00:00All right, the teaser trailer for Star Wars The Last Jedi is finally here.

00:07And you know what that means? Trailer breakdown.

00:10The Hollywood Reporter's Graham McMillan has done the heavy lifting for us, so let's get into it.

00:15Here are four burning questions raised by The Last Jedi trailer.

00:18First, let's talk about this crushed object surrounded by glass.

00:21It kind of reminds us of the Darth Vader helmet shot in The Force Awakens trailer.

00:24We can hear the sound of Vader's breathing in the back of the shot.

00:27Suggesting a connection again, but this time, says McMillan, it almost looks like Kylo Ren's faceplate.

00:35But why would that be crushed and smoking?

00:37The balance.

00:38Next up, could we have a force balancing motif that harkens back to the just revealed poster?

00:44Here we see someone, maybe Rey, touching what could be a star chart and a modified version of the Jedi Order's logo.

00:51Says McMillan, could this image give us a clue about what has changed Luke's feelings toward the Jedi Order?

00:57Speaking of which, it seems like we could get to see more from a backstory scene only teased in the last movie.

01:03The destruction of Luke's Jedi Academy.

01:05A cloaked figure standing by R2-D2 in front of a burning building.

01:09More force backs, anyone?

01:10And finally, we have Luke's final words.

01:13It's time for the Jedi to end.

01:17But why do they have to end Luke?

01:19Why?

01:20Is it because the Academy was destroyed?

01:22Is Luke the bad guy now?

01:23Has he renounced the Jedi Order himself?

01:26Is Rey the last Jedi?

01:28Can I stop asking questions now?

01:29No.

01:30Check out Graham McMillan's story at THR.com now for even more mysteries raised by the first trailer from The Last Jedi.

01:36Mostly, I just want to know when we'll get the second one.

01:39I'm waiting, Lucasfilm.

01:40Let us know your trailer take in the comments.

01:42For The Hollywood Reporter News, I'm Paul Costabile.

01:44May the Force be with us all.
