Will Luke and Leia reunite in The Last Jedi? We've got a good feeling
There are some questions that answer themselves the moment you ask them. Case in point: "Will Luke & Leia reunite?"
That's the query gracing the main cover of Entertainment Weekly's special on the upcoming Star Wars sequel The Last Jedi, hitting newsstands Monday. The magazine doesn't exactly answer this question about the galaxy's most famous twins -- spoilers, sweetie! -- other than to say there's a "still a chance these two could find each other again."
Given that this story was produced with the total cooperation of Lucasfilm, among other pointers from the trailers, we've got a very good feeling about their chances.

We've seen this in action throughout the pre-Last Jediperiod. Director Rian Johnson has expertly set our expectations around the revelation of Rey's parentage, and also told us to prepare for a highly charged -- and definitively final -- performance from Carrie Fisher as General Leia Organa.
SEE ALSO:Carrie Fisher's dog watched his mom in 'The Last Jedi' trailer and I'm not crying, you're cryingBut it isn't just the asking of the question: There was already good reason to suspect the Skywalker twins will have one last scene together -- and it has to do with an iconic, emotional image that dropped in a TV trailer for The Last Jedion November 1.
Luke is seen turning on the lights in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon, appearing there in a functional state of mind for the first time since the originalStar Wars. And if he's in there at all, the Force is strong with the notion that he's on his way to Leia.
SEE ALSO:This new Star Wars experience is as close as you can get to starring in the moviesWhy? Recall that the Falcon landed on the ocean planet of Ahch-To, where Luke has been hiding away since his would-be Jedi Academy was destroyed. Rey, Chewie and R2-D2 had shown up in the Falcon explicitly to return his old lightsaber -- and to bring him home to his remaining family, i.e. Leia.
Luke is afraid of Rey; we know that much from the dialogue in the trailers. He refuses to teach her the ways of the Force, at least at first; he believes the Jedi should end. In another more recent TV spot, he's seen yelling at her to resist the lure of the Dark Side.
REY!Credit: lucasfilmSo if he's on board the Falcon at all, it very likely means he's ready to leave Ahch-To -- and that his misgivings about returning to the Resistance, led by his sister, have been overcome.
Also, a Luke and Leia reunion would certainly meet the criteria for Fisher's performance noted by Johnson. Bringing the pair together one last time would certainly be emotional, intense and joyful.
SEE ALSO:Lucky 'Star Wars' fans got a surprise visit from Mark Hamill during a tour at DisneylandGiven that the movie opens with Luke staring at Rey and his old lightsaber with a face full of haunted emotion, him seeing Leia towards the end with a similar look would bookend the film nicely -- and contain echoes of the ending of The Empire Strikes Back, which The Last Jediis expected to mirror.
The world will find out for sure when The Last Jediopens December 15, but in the meantime we say: search your feelings. You know it to be true.
