If you have been keeping up with Star Wars, then you know the franchise is almost ready to debut another installment of its Skywalker Saga. In December, Star Wars: The Last Jediwill make its way into theaters and pick back up shortly after The Force Awakens ended. Fans have been clamoring for footage of the much-anticipated film, but Lucasfilm has kept everything about the project on the down-low save for its logo. However, if one noted fan-site is right, then The Last Jedi will unveil its first trailer soon - and it will be more than a simple reel.

Over on Twitter, Star Wars News Net got fans buzzing over a simple post not long ago. The site shared a message which wrote, “The Last Jedi trailer that will debut at [Star Wars Celebration Orlando] will definitely have the ‘full trailer’ feel, no just a brief teaser.”

Down in the comments, fans asked if the site could verify the claim came from sources attached to the film, and SWNN did say they had gotten the information as such.

Of course, many fans have all but expected The Last Jedi to debut its first footage at Star Wars Celebration. However, this note from SWNN is a step in an even brighter direction. Some fans had worried that Lucasfilm may simply show a roll-call reel which simply has character posters of its stars. However, after news having broke recently that Disney shared footage of The Last Jedi at a shareholders, the fear dissipated somewhat.

Fans cannot anticipated how long the trailer for The Last Jedi will be, but fans hope it will be long enough to glean some plot information. Official details about the movie have been hard to come by, and enough reports have been shared to get fans excited.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi, from writer/director Rian Johnson, is in post-production now for a December 15, 2017 release. The film follows-up and continues the story of the next generation of the saga as Rey, Poe, Finn, and Kylo Ren find their place in the galaxy and follow the legacy of Luke Skywalker, Leia, and Han Solo. Daisy Ridley returns to star as Rey, with other returning stars John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Domhnall Gleeson, Gwendoline Christie, Peter Mayhew, Andy Serkis, Anthony Daniels, Lupita Nyong'o Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher as General Leia Organa. Benicio Del Toro and Laura Dern join the cast in as-yet-unrevealed roles.

Here's my uninformed prediction for the big "Star Wars" announcement tomorrow morning: An IMAX 3D re-re-re-re-release of "A New Hope" on September 15, after "Marvel's Inhumans" completes it's IMAX run in theaters. "The Last Jedi" trailer will premiere at Star Wars Celebration in Orlando on Friday, but they will probably tease it after the IMAX 3D announcement of a "A New Hope."

Rumor: Star Wars KOTOR Reboot In The Works?

Gaming journalist Liam Robertson recently made some really interesting comments on his Patreon page. According to him, EA’s BioWare Austin is currently in the process of “prototyping” a new Knights Of The Old Republic game. Robertson didn’t quote any sources on this information, but the story is very interesting nonetheless, matching with previous reports. Read on for the details.

Todd Fisher: Carrie Will Be in Star Wars Episode IX.

Although she’s no longer with us, Carrie Fisher’s presence in the remainder of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy is something that would inevitably have to be addressed, as she died before filming on Episode IXbegan. According to Carrie’s younger brother Todd, the actress will be included in the concluding chapter of the trilogy by means of repurposed footage from The Force Awakensand The Last Jedi that were not used in the final cut of either film.
After months of speculation about Carrie’s future in the sci-fi saga, Todd has revealed that Disney bosses want to bring Princess Leia back for Episode IX. And he said he and Carrie’s daughter, Billie Lourd, have granted the studio rights to use recent footage for the finale. It is understood that CGI will not be used to recreate Leia.

“Both of us were like, ‘Yes, how do you take her out of it?’ And the answer is you don’t. She’s as much a part of it as anything and I think her presence now is even more powerful than it was, like Obi Wan — when the saber cuts him down he becomes more powerful. I feel like that’s what’s happened with Carrie. I think the legacy should continue… To me, Star Wars is the holy grail of storytelling and lore and you can’t mess with it.”
The size of Fisher’s role in Episode IX is not clear, but it will depend entirely on how much footage that went unused can be deemed usable. While we shouldn’t expect to see a CGI double used in her place, it isn’t hard to imagine that there could be stand-in actresses who could serve as body doubles or record dialogue that Leia could deliver from offscreen.

With regard to the additional footage itself, there are two headlines that you need to be mindful of. If you remember back to last September, Carrie Fisher had to cut a Comic Book Convention appearance short due to some additional filming after principal photography on The Last Jedi wrapped. I think it’s likely that whatever was filmed at this time could be used for Episode IX, presuming that it wasn’t going to be used for The Last Jedi in the first place – and since we know that they aren’t making any cuts to The Last Jedi to diminish her role, that would also suggest that this additional footage could have been filmed for something new.

In the meantime, Todd Fisher will pursue development of projects that he and his sister were writing together. As sad as her passing was, it’s good to know that there’s going to be a sense of closure for everyone all around – Fisher’s family, her friends, and Star Wars fans – and that her family is getting by just fine in spite of last year’s tragedy.
