With the news that a new trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi has been classified, and word that Lucasfilm are skipping Comic-Con in favour of D23, there’s been a lot of expectation that we’ll be getting our second look at December’s hotly-anticipated Episode VIII during the Disney Expo next weekend.
Well, according to rumours from Collider, we will be getting a new look at The Last Jedi, only it won’t be a trailer, but rather a behind-the-scenes sizzle reel.

This wouldn’t be too much of a surprise, given that we got similar sizzle reels for both Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story at Comic-Con and Star Wars Celebration respectively. Still, let’s hope Lucasfilm decide to spoil us and give us both the sizzle reel and the new trailer…
