Disney shared new footage from the highly anticipated “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” on Wednesday, and fans are going wild over it.

The footage — which was previewed during a Disney shareholders meeting — and featured a brief exchange between Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Rey (Daisy Ridley), according to Los Angeles Times reporter Daniel Miller.

“Who are you?” are the three golden words uttered by the original character.

“We just saw more Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ footage. In it, Luke asks Rey, “Who are you?” Then we see her deftly handle a lightsaber,” Miller tweeted Wednesday morning.

The scene picks up where “The Force Awakens” left off, with Rey handing Luke his old lightsaber on a deserted cliff.

“When we last saw Rey at the end of ‘The Force Awakens,’ you remember she had just found Luke Skywalker on that faraway refuge on that cliff on that island,” Disney CEO Bob Iger said, according to USA Today. “We make a point of revealing very little from our upcoming ‘Star Wars’ films, we want to keep it a secret, But we’re making an exception today, showing right after that scene when that lightsaber was handed to its rightful owner. A lot has happened in two years.”

Miller also revealed that Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew), General Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) and Finn (John Boyega) appeared in the footage as well. As TheWrap reported in December, Fisher had completed filming on the eighth installment before her death.

“We saw all sorts of settings — mountains, oceans, forests, deserts. Look suitably epic, exotic,” Miller wrote.

In addition to the cast mentioned above, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleason and Gwendoline Christie are also expected to return for the follow-up to “The Force Awakens,” which is directed by Rian Johnson.

“Star Wars: The Last Jedi” hits theaters Dec. 15.
