Lucasfilm has worked hard in keeping any revealing details about Star Wars: Episode VIII under wraps; when we last left off, Rey (Daisy Ridley) had located the missing Jedi Master Luke Skywalker on the planet Ach-To. There's almost nothing known about how the film's story will progress, but judging by some recent comments from director Rian Johnson, it appears the focus will remain on character development.
