However, a new teaser or the first trailer for Star Wars: Episode VIII was not released last month. According to Star Wars theorist Mike Zeroh, Disney and Lucasfilm had a change in plan about the screening of a new footage.

"Initially, they were going to use The Force Awakens teaser/trailer format. It's being said Disney wants to pursue a three-month gap schedule. With a teaser trailer that debut on April 14 and the BTS reel on July 15, the final trailer could be arriving in or around October 14-16," said the theorist.

Zeroh also claimed that Disney might stick to A Rogue One format that had only two official footages, a teaser trailer and a full-length trailer. "Disney did in fact cancelled out trailer B, which was going to be far shorter than teaser one," he added.

Meanwhile, director Rian Johnson hinted at a new cast member for The Last Jedi. During the promotional activities for the movie in Tokyo, Japan, he revealed that actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt has a voice role in the film.
