Very little is known about the production thus far, and if filming does in fact start this July, it will come several months before Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits theaters, which means that the production may be more secretive than ever, since story details and other tidbits about the film have the potential to become spoilers for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
These rumors were fueled even further by a cryptic comment Adam Driver gave to Larry King during a recent interview, when asked if Kylo Ren would be alive at the end of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Back in January, just days after the tragic loss of Carrie Fisher, a new report surfaced, claiming that the actress still hadn’t shot two pivotal scenes that would appear in either Star Wars: The Last Jedi or Star Wars 9.
For example, Mark Hamill confirmed last August that Luke Skywalker will be in Star Wars 9, which likely means that he won’t be killed off in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
