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.

Watch full video here:

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:

In a Galaxy where First Order and the Resistance are fighting against each other in a war, the heroine, Rey, had the Force awaken within her.

What will happen to the galaxy when Rey and the only remaining Jedi knight, Luke Skywalker, meet?

Kylo Ren has fallen to the Dark Side of the Force and killed his father, Han Solo. As a successor of his grandfather, Darth Vader, and a high ranking enforcer in the First Order, where will his ambition lead him to?

Senior Entertainment Writer

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
