    While some of those shots may have been placed at the end of TFA, Episode VIII may pick up right where TFA ends.

    I was wondering this too. If it was from September's shoot or more recent. RJ saying Ep VIII would make someone think it's from this film.

    Loved the side-on shot of Luke.

    So exciting!

    And what a great dramatic close-up of Luke Skywalker.

    I had an idea while watching this:
    • they could pick up where they left off in The Force Awakens
    • and they could also go forward in time for the events in Episode VIII
    There are a few ways they could do this, but, with them not resorting to some otherwise necessarily transitional screen (e.g. "1 Year Later") between this and another scene, they could do this:

    start the film immediately with a short scene with Luke and Rey and some dialogue -- a prelude/mini-interlude of sorts -- and then cut to the Star Wars logo and commence with the Episode VIII opening crawl, as in this example:

    Luke (gesturing to the lightsaber): It's yours now.

    Rey: I don't understand.

    Luke
    : You will. Come. We don't have much time, and you have much to learn.

    Rey follows Luke to the entrance of the First Jedi Temple.

    [cut to the Star Wars logo and opening crawl...]

    STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII
    THEN COMES THE KNIGHT

    While Rey has begun to learn the ways of the Force
    from Luke Skywalker, First Order search parties,
    lead by The Knights of Ren, scour the galaxy
    in search of them...

    Guess she got the part rumored to be Gugu Mbatha-Raw or Bel Powley's? Or do you guys think it will be another role?

    Apparently Luke found "Just for Men". His hair is blond again!

    I don't think this will be the first scene. Unless it backtracks a little bit and shows the millenium falcon flying into Ach To, then it will go from there.

    Laura Dern cast....

    Awaits for Luke's wife rumours to commence!

    For me it shows they are continuing where they left off. Maybe the crawl could focus more on the movements of Snoke and the FO during the time before Rey went to find Luke?

    I really liked the cinema photography in the beginning of the video with the island. I hope that ends up in the movie! And are they re-shooting where Luke and Rey meet?

    Totally agree. I hope an island shot like that ends up in the film!

    I doubt that they re-shot that scene. It just serves as a point of transition for the announcement video.

    I'm going to put a wager down on Laura Dern and Benico Del Toro being Rey's folks.

    No? Non-linear equations? Strange attractions? Dr. Sattler, I refuse to believe that you aren't familiar with the concept of attraction.

    This made me incredibly excited. And to think that we will have another SW movie before this - incredible!

    But, my first reaction was: LUUUUUKEEEE! ♥ ♥ ♥

    Luke, Luke, LUUUUUKE!
    I thought that there was no way that they were going to pick up right after TFA.
    Now though... I'd say there seems to be a chance.
