downzy Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I like it... We don't really know what the title implies. Are they speaking of Luke, or will he train Rey to become the last Jedi? And if Rey ends up being the last Jedi, does that hint at the endgame of the series, where both the jedi and the sith no longer exist in the Star Wars universe? If Rey, with Luke's assistance and training, takes on Ren and his master, does the "force" itself end? Very excited for the next film.

I view it as a title for Luke because he is the last Jedi right now. I think they will work to rebuild the Jedi. The title can mean so many cool things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downzy Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I don't know a very deep knowledge of Star Wars canon and the backstory behind the Jedi and Sith, but it seems to me that many sith were at one point Jedi who became disillusioned or tormented into becoming a sith. Perhaps leaving behind the Jedi is the way to end the sith... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sith are currently extinct in the Star Wars world (as far as we know) and second Jedi here and as always could be singular or plural.

Great points here too, though "many" sith were once Jedi is over-stated as I believe that owe current canon Dooku is the only former Jedi who ever became a Sith Lord. Problem is the old EU had a few more but that was wiped from Canon by Disney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the dark side of The Force was always around. And whoever were the founders of the sith were capable to recuit others from across the galaxy.

That's a funny coincidence cause I read on a STarwars forum just today that Restoration of the Republic was the episode 9 title in lucas' rejected document (various details from that document have been leaking out lately). Guess that means you're psychic lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I suggested a few posts ago that they may have gone with the wording "The Last Jedi" as opposed to the more Star Warsian "Last of the Jedi" to avoid making it sound a little too much like ROTJ as a title. Well, I just learned that there is in fact a Star Wars novel called "The Last of the Jedi" so go figure - that's been used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see people complaining about how it's not the most original title, but Star Wars has never really been the most original movie series so for me, it's like, whatever...

Powerage5 Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 The title isn't what I'm most intrigued by - it's the Star Wars logo being in red on the teaser poster. Why go with a different color than the traditional yellow used on...virtually everything Star Wars related? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be red on all the promo material but I'm 99.9999999999999% sure it'll still be yellow in the actual movie itself, and that the crawl will still be yellow as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the original trilogy the bad guys only had little wins in ESB. And in the last trilogy the bad guys won in all of them one way or another. The big win was in Episode III 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Revenge of the Jedi actually would have been a cool title for Episode VIII if only it weren't a previously intended title (and, of course, far too similar anyways). Having slept on it, I can now conclude that I love The Last Jedi as a title. It's blunt, it's to the point, and yet there's all kinds of mystery surrounding it. At the very least, Disney knows how to get people talking. Speculation is already running wild with the title reveal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
