Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer Reactions - 8 Ups & 2 Downs

Downs

2. A Few Too Many Spoilers

It's fairly obvious that there's a lot of misdirection going on in this teaser, and indeed Luke Skywalker basically says "nothing is as you'll expect it to be" as a very tongue-in-cheek nod to that. So calling all of the plot "reveals" in there anything more than hints and playful teases is probably wrong for the most part.

BUT, there are a couple of straight up spoilers that we probably didn't need. The shot of Rey being force tortured would be chief among those teases. It might be an immediately shocking shot that adds a not of intrigue, but it's a little unnecessary in the grand scheme of things and it reveals a huge part of her story (that she's captured).

There is of course the possibility that it's a vision of some sort, but still, it feels a little like a wayward spoiler in a trailer otherwise perfectly balanced on mystery.
