AceShowbiz - StarWars.com has revealed a brand new image of Daisy Ridley's Rey, John Boyega's Finn and Oscar Isaac's Poe in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi". The image is part of a concept art for the packaging of "The Last Jedi" toys, which will be launched at the upcoming global fan event Force Friday II.
Rey is featured wielding a lightsaber in the image, with her hair interestingly being styled down instead of being styled in a bun like that in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens". Her clothes have an air of traditional beige and black Jedi suit.
Finn still wears Poe's jacket, but instead of having a black shirt underneath, he wears an open-necked off-white one which resembles Han Solo's shirt. Poe, meanwhile, doesn't look significantly different. He still wears his helmet and orange uniform, although his suit is somewhat dirtier.

Force Friday II is starting on Friday, September 1. "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" products, which include toys, collectibles, books and apparel, will be launched in stores all over the world from that day on. Force Friday was previously celebrated in 2015 to welcome "Star Wars: The Force Awakens".
"The first 'Star Wars' Force Friday event was truly unique, uniting fans across five continents in an unprecedented global live unboxing event ahead of thousands of midnight openings at retail," said Jimmy Pitaro, the chairman of Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media. "We're excited to confirm that 'Star Wars' Force Friday is back for 'The Last Jedi'. Plans for this year's worldwide event are top secret, but expect something befitting the excitement around the next episode of the 'Star Wars' saga."
"Star Wars: The Last Jedi" is scheduled to hit U.S. theaters on December 15. Mark Hamill will reprise his role as Luke Skywalker in the movie and Carrie Fisher had finished filming her scenes as Princess/General Leia before she passed away last December.
Other returning cast members include Adam Driver, Lupita Nyong'o, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie and Andy Serkis. Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern and Kelly Marie Tran are among the new cast members.
