Star Wars: Episode VIII now has a title — The Last Jedi
Entertainment Weekly ^ | January 23, 2017 | Anthony Breznican

What was once Episode VIII is now The Last Jedi.

When cameras started rolling last year on the eighth film in the Skywalker family story, writer-director Rian Johnson used the tongue-in-cheek working title “Space Bear,” and numerous rumors (most of them false) about the possible real title have circulated ever since.

With a name like “The Last Jedi”, it cannot come fast enough.

Yeah, JJ Wars sucks. No interest at all even if he is no longer involved, it set forth a trilogy I have no interest in. I wish fans would be more discerning!!!

Rogue One was the Star Wars I’ve been waiting for since 83!

Storywise, you can’t beat the first three movies. I was always wondering what they would do, like get more than one jedi. But considering Abrams and what he did to Star Trek, expectations are not high.

The title suggests that Luke (and Leia?) might be killed off in that episode. Maybe.

Jedi is both plural and singular.

As noted elsewhere, don’t forget that Jedi is the plural of Jedi.

Let me guess the plot: the Jedi religion is to be destroyed by the Empire, an allegory of the elites’ desire to finally kill off Christianity.

I just hope what i have read in terms of what the script is rumored to contain, is not true. You wont get it from my description. Regular Show ending with hillbilly lgbt weirdness.

Well it is Star Wars, the whole series was built on Mary Sues and Marty Stus. Or do you think it’s a coincidence that the director/ writer and main character have the same hobby, live in the burbs in the desert, and argue with their family because they want out of the family business. Luke S, Lucas, purely coincidence.
