Our Favorite Moments From The Last Jedi Behind The Scenes Footage
The latest D23 Expo dropped a ton of bombshells for Disney, Marvel, and Pixar fans, but it also [...]
Rose And Finn
It seems pretty clear that Rose and Finn are going to have their hands full in the new movie.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi will feature Finn's recovery after being spine spliced by Kylo Ren's lightsaber.
He'll gain a new companion in Rose, and the two are set to have an important mission into the heart of First Order territory.
We've already heard glimpses of the characters going undercover as First Order officers, confirmed in this video, but we also get a glimpse of the two characters falling on hard times.
The shot that features the two held behind bars could have major significance for the film depending on when it actually occurs. We can't wait to see this new dynamic and to learn more about Rose, as well as find out how Finn deals with returning to the very group he abandoned in the first film.

Star Wars getting a Las Vegas equivalent isn't exactly something we were expecting to see, but we're glad we're getting it!
Star Wars: The Last Jedi's photo spread in Vanity Fair gave us our first look at the eclectic group of aliens that frequent the high-stakes establishment on the new planet. But the footage showed us a good shot of the actual location.
Right around the 2:20 mark, we get a wide shot of the establishment, followed by a monitor playing footage of a shot that glides across a gambling table surrounded by aliens.
We've seen podraces, cantinas, and vile gangster's lairs, and now we get to see the upper crust of the Star Wars Universe cutting loose and spending some money.

We've seen hints of Rey training with her lightsaber, probably being overseen by her new mentor Luke Skywalker, but the new footage hints at some awesome lightsaber battles.
Kylo Ren actor Adam Driver is shown practicing fight choreography against a pair of staff wielding foes.
Maybe this scene is a part of the training Supreme Leader Snoke mentioned at the end of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Could the leader of the Knights of Ren be going up against the members of Snoke's staff-wielding elite guard?
There're also shots of Daisy Ridley training, including a shot where she blocks simultaneous overhead blows from three lightsabers.
Will Rey have a confrontation with the Knights of Ren as well? And if so, will she best them like she did their leader?
