Since Star Wars gave us a small glimpse at December’s new saga film, we’ve got a list of 10 things we really want to see happen in The Last Jedi.

While I feel like I’ve been a Star Wars fan my entire life, this is the first time in my adult life that I’ve been a member of the franchise while they were releasing new films.

Will the film copy its predecessor The Empire Strikes Back like The Force Awakens followed A New Hope? What does Rian Johnson’s artistic vision bring to the table?

Because the ad campaign is still in its early stages, we know nothing and must only feed on speculation. Thanks to The Last Jedi trailer, we have just slight idea of what’s in store.

Here it is again, just because:

So, on that note, here are 10 things we want to see happen when Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits theaters later this year.
