The subtitle for Star Wars: Episode 8, The Last Jedi, was announced on Monday. We don’t know who the last Jedi is (though presumably a 90-160 minute movie will inform us in December) or whether a Hutt will appear or much of anything, really. But we do know the title treatment is red.

And now we know something we already knew: Star Wars: The Last Jedi will have a scroll, just as every mainline Star Wars “Episode” does. Director Rian Johnson shared an image from Star Wars: Episode 8 on Instagram. It’s exactly what you’d expect to appear in The Last Jedi:

There’s really not much to glean here about The Last Jedi, but it’s fun to see anyway. Johnson’s caption reads “felt so good to drop this into the cut this morning,” indicating the incredible degree of secrecy Lucasfilm maintains on these projects. They didn’t even include the title in the edit to prevent it from leaking!

Star Wars: The Last Jedi will be out in theaters Dec. 15.
