The teaser also points to the fact that in Episode VIII will pick up right where VII left off, with the two face-to-face for the first time. In the brief trailer, writer and director Rian Johnson welcome the cast and crew back to the set, to continue the Star Wars saga:

David is a lover of all things nerdy & geeky! (Nerd IS the new cool after all!)
From the wee age of 6 he made his way to a Canadian Tire, purchased a SNES for $200 in in-store credit money (Canadian Tire money for Canadians out there), and hasn’t looked back!
He loves the classics like Donkey Kong, Mario, and Roller Coaster Tycoon, but is deep into the new age of gaming with Heroes of the Storm, Apex Legends, and indies like Thomas Was Alone, and Mark of the Ninja.
