There’s a fresh leak of The Last Jedi publicity photos out in the wild. They look like unretouched studio shots, and we’ve seen the polished versions of a few already in the wild via book covers, toys and the like… I’d say the actual spoiler content here is mild at best, but they do confirm a few recent Making Star Wars reports.

We first heard the term from Making Star Wars back in April. The concept art may also confirm that some of the porgs have orange coloring – though we can’t be sure until we see them on screen.

As of yesterday, Rogue One became the first Star Wars movie on (American) Netflix. Don’t stream it all at once, kids.
Another Han Solo set shot from Ron Howard! Note Donald Glover on the monitor (again.)
Ron Howard shares another somewhat revealing shot from the Han Solo film – this time with an image of Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian on his monitor.
It took me a few days, but here are some thoughts on The Last Jedi behind-the-scenes reel we got at D23 Expo on Saturday.
Head below the cut and go to the gallery. Note, there are a few references and links to rumors/possible spoilers within! Also, irreverence. But if that bothers you, man are you at the wrong blog…
