Theatrical poster discussion - The Last Jedi

Luke and Leia between Rey and Kylo like, "Play nice, kids! The galaxy is counting on it..."

Once again, Kylo and Rey are paralleling each other. I noticed though that we don't have flares this time.

@gwendy85

Is Snoke the pink homunculus growing out of Leia's shoulder?

@Xylo Ren

I think that's Hux

I think that leaker who said Luke is going to ignite a red lightsaber or something was right, just by looking at this poster.

I like it! I also prefer the teaser poster, but I love seeing Rey and Kylo side-by-side.

It kinda looks like Rey has a cross guard lightsaber too the way that beam of light is going parallel to the hilt. I mean I know it’s still the Anakin/legacy lightsaber but that’s just something I noticed on first impressions.

Love Leia front and center, just a little bummed based on the full size image there's no writer's credit for Carrie. Also why is Poe featured on the right-hand side with the bad guys?!

It's a good poster, not too busy. Luke looks evil, Rey and Kylo are indeed 2 halves of our protagonist and then there's the rest. Jason reported about this version if my memory's correct. Love it that Rey and Kylo hair is blowing in the wind.

I actually really liked it! I am happy. The teaser poster will always be my favorite but this one works well for the release.
So excited once again Kylo & Rey parallel each other! And Leia also in the center as she should be. Plus Luke looks awesome too.

Two thumbs up!

@snufkin

That's a good point. If anything maybe it should have been finn to suggest his struggles with his past with the FO.

Are there stars or constellations in the background or is it embers and ashes raising up to create more atmosphere?

@Mrs Ben Solo

I see what you are talking about.  Also, Luke's face is half red, half not.  Do we got a Jekyll and Hyde madness happening here?

I was underwhelmed by this at first, but it's totally, totally growing on me. Rey's cut on her arm is front and center, and easy to see. @Mrs Ben Solo great catch on Rey's saber light reflection looking like a crossguard!!!! I'm sure that points to her being an integral piece to Ben's redemption.

And of course, our two right next to each other. They're not Han and Leia on the ESB poster, but honestly who was expecting that? This is the next best thing!!!

Call me overly optimistic (I'm usually the opposite, lol), but I really think the poster alludes not only to Rey and Kylo being two sides of "something," but also to them teaming up at some point, which is something I so want to happen.

I noticed BB-8 and BB9-E(?) are parallel to each other on the poster too, which is very cute.

John Boyega has been hinting at a civil war at times.  I wonder if Poe and Finn end up on opposite sides.  I don't see Poe going FO, but I could see Poe having a different opinion than Finn.

@gwendy85 there is a flare near the hilt of Rey's saber, right between her and Kylo.

It is tiny, though.

Right! It's literally a visual representation of "have each other's backs".

@SoloSideCousin

I actually see this as the opposite! I don't see Finn and Poe disagreeing on much, honestly, and the way they are positioned in the same way as Rey and Kylo actually says a lot. I think it actually points to Rey and Kylo agreeing on more than we think...

It's all Porg-blood that red, why is Kylo's space-limo in it? Rian even mentioned it! The dude has 2 fancy rides;)

First of all, Kylo looks sexy as hell.

Second, Rey is a bada$$

Third, Luke is scary

Fourth, interesting that Kylo and Rey are the same size, I really expected Rey to be more centrally located and larger than anyone else

And Fifth, she's on top on him, so there's that lmao

they're totally teaming up

@AppleCrumble122 @SoloSideCousin @iojovi - if Rian Johnson is as much of a film nerd as we all think he is, he's more than aware of the type of characters which Oscar Isaac has made his name on. Poe is casting against type for somebody who's so good at playing charismatic screw-ups who get themselves into morally complicated territory. Not just Inside Llewelyn Davis, but a Most Violent Year and Show Me a Hero. He's great in TFA, but so completely wasted beyond his introduction when he snarks on Kylo and has his tiny Llewelyn Davis moment of sighing and sinking into his interrogation platform the moment Finn comes to spring him. Beyond that, it's a huge waste of what he's good at. So if they show the different groups splintering and allow the actor to do what he's good at, it'll definitely go in that direction.

@Blood Moon

Yes, it’s interesting to see Kylo’s Space Limo when we’ve been seeing/hearing so much about his TIE Silencer. I wonder where it will come into play as we’ve been expecting Kylo to take the Silencer to Ahch-To.

I think Poe is on the right for the sake of symmetry to mirror Finn on the left, nothing else. Otherwise you'd have to shrink his image a lot and make Hux big instead.

Haha, someone already did this



Two halves, just like Rian said.  

I'm loving the red colors, and everyone looks great.

Yeah I think that's interesting!
