‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ Director And Cast Stopping By ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ On Friday
With December just around the corner, we’re heading into the home stretch for the marketing machine leading up to the release ofStar Wars: The Last Jedi. As more TV spots will be hitting the web, directorRian Johnsonand the cast of the next installment of theStar Warssaga will begin making the publicity rounds on all the late night and morning talk shows, and they’ll be kicking things off in a familiar place.
Since Disney owns both Lucasfilm and ABC, it should come as no surprise that the director and cast ofStar Wars: The Last Jediwill be making their first late night stop onJimmy Kimmel Liveon Friday,December 1. It’s bound to be a bigStar Wars-centric episode since no less than nine cast members will be in attendance. Get more details about theStar Wars: The Last Jedi Jimmy Kimmel Liveepisode below.
InABC’s official press releaseannouncing the guests for this week’s episodes ofJimmy Kimmel Live, the network revealed that director Rian Johnson will be appearing on the show along with cast membersMark Hamill(Luke Skywalker),Adam Driver(Kylo Ren),Daisy Ridley(Rey),John Boyega(Finn),Oscar Isaac(Poe Dameron),Andy Serkis(Supreme Leader Snoke),Domhnall Gleeson(General Hux),Gwendoline Christie(Captain Phasma),Laura Dern(Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo), andKelly Marie Tran(Rose Tico).
WhenStar Wars: The Force Awakens was coming to theaters, the cast and director J.J. Abrams came toJimmy Kimmel Livefor a special episode where they discussed a myriad of topics. Surely the same will be done forThe Last Jedi, and there are far more cast members to talk to this time than there were before. There will probably even be some comedic shenanigans afoot with the cast since Kimmel always likes to have a little fun on the show with his guests.
What we’re really hoping for, though, is to see some new footage. There’s a good chance that we’ll see a new clip or two, but likely nothing that will spoil the movie. If anything good comes out of theStar Wars: The Last Jediepisode ofJimmy Kimmel Live, you can bet we’ll be writing about it right away – especially if they bring porgs with them.
Otherwise, stay tuned to see what else comes from the marketing onslaught that will be turning out more and more hype forStar Wars: The Last Jedias theDecember 15, 2017release date gets closer and closer.
