The Force Awakens seemed to hint at two parallel storylines involving both Kylo and Rey for The Last Jedi; as Rey learns the ways of the Force from Luke on Ahch-To, Kylo will be completing his training alongside Supreme Leader Snoke.
In January, Lucasfilm announced the official title for Star Wars: Episode VIII as The Last Jedi, and the fan community has been buzzing ever since.
The Last Jedi is widely considered the year’s most-anticipated movie, so Lucasfilm is really in no rush to start their promotional efforts en masse.
It will also be quite emotional for fans to see the late great Carrie Fisher as Leia during the teaser.
