It’s still 18 months away, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t going to be teased to death on the next STAR WARS film. Director Rian Johnson, who has already shown off several vehicles from the set, but now he has posted a new photo with the simple caption “In the home stretch.”

The robe is presumably a Jedi robe, possibly Luke’s, Rey’s or a third party we are yet to meet. Of course, this is the kind of speculation that leads us nowhere and may ruin the magic, but that’s never stopped us before.

STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII will open on 15 December 2017 from Disney. Before then, we have Rogue One: A Star Wars Story on 15 December 2016.
