I suspect they might even open it with a scene depicting Hux delivering Kylo to Snoke.
I could have sworn Rian said that the first scene would pick up exactly where TFA left off.
This movie is going to start right where the last one left off.
Could be interpreted however you like. Also, we’re 11 months away, the edit could change a lot. Rogue One was a completely different movie at this point last year.
