Star Wars: The Last Jedi Teaser Footage Details Revealed

03/15/2017 12:57 pm EDT

Last week, Disney held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders, where the company presented its upcoming slate of big movie properties - including the first official reaction to Star Wars: The Last Jedi, along with a sizzle reel of footage from the film.

While Comicbook.com (and a lot of other press) was able to listen in on the meeting, we weren't able to see the actual Last Jedi footage, in order to give fans an early breakdown. However, someone who was at the meeting in Denver, Colorado has sent out a description of the sizzle reel footage, giving us our first real insights into what Star Wars: The Last Jedi looks like onscreen.

The source of the report is a /Film reader named Matthew Hansen, who was supposedly at the Disney shareholders meeting in Denver, Colorado. Read below for the bullet point breakdown of what he saw - as reported by /Film:

That's what was shown in the main sizzle reel. Later on in the presentation, Disney CEO Bob Iger also teased the crowd with a clip from The Last Jedi that would show what occurred moments after the ending of The Force Awakens; it was all a joke, but fans were curious just what Iger showed the crowd during the gag.

Thanks to Hansen's report, we now know that Iger showed the crowd Mark Hamill's Luke Skywalker grabbing his lightsaber from Daisy Ridley's Rey with both hands, and looking up at the camera in bewilderment. That's it. Nothing was said, nothing revealed.

So far, it sounds like The Last Jedi is a lot like Empire Strikes Back, in that half of it is a Jedi training tale, while the other half details the more drastic stakes of the good guys' war with the evil empire. That works just fine (if it ain't broke and all that...), but with Force Awakens drawing fair criticism for being a New Hope clone, let's hope Episode VIII manages to distinguish itself from Episode V.
