As we find ourselves only a few days away from the premiere of ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi,’ the PR hype machine is firing into overdrive for the film. If you’re not feeling inundated with commercials, posters, late-night talk-show cast appearances, and Porgs screaming at you from every conceivable arena, then congratulations, you likely live under a rock – a rock that doesn’t get wi-fi.
Featuring visuals of two of the new locations in the Star Wars universe – casino planet Canto Bight and impending-battle-location Crait, this “Worlds of the Last Jedi” featurette premiered Saturday at the Comic-Con Experience event in Brazil. The video features behind-the-scenes looks at sets and locations created specifically for ‘The Last Jedi.’ Take a peek at the video, provided by EW:
This featurette is a little at odds with much of the imagery we’ve been given about the film so far; there’s long been an emphasis on the light side of the Force versus the dark side, but here the focus is simply on the impressive-looking visuals of the film. It’s a nice change of pace, to be quite honest.
