ADULTS REACT TO STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI TRAILER

- (gasping) No!

- Those are the most classic scenes,
right, when Luke's becoming a Jedi.

♪ (industrial music) ♪

- (gasping softly)

Oh my god, is this
that new Star Wars trailer?

I haven't seen this!

- You guys!

(gasping)

- Oh my god, I'm so [bleep] stoked.

- (Snoke) When I found you...
- What is this?

Star Wars.

- (Snoke) ...I saw raw untamed power.

- Who is that talking?

That's what I keep on wondering.

- (Snoke) And beyond that...
- (gasping)

Is this Star Wars? Whoa!

- (Snoke) ...something truly special.

(light saber humming)
- Dude!

(light saber humming)
- Oh my god.

Rey.

(light saber humming)
- That's it!

Give a lady a light saber,
that's all I have to say.

- I haven't seen this yet.
I'm so excited.

- Let's do it, baby.

♪ (dramatic orchestral music) ♪

- I just want to see this.

- (Rey) Something inside of me...

- I have so many speculations
about who Rey's parents are.

- The Force is so strong in her!

Look at that.

- Ho-ho-ho-ho!

Ha! I got chills.

- Oh my god, Rey's a beast.

- (Luke) I've seen this
raw strength only once before.

- (voice quivering) Oh.
Oh... he senses the power.

- (Luke) It didn't
scare me enough then.

- Yeah.

Luke Skywalker.

- (Luke) It does now.
- Oh my god!

- (Kylo Ren) Let the past die.

- It's gonna be so good.

- (Kylo Ren) Kill it...
- He is so hotly evil.

- (Kylo Ren) ...if you have to.

- Aww, Carrie Fisher.

- Oh god, you guys, Princess Leia.

- (Kylo Ren) That's
the only way to become

who you were meant to be.

- Okay, what's that stuff
on Kylo Ren's face?

That's what I keep wondering.

- He's gonna shoot his mom?

- Don't disappoint your mother.

- (Chewbacca roaring)
- Chewie.

Is that a porg?
Is that what they're called?

(porg squeaking)
- Who's that?

(laughing) He's so cute.

- (Poe) ...that will light the fire
that will burn the First Order down.

- This is gonna be amazing.

- Hopefully, Phasma's way
meaner in this one.

- We get to see Captain Phasma
do something?

No way!
(laughing) Yeah.

Whatever that is, I need five.

- (Luke) This is not going to go...

- I don't know what that is.

- (Luke) ...the way you think.

- Oh, Luke. Such a naysayer.

- (Snoke) Fulfill...
- Oh, this seems good.

- I'm not even a Star Wars fan,
but this looks really good.

- (Snoke) ...your destiny.

- Okay, so Snoke actually is real?

- (Rey) I need someone to show me
my place in all this.

- No, not him.

- (Rey) ...me my place in all this.

- (gasping softly)

No!

- Oh my god!

- No, don't go to the dark side.

- Dude!

That score by John Williams
is still the best.

- I am so thrilled!
That was so cool.

- It's so amazing.
I'm so excited.

The thing that this trailer did right
is they gave enough information

where I'm super freaking hyped,
but they didn't spoil anything.

Have you guys pre-ordered your tickets
because I already did.

- (FBE) So that was the trailer
for the new Star Wars film,

Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
- Yes, yes, that was.

- I'm so excited.
It was so good.

- (FBE) How big
of a Star Wars fan are you?

- Well, I'm not that big of a fan.

- I am not a Star Wars fan at all.

- I know a decent amount.

I'm not a die-hard,
dress up like them for Halloween,

but I do enjoy watching them.

- I probably saw the original one,
which was number four to you guys,

ten times in movie theatres.

- I love Star Wars.
I'm a huge fan.

I've watched Clone Wars, Rebels,
pretty much anything

I can get my hands on,
including the Christmas special,

which you have to be a hard core fan
if you're gonna sit

through that piece of crap.

- (FBE) So whenever
a Star Wars trailer is released,

fans band together and start analyzing
the trailer for Easter eggs,

and start to come up
with their own theories for the plot.

Now we're gonna
show you some Easter eggs

from the trailer
and get your thoughts.

- Okay.

- (FBE) Here we see
an updated version of the AT-ATs

that were found way back in
Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back.

- Yes, I remember
them from the old movie.

- There's familiarity--
I'm familiar with this.

Give me something new.

- The first thing I noticed
was those new shin guards

they've got going on, those spikes.

- There's little spikes right there,
so it can cut string.

So wow, okay.

They learned a little bit.

They're like, "Okay,
we're not gonna just put strings."

They're learning from their mistakes.

- (FBE) What do you
think of the differences?

- This look old as heck.

It look like the first dinosaurs.

- Today's, almost oddly enough for me,
look a little older.

- These look more realistic
than the new ones.

- When they first did it,
I mean, they really got that

technology really good, you know?

It was amazing, seeing those
for the first time,

trudging through the snow.

- (FBE) Throughout the trailer,
we see Rey training

with Luke Skywalker--
- Yes!

It's gonna be so good.

- (FBE) And many
are comparing these scenes

to Episode V - The Empire Strike Back,
where Luke is being trained by Yoda.

- Oh, look at Yoda.
He looks so cute.

- He's become the mentor now.

It's like the student
becomes the teacher.

- Those are the most classic scenes,
right, when Luke's becoming a Jedi.

- They're kind of trying
to bring people back into the past

and wanting people to be like,
"Oh my god, this is so similar,"

and kind of putting
people in the feels.

- There was a huge backlash
after Force Awakens came out

because they were saying,
"Oh, we basically got New Hope retold."

It was different enough and new enough
that it still kept my attention

and it's got some
really compelling characters.

- (FBE) Then
there's our first good look

at antagonist Supreme Leader Snoke,
wearing some sort of golden robe.

- Oh, is that who this is?

- And looking very Golem-esque.

- I have this theory, and I know
it's not gonna be correct,

that Snoke is just this tall.

- (FBE) Then then in the next image,
we see Rey being tortured...

- Oh! The gold robe.
- (FBE) ...in the background.

This has flashes
of the Emperor and Luke,

and then, okay, who's gonna step in
because Darth Vader stepped in.

- This could mean that
he's doing the same thing

that Palpatine did to Anakin.

He sees that they
have this immense power,

but they're conflicted.

- I would've never noticed that,
but, you know,

fandom is fandom, right,
so people just get completely obsessed.

- (FBE) And perhaps the biggest news
from the trailer comes

right at the end,
where Kylo seems to be

reaching out to Rey in response
for her asking for guidance.

- Yeah, I mean, something
must happen with her

where she's really stressed
and doesn't know

where she belongs.

- What's she thinking?

I mean, has Luke turned her
completely away

to the point where now
she's pushed towards Kylo Ren?

He killed Han Solo, his dad.

- (FBE) So fans
have already pointed out

that this could be a misdirection
due to maybe some clever editing

of the trailer.

- I mean, having those two
aligned, it's suspicious.

It doesn't make sense.

- I'm hoping it is,
or I'm hoping there's some

sort of other motive if Rey is.

- He went dark so quickly,
and seemed to be this fan boy

of the dark side.

I would not be surprised
if he starts to come back

towards the light side
if he and Rey do a switcheroo.

- I'm not sure because the way
he's holding his hand out,

it kind of lends to the fact
where it's like,

"No, come with me.
I'll show you the way."

Ugh, it's so stressful,
this whole time.

- (FBE) So following the success
of The Force Awakens,

Star Wars returns
with Episode VIII - The Last Jedi.

- Yeah.

- I remember the last ending,
when they left off with Luke Skywalker

and we want to know
what happens next.

- It's scary because it infers
that Luke or Rey are gonna die,

or go to the dark side.

- I know that it's plural.

It's plural, so I'm guessing
it's gonna talk about

probably Luke, obviously,
and maybe Rey?

- (FBE) Whenever a trailer
or news for Star Wars drops,

it becomes a huge cultural event
that is almost inescapable.

Why does Star Wars
have this type of impact?

- I think because it's something new.

They changed it up.

I mean, now they have a brother plan,

their main thing,
so that was a big difference

in the beginning.

- It's kind of become just this thing
where people can get together

and really enjoy it
and talk about it with each other

and just feel connected.

- Everyone watches them,
mostly everyone,

and everyone knows what's going on
and is so excited for the next one.

It's like a universal communal movie.

- Now you've got my age group
that grew up as kids with this.

You know, I remember
going seeing Return of the Jedi

in theatres, and now
we have kids of our own,

and so it's trying to pass down
that nostalgia of,

okay, this was my childhood,
and it can be your childhood too.

- It is the ultimate
best story ever told,

the ultimate good versus evil,
and it's spanned now

how many decades,
like 40 years or something?

It's like every generation
has a finger in this.

(clang!)
(ding)

- (FBE) The trailer
heavily features Mark Hamill

as he once again reprises
his role of Luke Skywalker,

after starring in the original trilogy
over 30 years ago.

What do you think about the fact
that they've brought back

the original actors
to reprise their roles,

and connect them
to a brand new generation

of characters and fans?

- I think it's awesome.

It's that whole bringing worlds
together that Marvel has done so well.

- It's like bringing
the old fans back into it,

but also introducing new fans
into the old-school characters.

- I love it and it's been almost like
a passing down of the torch.

It's really sad that
I know it's only limited

and, you know, this is obviously
Carrie Fisher's last film,

you know, her last
involvement in Star Wars,

which is extremely heartbreaking.

- Carrie Fisher really
was a badass, and it's sad.

I have no doubt that
they're going to pay giant respects

to her in the movie.

- (FBE) So finally,
with the new Star Wars film

coming out in December,
are you going to be

one of the first people there,
or someone who will see it

at some point, or just someone
that will pass on it altogether?

- I'm gonna pass.

I really don't want
to spend my money on that.

- I'm gonna be there on opening night.

- I'll see it sometime
between Christmas and New Years.

- First in line!

I can't wait.

- It's not gonna be the first day,
I'm fighting and trying to get there.

I'll probably see it a week later,
when the crowds

sort of dies down a little bit.

- Considering I
pre-ordered my tickets,

I'm going to be one of the first ones.

- I'm gonna see it at some point.

When it goes to the $1.50 show.

- I'll absolutely be
one of those people

that have pre-ordered tickets
with assigned seating

so I don't have to stand in line.

Mostly because I live on social media,

and if I see a spoiler,
I'll be very sad.

- We usually wait until
the crowds have died down,

a week or so, and then we go
on winter break

and we make a full day out of it.

It's just our hang out time.

I would never pass on it.

Are you kidding?!

I would never pass on Star Wars!
