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

6. The Skimmer Sequence

The Battle Of Crait (the new planet confirmed by Rian Johnson and LucasFilm) looks to be a hell of a sequence, bringing in the new, more fearsome AT-4X "gorilla" walkers and the Rebellion's Skimmers.

Cynics might immediately point to the similarities between the Skimmers and Prequel trilogy pod-racers, but the prospect of seeing them zipping around a salt plane battlefield around behemoth First Order walkers with their smoky red tails (nice nod to George Lucas there) is a beautiful prospect.

Presumably, the Resistance will fall back to Crait - an important mining outpost - and that suggests we'll also see something of the destruction of the D’Qar base from The Force Awakens.
