Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Thursday, December 14 (Various times) | Various locations
We’re pretty pumped for the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi and you should be too! The second instalment of the new Star Wars trilogy promises to expand on the story set by J.J Abrams in The Force Awakens and will continue the saga of Rey as she trains with Jedi Master Luke Skywalker while the galaxy is plunged into further turmoil.
The blockbuster extravaganza will see the return of beloved heroes Finn, Poe Dameron and BB-8 alongside Star Wars regulars such as Leia Organa, Chewbacca, C-3PO and R2-D2 as well as new characters like the plucky Rose Tico in an episode that is already being touted as one of the series’ defining films.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi can be viewed in cinemas all across Australia, including IMAX. Tickets can be purchased at your local cinema.
