Now that the fervor has quietened down for the moment the cast of The Force Awakens are back in front of the camera with new director Rian Johnson at the helm of Episode VIII. A short teaser trailer was released yesterday to mark the occasion. 

More importantly, there were two new cast additions worth noting. Benicio Del Toro is now confirmed and Laura Dern is also joining the cast. The official Star Wars site announced that newcomer Kelly Marie Tran is on board as well.
