New Star Wars: The Last Jedi Synopsis Seemingly Confirms Rey Turning To The Dark Side


There was a lot of speculation that Rey (Daisy Ridley) might turn over to the Dark Side in Star Wars: The Last Jedi after Lucasfilm rolled out the very first full trailer to the sequel trilogy installment early in October.

Now, the new Japanese website for The Force Awakens sequel seemingly confirms this theory, hinting at the similarities Rey has with Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), dealing with both the Light and Dark Sides of the Force in the movie.

Yesterday, the official Japanese website of The Last Jedi posted a new synopsis of the movie after the release of film's new Japanese trailer and poster, and Tumbler user Sakurau211 (via Comicbook) managed to post a translation of the description.

"The Light? The Darkness? Rey and Kylo, two people who seem to move between the two; a new shocking development is hinted to await them in Star Wars - The Last Jedi.

Although the world was shocked to see that the hand offered to Rey belonged to that of Kylo Ren, what awaits Rey and Kylo is the question of "The Light? Or the Darkness?" as together they are tossed and moved by the powerful Force.

Rey, who, even though in the previous film ‘The Force Awakens' awakened the Force, carries a sense of being lost and unsure; will she be taken away by the darkness…. Kylo, who killed Han Solo, despite the fact that he was his real father; will the hopeful small amount of light that still remains in his heart be able to undo the darkness!?

These two figures who seem to resonate with each other; we cannot take our eyes off of them!!"

Director Rian Johnson and the cast of The Last Jedi have all been saying that The Force Awakens sequel would be a darker installment in the Star Wars franchise, and it seems like this synopsis seems to hint at the same dark spiral. No one's really perfect, and Rey could toy with the idea of joining the Dark Side in The Last Jedi. The only question now is whether she'll fully join the Dark Side, or whether she'll return to the Light.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi premieres on December 15, 2017.
