Until Disney and LucasFilm release the first trailer forStar Wars: The Last Jedi, which is rumored to happen duringStar Wars Celebrationnext month in Orlando, there hasn’t been much officially released about this movie yet. Until then, all we have is rumors and conjecture swirling around this highly-anticipated sequel, and there are certainly no shortage of these reports. Today we have yet another unconfirmed rumor that claims the nefarious Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie) will have a brand new weapon that fans will apparently love.
One ofMaking Star Wars' sources revealed thatCaptain Phasmawill have a new weapon, although it isn’t clear how she acquired it, or how often she gets to use it. Nevertheless, this unnamed source thinks fans will really love this new spear that Captain Phasma is seen brandishing inStar Wars 8. Here’s what the unidentified source had to say below.
“You are going to love Captain Phasma’s spear inThe Last Jedi. She looks killer.”
When asked if it was a “spear” or a “sphere,” the source clarified that it was, “a weapon, a staff.” InStar Wars: The Force Awakens,Gwendoline Christie’s character was seen brandishing a gun, but now with this spear, we could see her getting into some close-quarters combat fighting.Gwendoline Christieherself teased last year that Captain Phasma “makes a lot of impact” in this new story, although she is not always at the “forefront of the action.” Still, if she does have a new staff, chances are we’ll get to see her use it, perhaps in a confrontation with former Stormtrooper Finn (John Boyega).
Yesterday, we reported that Disney showcased the first footage fromStar Wars 8, which showed supposedly the first line spoken byMark Hamill’s Luke Skywalker in the movie, when he asks Rey, “Who are you?” However, another report today said that line was uttered while Luke was in a cave, and not on the cliff where Rey first met Luke Skywalker at the very end ofStar Wars: The Force Awakens. It remains to be seen if this scene will actually be used in the firstStar Wars: The Last Jeditrailer when it debuts next month atStar Wars Celebration.
One of the other recent reports claims that upcoming reshoots forStar Wars: The Last Jediwill honor the lateCarrie Fisher’s character Leia Organa, after the actress passed away in December. There were reports that the actress still had two pivotal scenes left to shoot inStar Wars 8andStar Wars 9but it wasn’t said where exactly these scenes appear. One scene was her reunion with her brother Luke Skywalker and the other was her confrontation with her son, Kylo Ren (Adam Driver. Hopefully we’ll start getting more concrete details onStar Wars: The Last Jedias we get closer to the December 15 release date.
