    The movie is clearly about Luke. We already knew that. The title totally fits. Obi Wan was the last jedi in ANH, Luke training Rey in Yoda/Obi Wan mode will be the heart of the movie. So Rey will become the next jedi. And then hopefully not the Last again too soon after!

    High ranking folks at Disney/LFL were like...

    "I'll bet you we hit a billion with Rogue One"

    "No way. I'll take that bet."

    "Fine. We hit a billion, you release Episode VIII's title the next working day. We don't make a billion, you get my original signed New Hope poster."

    "Deal."

    I like it.

    Again, it's hard to assume anything when it comes to this.

    Let the Hype begin.

    What if Rey fails in the training and Kylo takes her to the Dark Side? Then Luke is The Last Jedi by the end of the film.

    I'm thinking it's either that or Rey has become a Jedi by the end and so it's plural and that's the twist.

    I've already resigned myself to Luke's character being killed off in either episode VIII or IX, so the title of The Last Jedi works for me. The Skywalker Saga is a generational story and the story can't move on with the original cast eating up the new cast's spotlight. This is Rey, Ben, Finn and Poe's story. The next trilogy will be somebody else's hopefully.

    I'm so hyped! I read somewhere that John Boyega did extensive lightsaber training for this movie too. Anyone know if that is accurate?

    I love this title.

    At face value, it raises no questions. It's a statement, right? Luke Skywalker is the Last Jedi.

    But it could also mean we see Luke die, and Rey is the Last Jedi.

    Or Luke will be the Last Jedi in that, after the tragedy of Anakin/Vader and the loss of his own new Order, Luke will end the Jedi and start a new group of Force users.

    Or Luke dies, but Rey doesn't become a Jedi, instead seeing the faults with such a society.

    Or it refers to both Luke and Rey being the Last Jedi, with Jedi being plural as opposed to singular, implying that Rey does indeed become a Jedi in this film.

    Or, or, or....you catch my drift: this title is genius!

    WOW! I knew I saw this title hidden somewhere! I tried looking up a review on this book but couldn't find anything. Given the sith holocron in the picture and the appearance of the male, I'd make a guess that this has to do with Ezra???
    Also, is this book still canon?

    I've no idea what the book is about, but it's not canon. I'd be surprised if it held any clues about the movie.

    So it's The Last Jedi, eh?

    Well, Kylo, what do you think?

    KK said "probably heading into spring is when you'll start to see things."

    SWC showing the first teaser is an assumption, and the most likely. But no one has officially said "first look at SWC."

    That said, TFA showed it's first full trailer in like mid-October, after JJ had said something to it appearing "well into fall" or something to that effect.

    The first day of spring is March 21st....

    I thought they'd wait a few more weeks and announce the title in February after the "let RO breathe a little" comment, but we're only a month out from RO.

    We have almost exactly three months left until SWC. That's a long time between major SW news.

    They released the RO "teaser" in April and then the BTS thing at SWC (then showed it on TV)....but I think they showed another kind of, special teaser at SWC....


    The only way we see footage before SWC is if they release a teaser for TLJ in one month (or less), then have a second "SWC only teaser" plus the BTS thing they keep doing (can't blame them, they're very cheap to produce...) released to the public.


    I don't think it's very likely, but again....12 weeks with a title and no footage.....a 90 second teaser at the NBA all-star game or the Pro-Bowl this weekend (on ABC & ESPN, respectively, btw....) isn't a big stretch.

    Correction: The NBA All-star weekend will be shown on TNT, so....probably not going to see a teaser then. Rats.

    Man, imagine if they had told us before hand that the title for Ep VIII was in TFA? We would have lost our minds scouring the film...

    ...or someone would have picked up on it rather quickly. Never mind :p
