Okay, there are only certain types of situations in which I like to say, “I told you so.”
This is one of them.
I’ve been saying for weeks – most recently on Episode 1,116 on July 24th – that we were going to get a bunch of new reveals about The Last Jedi from Anthony Breznican and Entertainment Weekly when their Fall 2017 Movie Preview came out in the first half of August. And that I was betting The Last Jedi would be on the cover. Honestly, it’s like predicting that it will snow in January in New Hampshire, but still. It’s nice to be proven right.
Breznican, in one of the videos accompanying the deluge of information released yesterday, says that we’ll be getting about eight articles about various aspects of the movie, and four of them have already been released:
Can Rey save Luke Skywalker from his own darkness?
With Finn and Rose, a ‘big deal’ is redeemed by ‘a nobody’
Meet the porgs and ‘The Caretakers’ from Luke Skywalker’s island
Supreme Leader Snoke emerges with elite Praetorian Guard
Not to mention, of course, the new photo gallery.
On today’s podcast, I’ll be recapping all the new information we learned from the first day’s reveals, and over the course of the next few days, I’ll be digging deeper into the individual articles – exploring what they reveal, and what they suggest for the next chapter of the Star Wars saga.
