Star Wars: The Last Jedi footage reveals opening dialogue

The first footage from Star Wars: The Last Jedi has revealed the movie’s opening dialogue exchange between Luke and Rey.

Disney screened the footage to a select audience in Denver, previewing what happens straight after the end of The Force Awakens. According to LA Times reporter Daniel Miller, the new clips show Rey handing Luke his lightsaber as he asks her “Who are you?”:

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.

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

Disney chairman Bob Iger was also in attendance and described the film as “a perfect chapter in the iconic Skywalker family drama.”
