Star Wars - The Last Jedi - Who is flying the Falcon?

Since a couple of weeks several trailers for "The Last Jedi" have been released which for the most part always show the same scenes; which are sometimes recut to either show us a bit more of a certain scene, even if it's just a closer look at something ( like Kylo Ren's face f.e.). But some of the recently released smaller trailers even include new scenes which haven't been seen before. Like with the new trailer, called "Awake" ( watch the trailer below) where we see new scenes which show the Millenium Falcon. Especially one small scene was revealing to me. Which shows Luke standing in the cockpit of the Falcon seemingly switching it on. And while doing that he's looking around in amazement like he's just having a big flashback.

The Millenium Falcon has been featured in all the trailers. But so far we haven't seen who is actually flying it. There is this short sequence where we can see Chewie sitting in the cockpit roaring, while a new companion is sitting right next to him. A tiny Porg. A birdlike resident creature of Ahch-To, Luke's hideout. But Chewbacca is as usual sitting in his co-pilot chair. The one who is actually flying the Falcon has not been revealed yet. Most people automatically assumed that it must be Rey who is flying it. Because after Han's death she seemed to have taken over the pilot's seat. But now with the new trailer there seems to be another option.

As already mentioned in a previous article storyleaks have suggested that Ahch-To will get attacked by the First Order. There is also a scene in the very first trailer where we see Rey running as if she's going to attack someone with her light sabre. Is she about to fight First Order-troops? If that'd be the case then Kylo Ren somehow found out about Luke's whereabouts. This would mean that he got the missing part of the map which shows Skywalker's location. As we all know by now BB-8 has that map. So somehow it got into the hands of the First Order. We may see how that happens in "The Last Jedi". There is also the scene which shows Rey being in Snoke's throne room, possibly being tortured by him. That would mean that she gets captured.

Will Rey get captured by the First Order?

Ok, let's assume that this all will take place. Then seeing Luke entering the Falcon's cockpit would only mean one thing. He will fly it together with Chewie as his co-pilot.

Will Luke fly the Millenium Falcon?

In any case. All scenes which featured the Millenium Falcon in the new trailers suggest that it's being piloted by a very skilled person whose pilot skills could be akin to that of a Han Solo.All in all we only see the Falcon flying around on Crait. So far there haven't been any scenes which show Rey being rescued. Unless Finn, Rose and DJ are about to do that while going undercover dressed in First Order uniforms. So this would mean that Luke will join the Resistance and help them fending off the attack of Kylo Ren's troops on the Resistance Base on Crait.

Will Kylo Ren save Rey?

The trailer for "The Last Jedi" has been released last week and apart from it looking awesome and making appetite for more, it also leaves a lot to speculate about.There are a lot of scenes which seem to suggest that the movie might take this or that turn but it's really hard to tell because the trailer might be misleading by the way the scenes have been put together.

For example there is this scene at the end of the trailer which kinda makes you go "Woah!". Because you can hear Rey saying "I need someone to show me my place in all this". Then it cuts to Kylo Ren who seems to offer her his hand. Suggesting that he might be that someone who is willing to help her showing the way. Although it seems like both could be in the same scene, because of the background and the same dark lighting, it might be that both scenes with Rey and Kylo could belong to totally unrelated scenes althogether and that Kylo is reaching out to someone else.

But let's stick to the theory that Kylo might indeed offer Rey his help. Before said scene we can hear Snoke saying "Fulfill your destiny" (It's not clear if the audio really does belong to this scene or to another one). And it seems like he's either torturing or mind-scanning Rey (who doesn't seem to enjoy it very much). So at some point in the movie Rey is getting captured by the First Order or by Kylo himself and brought to Snoke who might try to turn her to the dark side as he did with Ren.

Rey seems to get tortured by Snoke.

It's being rumored that Luke's hideout on Ahch-To will be attacked by Kylo and the first order. Maybe that's where she's getting captured. Or she's simply out for revenge and trying to confront Snoke by herself for some reason. Like it's been in "The Empire Strikes Back" where Luke leaves Dagobah, also basically untrained, to face Vader.

Snoke's headquarter seems to be on a giant star destroyer. So Rey would need help from someone who'd be on the ship in order to be able to escape. Maybe it's indeed Kylo/Ben Solo who will help her because he realized that Snoke is about to drop him for Rey. So he's changing his mind, frees Rey and both escape somehow.

It looks like Luke is rather hesitant if not even unwilling to train Rey because he fears he can't tame her "raw strength" as it's been with Ben Solo. And he fears to fail again as Obi Wan did with Anakin. So what are you left to do if you need to know about the ways of the Force and the one master you were seeking out is letting you down? You are looking for another master or at least for somebody who knows more about the Force than you do. This would then possibly be where Snoke and Kylo could come into play. In "The Force Awakens" the Supreme Leader already told Ren to bring Rey to him. Maybe he already sensed that she could become a very powerful Jedi. Maybe she's even more promising than Kylo Ren himself. And that might be when Kylo realizes that he'll get dropped by Snoke and decides to take Rey with him instead and teach her the ways of the Force by himself.

Kylo Ren seems to offer someone his help here.

In a more recent interview Mark Hamill stated that in "The Last Jedi" we'd get to see a little more of Luke. His role in "The Force Awakens" wasn't much more than a cameo to say the least. Does this suggest then that he won't have many scenes in the movie? Will he just test Rey to see how much she's already able to use the Force and then decides that he doesn't want to train her? Does this also mean that he won't leave his planet to support the Resistance in their fight against the First Order? Some behind the scenes footage which shows him together with Carrie Fisher like they'd be together in a scene could suggest otherwise. But you never know.

In the upcoming movie the whole subject of the Jedi seems to take another turn. Like they want to leave the path of the good and bad Force users. That they want to create some new venue. There's the concept of a so called "Gray Jedi" who neither aligns with the dark nor with the light side of the Force (like the older Ahsoka Tano?). Maybe Rey and/or Kylo will go down that path after both have been let down by their masters? A lot of questions which need to be answered. And am looking forward to see if the movie will explain anything or if it will even leave us with more questions.

New Outfits for Rey and Kylo Ren in Star Wars VIII - What could it mean?

The following is pure speculation.

Recently new outfits for Rey and Kylo Ren have been revealed which seem to have a slightly different style now for Star Wars 8 than the ones they used to wear in "The Force Awakens".

Rey's dress reminds us of the classic Jedi robes we are familiar with from the Prequel Trilogy. It's got kinda the same earth colors as the robes of  Qui Gon Jinn or Obi Wan Kenobi.

Rey's outfit is akin to the classic Jedi robes..

Kylo Ren though is still prefering a very dark outfit. Unlike the one he was wearing in Star Wars 7 he seems to prefer a Vader-like cape now over a cloak. The rest of his outfit seems to have been inspired by Luke Skywalker's dress from "Return of the Jedi" and/or Anakin Skywalker's outfit from "Revenge of the Sith". So a very dark appearance.

Kylo's outfit reminds of Anakin's and Luke's outfit.

Does the change of outfits indicate the progress both characters have made? During the teaser/trailer for "Star Wars VIII - The Last Jedi" Luke says that "It's time for the Jedi to end". To me this sounds like he'll be very hesitant training Rey in the Jedi-ways. In his mind he possibly thinks that he failed to continue the legacy of the Jedi because his former apprentice, Ben Solo aka Kylo Ren, turned to the dark side and slaughtered all his other padawans. He possibly feels that he's the last jedi and that there won't be any more, because he's not such a good Jedi Master and doesn't want to fail again. During the first half it's possibly on Rey to convince him otherwise. Her brown Jedi-like outfit could mean that she wants to continue the Jedi legacy.

With Kylo it could be totally different though. Anakin's black outfit in "Revenge of the Sith" was possibly an indicator for that he'd turn to the dark side in that episode. Although Luke was wearing a quite similiar dress in "Return of the Jedi" it possibly rather indicated his inner conflict. He encountered Vader for the first time in "The Empire Strikes Back" and failed to kill him. Indeed he even had to find out that he's his son. So he possibly didn't know if he should kill his father or if he should follow in his footsteps?

As we could see in "The Force Awakens" Kylo seems to be full of inner conflicts. He's still being touched by the light side of the Force sometimes although he tries to fight it. He wants to become a Dark Jedi and therefore tries to eliminate any light inside of him. That's why he killed his father, Han Solo. Because he represented one of his inner connections to the light side of Force. It could be that his outfit should represent his inner conflict which he's trying to fight. Maybe he will run into situations which will make him doubt about his current course. Maybe there's a chance of Kylo turning against his master, Snoke, at one point of the trilogy. But maybe only to become the master himself.

New Outfits for Rey and Kylo Ren revealed!

Those who pre-order "Battlefront 2" will get special skins for Kylo Ren and Rey. Both outfits can possibly be seen in "Star Wars VIII - The Last Jedi".

When taking a closer look at Rey it seems like her outfit was inspired by Qui-Gon Jinn's dress back from "The Phantom Menace". It seems like she's paying respect to old Jedi-traditions.

Kylo Ren seems to wear a Vaderesque cape now. The rest of his dress reminds us of what Luke and Anakin were wearing in "Return Of The Jedi" and "Revenge Of The Sith". So it has a pretty dark look. It also seems that we will see him more often without his helmet now. Those who watched the first trailer for "The Last Jedi" possibly noticed that his helmet was lying on the floor and it was totally smashed by whom or by what force ever. Maybe he had an encounter with either Luke or Rey. Or maybe it happened during training with his master Snoke..

First scene of "The Last Jedi" has been revealed (humor)

SPOILER ALERT!! 

At the end of "The Force Awakens" we see Rey finding Luke in his solitude on a water planet called Ahch-To. Unfortunately that scene was very short and we only see Luke staring at Rey without saying anything. Many people were disappointed about that. Because many hoped to see Luke back in action again. As it seems in "The Last Jedi" it won't be much different.
