But fans can rest assured that Star Wars: The Last Jedi will will deliver the same traditional three-paragraph update that has been a part of Star Wars since the beginning.
Based on Johnson’s reaction to the questions about the opening text crawl, it was perhaps overly pessimistic to worry that The Last Jedi would contain a different opening text crawl in the first place.
Even after the first three paragraphs roll off the screen and the film re-joins Rey and Luke’s encounter, there’s still plenty of unanswered questions about the beginning of the newest Star Wars trilogy.
While The Last Jedi is expected to pick up from the end of The Force Awakens, when Rey (Daisy Ridley) meets Luke Skywalker on the planet Ahch-To with lightsaber in tow, there remain some unanswered questions from other climactic scenes.
