It was said about The Force Awakens that it emulated many of the same beats that made A New Hope the great movie that it was. Well, if this new promo material is any indication, The Last Jedi sounds like it'll be looking to The Empire Strikes Back for a little narrative punch. According to a new post, found by Star Wars News Net, The Last Jedi will supposedly feature "The Most Shocking Truth In Star Wars History."
Here are the poster and translation as provided by The Cantina user Niamor.
Translation:

December 15. Be ready for the shocking truth surpassing the previous stories!
Old school traditionalists will find it hard to believe that anything The Last Jedi pulls can possibly top "I am your Father," but we'll see. Obviously, Rey's parentage, Supreme Leader Snoke's identity, the Knights of Ren, and what Luke Skywalker has been doing for 30 years are big points of speculation could very well be what the poster is referring to.
Then again, it's advertising, so of course, it's going to be hyped up regardless of the end product. What is the poster supposed to say? "Hey, The Last Jedi is good, but we can't top Empire, so don't let your expectations get away from you?" Pfff. They've got to sell those tickets.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi releases in theaters on December 15th, 2017.
