STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI Promotional Leaflet Teases The "Most Shocking" Reveal In Star Wars History
Will Star Wars: The Last Jedi feature an even more shocking twist than Darth Vader's "I am your father" reveal from Empire? That's what this new promotional leaflet for the film suggests...
We figured Rian Johnson's Star Wars: The Last Jedi would contain a few big surprises, but could it feature the biggest reveal of the entire franchise so far? That's the bold claim made on a Japanese promotional leaflet for the film that surfaced over at Star Wars News yesterday.
The flyer also provides a few intriguing teases relating to Kylo Ren's final journey towards the dark side, General Leia's new mission, and more.
Here's a rough English translation:
The Most Shocking Truth In Star Wars History Will Soon Be Revealed!
A new generation’s tale of the struggles of light and dark, virtue and evil has begun with the death of Han Solo. In a Galaxy where First Order and the Resistance are fighting against each other in a war, the heroine, Rey, had the Force awaken within her. What will happen to the galaxy when Rey and the only remaining Jedi knight, Luke Skywalker, meet?
Kylo Ren has fallen to the Dark Side of the Force and killed his father, Han Solo. As a successor of his grandfather, Darth Vader, and a high ranking enforcer in the First Order, where will his ambition lead him to? Furthermore, Kylo Ren’s mother, the leader of the Resistance, Leia, Poe, Finn, and BB-8, will embark on a new mission!
The story has finally begun and it will lead to a mysterious climax! December 15. Be ready for the shocking truth surpassing the previous stories!
Of course, there's always a chance this is exaggerating the magnitude of the "truth" we'll discover in the follow-up to The Force Awakens, but it'll still be fun to speculate on what it could be.
Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place. Star Wars: The Last Jedi will be with us this December.
