About The Upcoming Film

In the film Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) lives a peaceful and solitary existence that is upended when he meets Rey (Daisy Ridley). Rey is a young woman who shows strong signs of the Force, a Jakku scavenger, a toughened survivor by living on a harsh desert planet. When the fugitive droid BB-8 appeals to her for help, Rey finds herself in a galaxy-spanning conflict. The film is directed by Rian Johnson, with music by John Williams, and produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Lawrence Kasdan, Ram Bergman, and Simon Kinberg. The full cast list can be seen here. The film, which was started February 2016 has just recently completed post-production, par for the course as it has many visual effects. Another trailer is set to air during Monday Night Football on October 9th. Who do you believe the last jedi will be? Check out the potentials below and stop by your local Halloween Club for all of your gear if you haven't already.



1. You are a Jedi, like your father before you.

According to the general knowledge film synopsis, in the new movie, Luke Skywalker's peaceful and solitary existence gets upended when he meets Rey, a young woman who shows strong signs of the Force.

2. Order Rey's complete look.

Rey is a Jakku scavenger, toughened by life on a harsh desert planet. When the fugitive droid BB-8 appeals to her for help, Rey finds herself drawn into a galaxy-spanning conflict. Despite dismissing herself as "no one," she learnt that her life is being shaped by the mysterious power of the Force.

3. Order Princess Leia's complete look.

Since Carrie Fisher's tragic unexpected death in December, "The Last Jedi" will mark her final performance as Leia Organa, who went from orphan to princess, to spy, to senator, and finally general of the Resistance.

4. We find any lack of faith disturbing.

Following his near-fatal duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader received a mobile life support system encased in a suit of distinctive black armor. We encourage you fans to go all out with this costume - we even have the breathing device.

5. Keep calm and support the stormtroopers.

The influence of stormtroopers has reached beyond the Star Wars Expanded Universe, with stormtroopers becoming cultural icons worldwide. Their popularity only continues to grow.

6. "RRRAARRWHHGWWR!"

This Chewbacca moving mouth mask is effectively furry and realistic. Here is a tutorial to pull off a proper Chewbacca growl. For the ladies, a Chewbacca rhinestone dress would be most stylishly accessorized by some furry legwarmers. Most fierce. Here are some best-selling items!

7. Reliable robots are not for granted.

Everybody loves a loyal robot. BB-8 was added during "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." In "The Last Jedi," BB-8 is matched against an evil version of itself.

8. Yoda is one of the most loved characters from the Star Wars franchise, revered for his wisdom.

Yoda fans are still scrutinizing the trailer and speculating as to whether Yoda will appear in "The Last Jedi"... as a ghost?

9. B is for Bantha.

Finally, don't forget this ridiculous Bantha Rider Pet Costume for your pet bantha. Banthas are large elephant-sized mounts, with long furry tails, native to the planet of Tatooine. Lucky for us, they have been easily domesticated.
