EPISODE VIII: A SPACE AGE DAVID vs GOLIATH!

He's either brave or insane. Whatever his First Order enemies think at that present time, the Resistance's boldest and most passionate fighter pilot Poe Dameon plans to make an impact (literally) against the huge and powerful forces that have arrived in the D'Qar system and now plan to level his fellow freedom fighters into extinction.

A memorable moment launching The Last Jedi.

FALLEN EVIL!

Amongst the colorful sunset beauty of Bespin and its iconic Cloud City, a First Order Cruiser falls to its doom in this memorable scene from the near-end to The Rise of Skywalker, as first captured in conceptual art by James Clyne.

EPISODE VIII: ONE MAN WAR MACHINE!

He's stalled for time long enough, now ace pilot Poe Dameron makes an incredible one-man (and droid) X-wing fighter assault on the First Order dreadnought's heavy duty laser cannons - his plan ultimately being the first stage to an even bigger offensive during the memorable space conflict start to The Last Jedi.

EPISODE VIII: NO TURNING BACK!

Their path swamped by aerial dogfights and heavy enemy fire, the remains of the Resistance Bomber Squadron flies on towards the enemy dreadnought vessel, and with their destructive payloads ready, in this great image from The Last Jedi.

EPISODE VIII: CLEARING A PATH!

Another great action shot from The Last Jedi showing Poe Dameron's X-wing speeding across the surface of the First Order dreadnought Fulminatrix, taking out its layers of laser cannons.

One of the great things about these new sequels has been the way we've seen both the X-wing and TIE fighters displaying further agility and adaptability in flight and combat, during some very cool visual moments. Full credit to the filmmakers and ILM.

EPISODE VIII: (HYPER)SPACE COLLISION!

SPOILERS! Way back in 1977, Han Solo warned Luke Skywalker about the potential dangers of travelling through Hyperspace, now writer/director Rian Johnson shows us such a happening, and in a most spectacular (and silently effective) way during The Last Jedi. And ultimately for a worthy cause of good against evil- Amilyn Holdo's self-sacrifice with the Raddus against the First Order's formidable flagship, the Supremacy, as well as taking down some of its smaller vessels...

EPISODE VIII: AN EXPLOSIVE MISSION!

One solitary Resistance fighter doesn't seem a significant threat to the First Order fleet. But when that starfighter is piloted by none other than top flying ace Poe Dameron, then the enemy soon worries, as seen in this explosive moment opening The Last Jedi.

EPISODE VIII: A DECISIVE MOMENT...

With fighter escorts led by Poe Dameron and Black Squadron, the intriguingly designed Resistance bomber fleet fast approaches the First Order's intimidating warships, in this surely spectacular scene to come from The Last Jedi.

EPISODE VIII: THE RESISTANCE STRIKES BACK!

On the bridge of one of the First Order's mighty warships, an explosion detonates around its crew members, in this great behind the scenes shot taken during Pinewood Studios' filming of The Last Jedi.

EPISODE VIII: HEAVY DUTY SPACE WARFARE!

The First Order's space vessels are intimidating enough, but this must be their biggest, more brutal vessel yet in this so far unnamed dreadnought, a squatter and dagger-like redesign of what we've seen with the Empire, making its debut for The Last Jedi, and no doubt amidst much conflict against Resistance ships and fighters.
