These Might Be Luke Skywalker's First Words in 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'
Luke Skywalker was seen, but not heard, at the very end of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." But don't worry — he definitely speaks in "The Last Jedi."
Disney shareholders were treated to a snippet of footage from "Episode VIII." The video started with Rey (Daisy Ridley) handing Luke (Mark Hamill) a lightsaber, and then cut away. It seemed the tease was a joke, but then the preview continued, as L.A. Times reporter Daniel Miller tweeted, revealing what may be Luke's first words in the film.
"Who are you?"
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.

The teaser also included quick looks at other characters:
Also making appearances in "The Last Jedi" footage: Chewbacca, General Leia Organa and Finn.

And "epic, exotic" locations:
One last thing on the "Last Jedi" footage: We saw all sorts of settings -- mountains, oceans, forests, deserts. Look suitably epic, exotic.

Also, a brief action shot:
More on "The Last Jedi" clip: We saw a shot of an X-wing wobbling mid-air, under attack inside a giant ship. Looked like a wounded bird.

Luke's question to Rey is interesting, though, as it seemingly disproves fan theories about a previous connection between them (she's his daughter, or she attended his Jedi academy). Or maybe he just has a bad memory.
"Star Wars: The Last Jedi" opens in theaters Dec. 15.
