LA Times Daniel Miller posted to Twitter several teasers for "Star Wars: Episode VIII" including Luke Skywalker's first words: "Who are you?" Apparently, this question is directed to Rey (Daisy Ridley), who was seen on Ahch-To facing Luke at the last part of "The Force Awakens." When he was about to speak, the scene was cut-off and the credits started rolling. With Miller's revelation, one can conclude that Luke may not be Rey's dad or master after all. Miller added that Rey handed Luke a lightsaber.
