New Star Wars: The Last Jedi promo promises "The most shocking truth in Star Wars history"

If you want the scoops on Star Wars: The Last Jedi then, as it turns out, it’s best to go East. A leaflet advertising next year’s Star Wars movie has possibly revealed a few more details about just what’s going to go down in Episode 8 – including ‘The most shocking truth in Star Wars history’, whatever that means.

For those not skilled in Japanese (you and me both), StarWarsNewsNet is carrying a fan translation of the promo material, with the tagline ‘The most shocking truth in Star Wars history will soon be revealed!’

Something to do with Rey’s parents, perhaps? Or will we finally found out who Snoke is? Either way, that’s a pretty bold statement coming from the franchise with the most shocking familial reveal in recorded history.

The leaflet also mentions Leia, Poe, Finn, and BB-8 going on a new mission, which should serve as a pretty cool B-story while Rey and Luke get the Jedi training montage going.

The full translated text (with thanks to Niamor) is below:

The Most Shocking Truth In Star Wars History Will Soon Be Revealed!
