Since J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens suffered from noticeable similarities to George Lucas’ original Star Wars film, people have maintained reservations about Johnson doing something similar with The Last Jedi, in comparison to Irvin Kershner’s The Empire Strikes Back, though that’s something that Johnson has expressly refuted in past statements.
A new fan poster for Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi has emerged online showing Rey (Daisy Ridley) becoming a Jedi warrior.
This poster comes off the heels of several first looks and character reveals having debuted last month in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of Lucas’ original Star Wars film.
Of course, towards the tail-end of The Force Awakens, Rey had used the lightsaber to fight and defeat Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) in combat.
