Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer - 10 Things We Want To See

6. The Old New Heroes In Action

One of the great things about The Force Awakens, and something that helped cover up for any narrative shortcomings, was the arrival of the new heroes: Rey, Finn, and Poe Dameron.

While anything involving Rey is likely to be tied up with Luke, it's less clear where we might find Finn and Poe in the new movie, and definitely what they might be up to in the trailer.

Finn should be back on his feet after his clash with Kylo Ren, and it'd be nice to at least see that he isn't still lying in a near-dead state. Poe, meanwhile, was the most underserved of the trio in The Force Awakens, but still stood out due to his charisma, and with Han gone is now the coolest man in the galaxy (a large part of this is admittedly because of Oscar Isaac).

Hopefully the pair will share some scenes together, because it'd be great to see more of the chemistry Isaac and John Boyega share. But even just having Poe being his dashing self in an X-wing, and Finn serving the Resistance on the ground, would be a good start.
