    I believe it is some kind of tag...? The picture is of such poor quality that it's impossible to determine.

    Reminder that "Star Wars Kinect" was under George's watch, and IMO all but reduced Star Wars to the level of detritus in the pop culture world. So long as KK doesn't green light anything of the caliber again, I'm fine with her leadership.

    P.S. It seems like your gripes with KK boils down to, "She doesn't tell me what I want to hear when I want to hear it, and she's she's not a filmmaker." It comes off as just a tad entitled and snobbish.

    No, my gripes with KK are more complex and less childish than that, but it's really for the best that the subject be dropped. It's going to take a lot for me to come around on her based on all that she's done, and this is all really off-topic.


    P.S. Only a peasant would question my right to complain about KK and her ilk.

    We really need to move on from this topic, guys. I thought we already had. It's a topic for another thread.

    The Last Jedi news and rumors, ladies and gentlemen. What have you got?

    A little 'safe' for my liking, but better than 'Attack of the Clones'. :)

    The Last Jedi! I like it. Except we can expect there to be books and novels and cartoons that reveal there actually were other Jedi alive around this time :p I kid I kid

    Seriously, though - I actually didn't expect a title so early. But again, free publicity is coming sooner rather than later, and that's a big plus for Lucasfilm.
    Keep in mind that the plural form of "Jedi" is "Jedi". So it could refer to multiple characters. Pablo Hidalgo's playing coy on Twitter about this, so I think that it's likely that there's some degree of wordplay going on.

    That being said, I think it's more an allusion to that line that Snoke had in SWTFA. He was worried about new Jedi rising from the influence of Luke Skywalker. So something tells me that Luke isn't going to be the last of his kind so much as the last of the old, whereas Rey will be the first of the new.

    Luke is the only Jedi, so yeh this is clearly about him. Rey is not a Jedi, just like Luke was not a Jedi at the time of ANH.
    i see two main contenders as to the reasons for the title choice:
    a) Luke signals the end of the Jedi, ushering in a new 'Force-ideology' (the recent Aphra comic series has introduced a new force-sensitive group, Rebels also introduced Bendu, the Whills may very well predate the Jedi, thus their recent inclusions in all forms of material, with Snoke an unidentified 'evil force-user', too +plus who knows bout the KOR) that Rey will oversee once Luke perishes (im guessing IX, though the theory isnt dependent on Luke's death in this trilogy) the point of the new 'force groups' is to make us aware of that veyr fact, there is more than Jedi and Sith in the GFFA and i guess this is trying to expand it.
    im not a very big fan of this idea, although it could make for some interesting paths in future films - it would just be overwhelmingly disappointing that the PT were about Jedi that oversaw a 'millennia' of peace, yet they were wrong all along (more than they already are in the current canon, from TPM onward), and would downplay the importance of Luke, Obi-Wan and Yoda in OT. it also convolutes the very foundation that SW was set on, pure light vs dark sci-fantasy. i personally dont mind the concept of 'grey' but i think these characters should be outliers (such as Jolee from KOTOR) and not the 'ideal' way, especially as the Saga has already cemented certain factors: fear, anger, etc lead to the dark side, as evidenced in all of the films, .

    b) The title was just really liked for its 'The Last Samurai' vibe (as Mark Hamill has said about the title), coinciding with TFA opening crawl 'the last jedi' and Snoke's mentions throughout TFA, too. The title still works even if both Luke and Rey (or one or the other) usher in a new gen of Jedi. Return of the Jedi seemed to be about Luke's return from the devastation and battle lost in ESB, at least thats what the masses think is the consensus- when i always thought that it was the return of the Jedi Anakin from the Sith, thus the very ending scene with Anakin all cozy with Yoda and Obi-Wan. so, there could be some sort of double-entendre going on, but its unlike Star Wars in the episode titles to do this, barring ROTJ. The Last Jedi in this context would be more or less about Luke and why Snoke fears him, Kylo wants him dead, and the heroes/New Republic really want to find him. The Last Jedi is special and everyone in episode VIII is going to be after him, as TFA set up. The Last Jedi is going to do something significant, whether that be terminating Kylo or Snoke, reuniting the New Republic with Leia, telling Rey of her heritage, surprising us with a new secret academy, telling us something important relevant to the First Jedi Temple... who knows.
    i really hope that he isnt downplayed, or the Jedi are going to kick it in favor of a new 'grey' group. the Jedi are and have always been a huge draw for the audience/fans and they have so much potential - both in relation to history (lore) and moving forward with building a new Order. i hope Luke is the one to do this, as The Last Jedi.

    @BigBoss Very well said! I like that they're exploring new possibilities with regards to the Force (ie Bendu, Guardians of the Whills, etc.) but I really hope they don't try to just rename the Jedi and Sith, but essentially have them be the same (KOR being basically the "New Sith"). If they're going to make these groups, go all out and have them be their totally own thing. I'm even okay if these other groups are offshoots or have their roots in the Sith, Jedi, etc., but I would be disappointed if they're just the same thing with a new name. I thought that was going to be a problem in TFA with the First Order and the New Republic just being the Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire, but they actually did a solid job explaining the origins of each group and why they're not just renamed versions with the books Bloodline and Aftermath.

    Luke is the last Jedi, as Yoda stated. Kylo and KOR killed those in training and none became Jedi, including Rey and Kylo/Ben.

    TLJ will be about Luke fighting with his demons from failing to protect those that were killed and whether how or if he trains Rey.

    My gut says that Luke will start to train Rey only for her father (Del Toro, who I think is playing Ezra) to pull her to the dark side because she doesn't finish her training. Kylo will be brought back to the light thanks to Leia and will setup Ep 9 as a confrontation between Ben/Rey and Luke/Del Toro.
