It's official: The title of the next Star Wars movie will be Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The title was announced via Star Wars' website this morning.

It's a title that will open up a lot of speculation as to who, exactly, it's referring to: Luke Skywalker, who reappeared at the end of 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens, maybe? Or perhaps Rey, who showed some affinity with the Force herself in the same movie? The movie's logo also begs the question "What's with the red?" For now, no one is saying anything—but the title reveal might mean that we're closer to the first trailer for the movie than many suspected.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi, written and directed by Rian Johnson, hits theaters December 15.
