    Looks like Rian Johnson's saying "You wanted some Luke? Here's your Luke, beeyatches!"

    I wonder if what they're showing is actual episode VIII footage, though.
    I suspect the shots of Luke and Rey are actually episode VII footage, and then they just cut to Rian Johnson and the crew during the actual shoot for episode VIII on Skelling Micheal... but who knows!

    Anyway, looks to me like Mark Hamill's face on the video says "Lines.... I ... need.... lines!"

    Two Star Wars films into the Sequel Trilogy... Mark Hamill is still yet to utter a single word. Or even a squark of puffin-ese. ;)

    I believe VIII will pick up right where VII left off.

    In the OT, I don't remember a cliffhanger quite like this one, so my belief is that they may be actually changing the formula. I do know R2, BB-8, Chewie were all at Skellig for some shoots with Rian Johnson recently before winter weather got bad and shoots became impossible. I can't see why they would be there if it weren't to shoot some continuity scenes.

    Laura Dern is a great addition to the cast and has quite the range when it comes to showing emotion on screen. I'm sure they will exploit that and give her a character worthy of her talent. We already know that Benicio del Toro is playing a bad guy, so possibly a Ren, a substudy to Snoke, or a new First Order general.

    Nevertheless really really looking forward to VIII.

    BDT and Laura Dern, well played LF, well-played. I'd REALLY like to see either Dern or Kelly Marie Tran play a cool female Dark Side User.
    Dern and BDT could play pretty much any kind of role, they're that good. And Tran have primarily a comedic background makes me kind of want to see her play a villain, or at least a more serious kind of role in general. It'd be a nice change of pace for her.

    Plus it took us SEVEN movies to finally get an awesome FS/potential Jedi female main hero. Now, time for the villains to get their shot, be it Dern or Tran.

    I don't think the movie will start on AHCH-TO and here's why:

    The actor that plays Nien Nunb, another actor who plays a Resistance fighter (name escapes me right now), and Peter Mayhew all missed a convention on the 10th to shoot for VIII. The thing is, shooting apparently started today (the 15th) for John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, and most of the main cast (according to their twitter). If Rian is shooting in sequential order like J.J did, this means that one of the earliest scenes in the movie has several Resistance fighters, and not Rey/Finn. Since Star Wars movies always start in the middle of a battle/conflict, I'm going to say that the movie will open to the Resistance fighting against the First Order/someone else.

    I don't think Rian is going to shoot sequentially. He has a LOT of schedules to manage. Plus a lot of foreign locations to shoot at (Mexico, Croatia, Heavens knows where else). I wouldn't read too far into the plot based on what little we know of the shooting schedule.

    Yeah films are often not filmed in sequential order anyway. I've heard more than a few directors mention filming the LAST scene in their films FIRST!! Also Rian has employed non-linear narratives before.

    Ocean monsters. Underwater caves. Diving. Force fight against ocean monster. A gigantic Puffin Wampa creature.











    Or maybe just Gary Fisher.

    It's Episode VII deleted dialogue re-worked for this trailer. It was cut because it was too revealing for Episode VIII. :)

    This is fantastic. Really creative and well written. I don't like the title, too Batman-ish. But really creative man.

    The other thing I don't like, and its just me because I'm a sucker for tradition, is film pre-crawl, but it would work really well here. Good job man.
