Star Wars: The Last Jedi - 15 Biggest Questions We Need Answers To

3. Are We Getting 'Rey Vs Kylo II'?

One of the highlights of The Force Awakens was the lightsaber duel between Kylo Ren and Rey, two fledgling Force-users who combined the showiness of the Prequels' combat with the emotion and intensity of the Originals'.

The pair are only going to get more skilled as the saga goes on, and that certainly whets the appetite for more, but will we get the rematch in Episode VIII?

On the one hand, it could feel strange. A climactic showdown seems very likely for Episode IX, which will bring this story to a close, so there might be a feeling of having a break between the two.

On the other, the trailer is certainly edited to suggest a fight in this movie - so the shots of both of them with lightsabers ignited - although that's not confirmation of anything. But with Kylo Ren looking likely to go to Ahch-To, the stage could be set for them to do battle. Maybe Luke will step in instead, or maybe we're going to get a Kylo/Rey trilogy in this New Trilogy.
