SPOILERS: We Finally Know Whether STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI Will Feature A New Death Star
There have been rumblings for a while now that Star Wars: The Last Jedi will feature a new Death Star but some Force Friday II packaging finally provides an answer about what's to come in the movie...
Star Wars: The Force Awakens didn't feature a Death Star but The First Order did utilise the Starkiller base, a planet capable of even more destruction than those moon sized weapons ever were. Well, with that now destroyed, it's been confirmed that Star Wars: The Last Jedi is going to feature a third Death Star and it definitely bears a striking resemblance to previous versions. So, what role will it play?
We don't know but it's possible The First Order will have several of these, especially as the technology used here arguably pales in comparison to what the Starkiller base used in the last Star Wars movie.
On the other hand, given Kylo Ren's obsession with his grandfather, it's plausible that he's built this as his home (that is the villain's new TIE Fighter speeding away from it in the image below). We'll just have to wait and see but this reveal adds a very interesting new wrinkle to the highly anticipated release. What do you guys think? As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts and theories down below.
