Yesterday, we finally found out that the next installment in the main Star Wars saga would be subtitled The Last Jedi, and director Rian Johnson has now teased the movie's opening crawl with a new behind-the-scenes Instagram post, which he captioned: "Felt so good to drop this into the cut this morning."

The pic doesn't actually provide us with any hints as to how the crawl will begin (aside from the main title, obvioulsy), but it's still a cool little tease, and might well be an indication that some more substantial reveals are on their way.

Felt so good to drop this into the cut this morning.

The Last Jedi seems a little on the nose to me. But it could've been worse I suppose.

@StormXmen123 - Yea I know, but all we have is the title right now. So I gotta overthink something.

StormXmen123 - 1/24/2017, 1:13 PM

@Kman - If you look carefully you will notice title is made with English text not Galactic Basic symbols.

To me that suggests Vaders resurection.

First teaser trailer with GOTG Vol 2 in May I hope.

MUTO123 - 1/24/2017, 12:53 PM

@ComicsBornAndBred - Either that or Beauty and the Beast.
