During the 4th inning of Game 7 of the World Series between the Dodgers and Astros, a brand new TV spot for "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" dropped on unsuspecting audiences nationwide.

While echoing parts of the second trailer for the next "Star Wars" flick that landed in early October — like when Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) emphatically declares that "This is not going to go the way you think" — we are treated to a few tantalizing new shots, at least once of which will hit "Star Wars" fans right in the nostalgia feels.

The bit I'm referring to is when we see Luke enter the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon for the first time in what has to be a while — recalling a similar moment from "The Force Awakens," which highlighted one of that movie's trailers, in which Han Solo says "Chewie, we're home" as he steps foot on the Falcon for the first time in a while.
