like the significance of Han’s death in TFA is that Ben is essentially following the path of “what if Luke actually killed Vader in RoTJ”. In addition, if you listen/read the scene of Snoke talking to Ben in the novelization, he talks about the Empire and Vader in very specific ways which makes me question how much does Ben actually know about the history of the Galaxy. Considering he didn’t know Vader was his grandfather until 5 years before TFA, I wonder if he has the belief that the Empire were the “good” guys and his uncle overthrew it all…
The best kind of marketing that raises more questions than gives answers.
Oh my gah..should I watch it? Was it really that spoilery?
Aw shit I watched it..oh well lmao
Okay, someone just put on YouTube a clear copy of the third TV spot above. (So maybe you guys will want to replace the one you have linked in the news with this far superior copy.)

The official SW Instagram posted it too…
If you really want to be spoiled, check out the TLJ Visual Dictionary that was leaked yesterday:
https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsLeaks/comments/7i3uvu/the_last_jedi_the_visual_dictionary_masterpost/
A true test of patience and discipline.
I failed.
I only checked out Luke, Ahch-To and Snoke, and I really liked what I read.
Avoid Leia.
Oh, I’ve gone dark. But I was curious about how Johnson would handle the Dark and the Light, and I was very pleased that it nicely chimed with my head canon. Now, I won’t be distracted by that when I’ll see the movie for the first time.
I read a couple of the entries. Have enough info to sustain me until seeing the movie.
This is a big bag of nope for me. I am annoyed that I got the Rey with Kylo’s lightsaber thing this morning. Not ruining the movie for me. I book marked this until next Thursday after I get out of the movie.

Anyone else notice how the Praetorian guards seem to stop just short of attacking Rey, and how close she is to that device that many people have been wondering about in Snoke’s throne room? It looks to me like she’s threatening to destroy whatever it is, and it’s so important that they’re holding back. She basically looks to be holding it hostage.
Read the entry on Snoke if you really want to know. The device is explained here:

Getting a 404, page not found.
Wow…major major spoiler warnings here. It was fascinating but that’s the first time I regretted reading more before the movie. Thanks anyway!
Yes, you could possibly put much of the movie together from this leak alone. I only read the pages on Snoke, Luke, and Ahch-To, because I didn’t want to be distracted from the movie by focusing on Jedi lore.
On the other hand, I’m a bit disappointed that SWNN did not report this leak. Makes me wonder whether they are just shills for Disney, just like Collider’s Jedi Council.
Or maybe they don’t want to spoil the movie for everyone?
Lets put some trust in us and our judgement and free will to decide what to read and what not to read. There are still countries in the world where someone above thinks that he knows better what is good for the people
Just put up an EPIC SPOILER WARNING. I understand that SWNN and Collider can’t afford to lose access to Lucasfilm by pissing them off.
But this stuff is easy to find, and matters to the kind of speculation SWNN has engaged in for the last few months. It’s one thing to ignore wild rumors and fan theories. It’s another to completely ignore a legitimate leak that, unlike the other leaks reported here, is actually substantial.
And yes, people can decide what they want to read. As I said, I avoided almost the entire leak, because I don’t want to be spoiled all too badly.
Fair enough. Sorry if my answer was blunt, I just know that having followed the site for years, they tend to be really good, but occasionally hold back on things based on judgment calls, and I’m cool with that.
Wait what? I’m so confused where’s the rey clip
It’s the video after the beware of spoilers notice.
Captain Phasma’s rifle has a bump stock!
Sorry wrong message

What are you doing?
If you want to post spoilers do this

Thanks for the share 🙂 I hate and love you at the same time. The dark side and the ligth side of reading spoilers I guess. But in the end I was always more of a Sith than Jedi, unable to resist the dark side of leaked information 😛
