I can't f*cking wait for EPISODE VIII! And this is coming from someone who hated EPISODE VII's guts. And these are the two things that get me pumped: 1) the characters were amazing in THE FORCE AWAKENS. I loved Rey, Finn, Poe, and even Kylo Ren (it's just that – in my opinion – the movie they were in was needlessly derivative, overly plot-hole ridden, and shitty), and 2) motherf*ckin' Rian Johnson.
Johnson has vision, and tells unique, dark stories, but always with a twistedly humorous touch (just look at BRICK, LOOPER, or even his episodes of BREAKING BAD). I can't wait to see what he does with the dark "EMPIRE STRIKES BACK" chapter of the new trilogy. I also can't wait to see him actually utilize these new characters to their full potential.
Anyway, Johnson recently posted a photo on Instagram of him behind-the-scenes at the editing bay. Let's take a look:
It's not much, admittedly. But it's still cool to see that progress is being made, and that we should be seeing a trailer soon!
Meanwhile STAR WARS EPISODE VIII: THE LAST JEDI will Force push its way into theaters December 15th, 2017.
