Okay? Good? So, a short montage of footage from Rian Johnson‘s highly-anticipated sequel to Star Wars: The Force Awakens was screened earlier this week at Disney’s annual shareholders meeting that, according to Los Angeles Times reporter Daniel Miller, included footage of many exotic locales, a wounded X-Wing, General Leia (Carrie Fisher), Finn (John Boyega), Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo) and the continuation of that cliffhanger conversation between Luke (Mark Hamill) and Rey (Daisy Ridley)…

We just saw more "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" footage. In it, Luke asks Rey, "Who are you?" Then we see her deftly handle a lightsaber.

This is either a very clever feint to throw fans off of the trail of who Rey is and how she became to be so powerful, or it utterly destroys the countless fan theories that pegged Luke as her long-lost father and/or teacher at the Jedi Academy that seemingly was destroyed by Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and the Knights of Ren (as glimpsed in one of Rey’s visions) and ultimately sent Luke into hiding.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is slated to open on December 15, 2017.
