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.

One of the reviews I read stated that the reviewer had a new favorite trilogy...

Not the first three (I, II, III from 1999-2003) or the "original three" (Star Wars, Empire, Jedi...) BUT

The last one of the first three (best of a bad bunch, whatever its name was) ... Rogue One ... and finally Star Wars.

Made sense to me.

Can't argue with your logic.

“Leia isnt one, and luke curently still is the last one.”

In the new canon, yes. Leia, still according to the new canon and the old, has the same gifts as Luke. They’re going to have to kill off Leia now that Carrie Fisher is dead.

Star Wars Episode XX - The Bingo Awaits
Hilarity ensues as Luke, deep in the throes of Alzheimer's dementia, uses The Force to pop the buttons off of his nurse's uniforms and win at board games.

I love it when hilarity ensues

It can be a double feature with "Indiana Jones and the Fountain of Metamucil"....

“They are working with her estate to use her image.”

No, they denied they are doing that and if they did do it it would only be for a scene lasting a handful of seconds. Perhaps a death scene or scene right before her ship is blown up - something like that.

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.

Actually it might be reversed. Lucas is apparently a Mason, and the Jedi were originally called the "Jedi Knights Templar," with the Emperor representing the Pope and the EMpire the Catholic Church. But who knows.

“Star Wars: The Torture and Dismemberment of Jar Jar Binks.” I prefer the radio play version......

Part I : The beginning.....

"Are you Jar Jar Binks?"

"Yes".

*PUNCH* OW! *WHIP* AAAAAAAAAGH! AAAAAAAAAAGH!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! *SOUND OF CHAINSAW* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

Is the title referring to Luke? According to Episode VII, “The Force Awakens”, he would be the last Jedi left, and that episode ended with the heroine locating Luke and offering him his lightsaber.

(I suspect we’ll find out she’s his daughter.)
