Entertainment Weekly has unveiled a smattering of new The Last Jedi film stills, and they tease a number of plot points from the forthcoming Star Wars installment.

One shows Rey, portrayed by actress Daisy Ridley, at the ruins of the first Jedi temple. Another shows her approaching none other than the O.G. Jedi Master, Luke Skywalker, who appears disheveled and to be in hiding.

John Boyega makes his return as new hero Finn, and Chewbacca gets friendly with a “porg,” which EW describes as a “puffin-like [creature] from the island of the first Jedi temple are cute, cuddly, and vexing to Wookiees.”
