ORLANDO — It’s here! It’s finally here! After a year and a half since Star Wars: The Force Awakens, many fans the world over have been anticipating any news regarding Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Well, wait no more!
On Friday, Disney studios dropped the trailer for The Last Jedi, the next chapter in the “Star Wars” saga.
The trailer followed a panel with the film’s director Rian Johnson and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy that took place at the massive “Star Wars” fan gathering, Star Wars Celebration, in Orlando, Florida.
