A classic whodunnit – the family patriarch is dead; the entire family is gathered in the family mansion; there’s a famous private eye and everyone’s a suspect…
Rian Johnson (Brick, Looper, Breaking Bad [three episodes], Star Wars: The Last Jedi) never does the expected so don’t expect that here.

Darkness Rises Teaser: Star Wars: The Last Jedi!
A new teaser for Star Wars: The Last Jedi aired during the final game of this year’s World Series.
It’s edited in such a way as to move Rey away from Kylo Ren – an edit in the last trailer that had fans thinking that maybe she was about to be seduced away from the light.
Also, the porg made the cut (he’s a wookie, she’s a porg – together… they solve crimes!).
Star Wars: The Last Jedi premieres on December 15th.

More Star Wars: The Last Jedi Fun: First Look Photos!
Lucasfilm has released fourteen images from Star Wars: The Last Jedi and they are as tantalizing as the first look photos for The Force Awakens.
Rey (Daisy Ridley), standing alone, on the edge of the ocean; a barren desert (followed by the same shot except for the spacecraft that may be about to land/crash on it; land vehicles speeding across the sand like something out of Mad Max; Finn (John Boyega) either dead or in suspended animation; Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaacs) running down a ship’s corridor; the Millennium Falcon firing on… something; a burning city; a space armada (then the same space armada with one of its ships burning), and, finally, standing in the entrance to a cave, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill).
