Star Wars: The Last Jedi - 10 Major Reveals From D23 Trailer

2. It's About Family

The last line of the behind-the-scenes trailer falls, fittingly, to the late, great Carrie Fisher, who says:

"It's about family, and that's what's so powerful about it."

Of course, Star Wars is always - in some way or another - about family, and one family in particular. Is this line from Fisher just a more general comment, as in 'the Star Wars family', or more overtly the Skywalkers?

And if it is the latter, what can we glean from that? Is it more of a reference to Leia's son, Kylo Ren? Or could it be a hint towards Rey's parentage? Then there's the possibility, as alluded to earlier, of Luke and Leia being reunited. That would certainly fit the theme of family, and bringing Fisher and Mark Hamill acting together again would definitely be powerful.
