Just like Yoda trained Luke in The Empire Strikes Back, The Last Jedi looks to revolve around the mentor/student relationship between Luke – now in the role of teacher – and Rey. To illustrate this, the latest issue of Empire features a gorgeous alternate subscription cover which is an almost literal representation of the characters passing the torch.
The composition of the image is presumably inspired by the final shot of The Force Awakens, which was Mark Hamill’s first appearance as Luke since 1983’s Return of the Jedi and saw Rey tracking him down to the backwater planet of Ahch-To to offer him his old lightsaber back.
A nice touch here is the rainbow running through the sky. We might be reading into it too much, but could it suggest that the future is beginning to look brighter? After all, with Luke back on board, the First Order’s time could be up.
