With this being the second installment in the newest Star Wars trilogy, The Last Jedi will have the ability to reuse many elements that were previously introduced in The Force Awakens.
Lucasfilm has finally released the first trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi and included many new talking points in the footage, including a brand new planet called Crait.
Director Rian Johnson confirmed to EW that Crait is one of the new planets glimpsed in The Last Jedi trailer, specifically the one with a white surface.
As it turns out the new planet of Crait will be integral to the plot.
