Earlier, star Daisy Ridley, who stars as Rey, said part of the story in "The Last Jedi" is that it can be difficult to "meet your heroes." ''The Force Awakens" left off with Rey and Skywalker meeting on a remote island.

The film hits theaters December 15th. Carrie Fisher, who reprised her role as the iconic Princess Leia in 2015's "Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens," had finished shooting "Star Wars: Episode VIII," when she died Dec. 27 of cardiac arrest at age 60.
