The hero theme of The Last Jedi is also a part of the Finn storyline, with John Boyega’s ex-stormtrooper seriously considering becoming an ex-good-guy, too. But in Part 2 of EW’s cover story, we explore how Kelly Marie Tran’s Rose Tico, a Resistance mechanic, helps pull him back from the brink.

The Caretakers of Ahch-To

These amphibious creatures are what writer-director Rian Johnson describes as alien nuns — a religious order, faithful to the Force, who tend to the ancient Jedi structures on Ahch-To. Read more about them in Part 3 of our Star Wars coverage.

Modeled on the Emperor’s ceremonial watchmen from Return of the Jedi, these crimson-armored bodyguards are more like samurai. More on them (and the tyrant they protect) in Part 4 of EW’s The Last Jedi cover story.
