Disney and Lucasfilm released the first official trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi on Friday — and you're going to want to rev up your speculation engines.
The clip, which was released at the conclusion of a Star Wars Celebration panel in Orlando, opens with a panting Rey on the same island on which we left Luke Skywalker in The Force Awakens. We also glimpse an injured Finn and a menacing Kylo Ren, interspersed with sprawling landscape shots and quite a few explosions — along with a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo from the late Carrie Fisher.
"I only know one truth," Luke says in a voiceover. "It's time for the Jedi to end." The Last Jedi is slated for release Dec. 15, 2017. In the meantime, you can see a teaser poster for the movie here or watch the trailer below. Kimberly Alters
