After previously releasing a short trailer back in April, a two minute 34 second trailer landed over night and it already has nearly six million views on YouTube.

The Last Jedi picks up the story from The Force Awakens, and we get to catch up with Rey (Daisy Ridley) as she trains with Mark Hamill's Luke Skywalker. Meanwhile the Resistance is fighting back against a renewed wave of First Order attacks, with Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) feeling particularly vengeful.
