Star Wars: The /ast Jedi will be a direct continuation
of events that took place in Star Wars: The Force

and /uke Skywalker sparring on Ahnch-To with their
lightsabers, speeders colliding with the ground, and Poe
and BB-8 bolting in search of an e[ploding ;-Wing, not
much has been known about the plot. It seems that we
need to visit the cinema ourselves to witness how Luke
