'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' director Rian Johnson gives peek into opening credits

After Disney unveiled the title of Star Wars: Episode VIII to be The Last Jedi, director Rian Johnson decided to bring back some more memories.

Taking to his Instagram account one day after the title announcement, Johnson posted an image of the latest film from the editing room. The image made one thing certain, the credit crawl will continue in The Last Jedi.

In the black and white shot, we can see a technician, possibly someone from the editing staff, working their magic. In a brightly lit corner, there is an R2D2 replica overseeing the work.

Johnson captioned the image, "Felt so good to drop this into the cut this morning." Well, it felt so good to see this happening.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi will pick up where The Force Awakens left off. Mark Hamill's Luke Skywalker will be back for this installment. This is the last Star Wars movie Carrie Fisher worked on before succumbing to cardiac arrest on December 27, 2016.

Benicio del Toro, Laura Dern, Kelly Marie Tran, are the new additions to the cast which already has John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Domnhall Gleeson, Gwendoline Christie, Lupita Nyong'o and others reprising their roles.

The movie is set to release on December 15 in the US.
