ROGUE ONE: AGAINST OVERWHELMING ODDS!

The legendary Battle of Scarif continues in deep space, of which our Rebel heroes in their small fleet are locked in do-or-die combat against the Empire's ever-expanding forces, in a fortitude of bravery and skill that will determine the fate of the galaxy. Another great effects shot from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

EPISODE VIII: SPACE SLAUGHTER!

The last remnants of the Resistance fleet have already taken a furious pounding from Kylo Ren's heavily-armed, speedy fighter, and his two escorts. But the worst is to come for our heroes, as they suffer further losses from ever-pursuant First Order Star Destroyers in this memorable moment from The Last Jedi.

EPISODE VIII: TIME TO LEAVE!

In orbit above their once home base on D'Qar, the surviving fleet ships of the Resistance (the Ninka, Anodyne and Vigil), flanked by the protective Mon Calamari cruiser The Raddus, race against time to evacuate their personnel and tech before the ominous arrival of the First Order, in the opening scene to The Last Jedi.

EPISODE VIII: LESSONS IN LEADERSHIP!

Tense times loom for fighter ace Poe Dameron and the leader of whom he has so much respect for- General Leia Organa, as the Resistance decimation by the First Order continues during the troubling dramatic events of The Last Jedi.

All dances, smiles and kisses off the set for Carrie Fisher and Oscar Isaac, watched by Marilou Hamill.

EPISODE VIII: STRAINED RELATIONS!

Leia's calming and decisive leadership is much missed, and the Resistance vessels are running out of time and fuel against the pursuers. Now is not the time for a clash of leadership, but Poe Dameron and Vice Admiral Holdo just can't help it, during some noteworthy scenes from The Last Jedi.

EPISODE VIII: INSIDE THE HANGAR

Having just escaped the First Order with the evacuation of D'Qar, the main hangar of the Resistance heavy crusier Raddus is alive and buzzing with activity as X-wing and A-wing fighters return home, during the opening to The Last Jedi. Sadly, it won't be long before the enemy retaliation is swift and numerous desperately needed fighter pilots and technicians are lost forever...

EPISODE VIII: A LAST BID FOR SURVIVAL!

Deep in one of the hangar bays of the Raddus, the last surviving members of the Resistance prepare for swift evacuation to Crait within cramped transport shuttles, hopefully under the protection of cloaking devices, in a busy scene from The Last Jedi.

EPISODE VIII: FIGHTER INFERNO!

He may have gotten Leia Organa's permission to 'blow something up', but Poe Dameron's rush to the fighter bay of the Raddus sees him too late to save the rest of his squadron, and the remains of the fleet's entire fighter protection, from a fiery oblivion. An explosive early-on scene from The Last Jedi, as first rendered in concept from by visual effects talent Kevin Jenkins.

EPISODE VIII:THE MYTH BEARERS...

At Pinewood Studios, London, writer/director Rian Johnson, his long-time producing partner Ram Bergman and Keeper of the STAR WARS Franchise in Kathleen Kennedy go through a sequence being filmed for The Last Jedi set on the Resistance cruiser Raddus. Impressed with Johnson's creativity and amiable personality, it wasn't long before Kennedy would offer him the keys to the creation of an all-new trilogy, featuring all-new heroes and villains, coming by 2020/21, beyond the legend originally created by George Lucas.

Will the trio's future endeavours live up to the standard bearer that is the original legacy?

Time will tell...

EPISODE VIII: DEATH IS NOT AN OPTION!

As the small Resistance fleet takes a pounding, and its protectorate fighter squadrons are lost forever, a bruised and battered Poe Dameron, alongside Finn and Lt. Connix, can only watch in horror the results of the attack on the Raddus bridge, then get to witness a hopeful sight unlike anything they'd ever experienced nor imagined before, during an important moment from The Last Jedi.

EPISODE VIII: A LEADER TO THE END...

It was great to see his prior return during The Force Awakens, but with The Last Jedi we were soon very sorry to see fandom's favourite Mon Calamari leader, Admiral Ackbar, receive a sudden and unexpected demise via the First Order's TIE fighter attack on the Resistance space fleet. No one else will ever be able to say "It's a trap!" in the STAR WARS universe with such iconic delivery as he once did, back in 1983 for Return of the Jedi...
