The action-packed preview was shown during _The Last Jedi_ panel of the four-day convention — following Thursday’s “[40 Years of _Star Wars_](http://time.com/4738503/star-wars-celebration-carrie-fisher-leia-tribute/ "undefined")” opener — and featured Luke training Rey in the ways of the Force at the site of the first Jedi temple on the planet of Ahch-To. Director Rian Johnson and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy were joined by “surprise guests” Daisy Ridley (Rey), John Boyega (Finn), Mark Hamill (Luke) and BB-8 for the session. A panel focused specifically on Mark Hamill — which may shed further light on Luke’s role in _Episode VIII_ — will take place Sunday, April 16 at 1 p.m. _The Last Jedi_ hits theaters Dec. 15, 2017.
