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

3. General Leia Organa

Princess Leia Force Awakens Star Wars
Lucasfilm

Seeing Leia in the first trailer for The Last Jedi was always going to be a must. The character, now a General, but always royalty, didn't appear too much in the marketing for The Force Awakens, something that reflected her actual role in the film.

Leia will however have a considerably bigger role this time around, and the marketing should reflect that.

Of course, the tragic passing of Carrie Fisher means that this needs to be handled tastefully and respectfully, something you'd trust Lucasfilm to accomplish. Fisher was an important and tremendous part of Star Wars, and hopefully the movie will honour that.

Seeing her as Leia again is going to be emotional, but it should be incredible as well, as the character and the legacy lives on.
