For a trailer so brief and so purposefully vague, there's a lot to unpack in the first glimpse of Rian Johnson's 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi.' Here are some highlights from the new trailer, and the questions they raise for the future of 'Star Wars.'

All right, the teaser trailer for Star Wars The Last Jedi is finally here.
00:07
And you know what that means? Trailer breakdown.
00:10
The Hollywood Reporter's Graham McMillan has done the heavy lifting for us, so let's get into it.
00:15
Here are four burning questions raised by The Last Jedi trailer.
00:18
First, let's talk about this crushed object surrounded by glass.
00:21
It kind of reminds us of the Darth Vader helmet shot in The Force Awakens trailer.
00:24
We can hear the sound of Vader's breathing in the back of the shot.
00:27
Suggesting a connection again, but this time, says McMillan, it almost looks like Kylo Ren's faceplate.
00:35
But why would that be crushed and smoking?
00:37
The balance.
00:38
Next up, could we have a force balancing motif that harkens back to the just revealed poster?
00:44
Here we see someone, maybe Rey, touching what could be a star chart and a modified version of the Jedi Order's logo.
00:51
Says McMillan, could this image give us a clue about what has changed Luke's feelings toward the Jedi Order?
00:57
Speaking of which, it seems like we could get to see more from a backstory scene only teased in the last movie.
01:03
The destruction of Luke's Jedi Academy.
01:05
A cloaked figure standing by R2-D2 in front of a burning building.
01:09
More force backs, anyone?
01:10
And finally, we have Luke's final words.
01:13
It's time for the Jedi to end.
01:17
But why do they have to end Luke?
01:19
Why?
01:20
Is it because the Academy was destroyed?
01:22
Is Luke the bad guy now?
01:23
Has he renounced the Jedi Order himself?
01:26
Is Rey the last Jedi?
01:28
Can I stop asking questions now?
01:29
No.
01:30
Check out Graham McMillan's story at THR.com now for even more mysteries raised by the first trailer from The Last Jedi.
01:36
Mostly, I just want to know when we'll get the second one.
01:39
I'm waiting, Lucasfilm.
01:40
Let us know your trailer take in the comments.
01:42
For The Hollywood Reporter News, I'm Paul Costabile.
01:44
May the Force be with us all.
