With just two weeks to go until Star Wars: The Last Jedi premieres, it is safe to say that our minds are on absolute overdrive, trying to work out what’s going to happen.

If it wasn’t enough worrying about old friends like Luke and Leia (RIP Han),  The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams gave us a bevy of new and equally beloved characters to care about, and the fates of Rey, Finn and Poe hang in the balance.

And if the previous installment The Force Awakens taught us anything, it’s that no one is safe, not even charming space cowboys.

Whilst spoilers are (rightfully) being very closely guarded by Disney and Lucasfilm, we’ve still been given plenty to work with over the past few months. Star Wars fans are nothing if not resourceful.

We’ve pored over every little tidbit from every trailer and every interview, compiling exhaustive dossiers in our minds as to what might happen, knowing that each and every theory is probably wrong.

But there are still lots of things we do know. For instance, we know director Rian Johnson is almost definitely going to do us proud, given Lucasfilm’s faith in him, which has extended to giving him another trilogy to boot.

And there are plenty of plot points we know too. From Poe to Porgs, we’ve pulled together 15 of the most important facts we’ve gleaned to celebrate each day until the film’s release.

Don your Stormtrooper armor, your Leia buns and your tinfoil hats, because this is your last chance to theorize.

At least Han can’t die twice, right?
