'Star Wars: The Last Jedi': Snoke's throne room and more in video
A new behind-the-scenes video of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” has been released online. The video shows director Rian Johnson and some of the cast and crew members working. One of the notable things in the video is the throne room set of Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis).
In a video posted on USA Today, fans get a behind-the-scenes look at Snoke's throne room. This will presumably be the place where the Supreme Leader will torture Rey (Daisy Ridley), as seen in the trailer.
The film will begin right where “The Force Awakens” left off, on Ahch-To. Rey can be seen training to be a Jedi in the video. Another interesting thing to note is that almost all pictures and videos related to Luke (Mark Hamill) are set on this planet. Will the Jedi Master stay here in the film?
There is a scene of Finn (John Boyega) and Rose Tico (Kelly Marie Tran) impersonating First Order officers to infiltrate their ship/base. Johnson said he was looking to pose the biggest challenge possible for the main heroes, and for Finn, it was to back to the place from where he escaped. The director pointed out how much courage it would have taken for the character to undertake this challenging mission.
The Millennium Falcon will be back in the sequel. A sequence with this iconic ship and a few TIE fighters is also featured in the video.
Another action sequence is of Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac). Johnson confirmed that Leia (Carrie Fisher) thinks of the dashing pilot as a potential leader in the Resistance. However, the director said the character has to grow more before he can take on the challenges of being a leader. “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” is slated to be released on Dec. 14 in Australia.
