Big news for Jedi and Sith alike

Joshua Barrett, Reporter

New Star Wars trailers have released, and Star Wars fans are beaming. A new trailer for ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ has just dropped, and with it, a ‘Star Wars: Battlefront II’ trailer. For those of you who are out of the loop, ‘Star Wars: Battlefront II’ is the second installment in the ‘Star Wars: Battlefront’ game series. The first ‘Battlefront’ title launched alongside ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ in 2015, and the second installment seems to be following suit.

Though we do not have much information about it, ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ seems to feature the return of fan-favorite characters such as Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Finn and Rey. The trailer appears to have more of Skywalker than the entire first movie did, which is a relief to fans everywhere. The story seems to follow Rey’s training with Jedi Master Luke Skywalker.

The trailer for ‘Star Wars: Battlefront II’ seems to give more context, as we know that the story (finally!) will be from the perspective of Imperial Stormtrooper, Iden Versio, commander of Special Forces – Inferno Squad and will begin immediately after the events of ‘Star Wars: Return of the Jedi,’ spanning the thirty years between ‘Return of the Jedi’ and ‘The Force Awakens.’ It will feature characters from the entire ‘Star Wars’ saga, not just the original trilogy as ‘Star Wars Battlefront’ did.

‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ will be in theaters Dec. 15, 2017 and ‘Star Wars: Battlefront II’ will release  Nov. 17 on PC, Playstation 4 and Xbox One.
