Walt Disney Pictures has added Star Wars: The Last Jedi to their "For Your Consideration" page, illustrating they will be pushing The Last Jedi for awards in all major categories. Immediate reactions after The Last Jedi?s premiere were overwhelmingly positive, with several people offering high amounts of praise for writer/director Rian Johnson. That buzz all but guarantees the newest Star Wars installment will score an astronomical opening weekend at the box office when it opens on December 15, but its awards prospects are more up in the air. The studio is definitely confident in the Last Jedi, putting together an extensive campaign for it.
