Gad began by saying he didn’t get any information about the film from Star Daisy Ridley, so he was going to bring out the big guns. Just then, President of Lucasfilm Kathleen Kennedy, and writer/director Rian Johnson came onto the stage.
When the host asked Johnson about The Last Jedi, and the current status of the film, the director didn’t hold anything back.
“We’re in post production,” Johnson said of the status of The Last Jedi. “We’re still editing but we’re very far along. It’s going quite well and it’s all coming together.”
This makes it sound like everything is coming along perfectly, and the movie is ready to hit theaters this December.
