While we probably won’t see a Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer for another few weeks, likely next month during Star Wars Celebration, the first footage from the sequel was unveiled today. During a Disney shareholders meeting, those in attendance were treated to the first scene from director Rian Johnson’s highly anticipated The Force Awakens follow-up as well as a montage of some other footage.

While this footage is not online and likely won’t be—this ain’t Comic-Con; Disney doesn’t have to worry about piracy issues at a shareholders meeting—we do have a description of what was shown from one of those in attendance:

 

 

 

This is…oddly exciting? I mean I know it’s just a couple of tweets, but there’s something about a scene of an X-Wing wobbling like a bird that reminds me Rian Johnson conceived this movie. Indeed, while The Force Awakens and Rogue One both went through script rewrites by other screenwriters, The Last Jedi was written and directed by one person: Rian Johnson. While that was both a gift and a curse for George Lucas on the prequels, films like Brick, Looper, and The Brothers Bloom show Johnson’s knack for character and narrative, as well as his versatility. This is the guy responsible for helming the best episode of Breaking Bad ever, and he’s directing a Star Wars movie. That’s exciting!

So yeah, this is but a taste of what may or may not be included in the first trailer for the film, which again is likely to debut at Star Wars Celebration in mid-April. That’s no doubt the schedule we’re on now as The Force Awakens was a special case—as the franchise-starter, it made sense to unveil that trailer over a year before its release. But with Rogue One still lighting up the box office in December, January, and February, Disney and Lucasfilm didn’t want to overshadow their most recent Star Wars movie by promoting the next one. Although the Han Solo movie poses an issue as that hits theaters next May, a mere six months after The Last Jedi.

So stay tuned, folks. It’s close. Star Wars: The Last Jedi opens in theaters on December 15th.
