The New Jedi Will Rise

But how did it awaken?

 

Rian has already said that the Last Jedi refers to Luke.

 

The thing is though she was with Finn as well. There are two times in the movie Rey does something that Finn asks her about, and both times she can't explain it. The first time is with Finn in the Falcon, and the other time is after she escapes from Kylo. Rey connects to force sensitive people and objects. So far she has connected to Finn, Kylo, the lightsaber, and maybe Maz. The last one I am not sure of. I don't think Maz did anything force sensitive with Rey.This a part so far of how her power works. She is like Rogue from the X-men, except she doesn't drain you, but more so connects with you. When she is touched by objects or people she connects with them. Especially force sensitive ones.

 

You are right!

I totally must have glossed over. I thought for sure you were talking about the last Jedi not New Jedi will rise.

I think certainly think that the new Jedi rising is Rey, or Rey and Finn. I don't think we'll see more students any time soon.

They say the awakening was the cosmic force. As such it might have a macro and micro significance.

Finn woke to take a moral stand and not be the weapon of the 1st Order.

Rey was pulled from obscurity to join the fight and bring back Luke.

Han was out spinning his wheels getting no where. But he is "right back in the mess" as Maz says.

Destiny is back at work.

 

With knowing that TLJ means one, or just Luke. I have rethought what Snoke said and I think he means/knows that there will a new type of Jedi that will rise. Perhaps, one more powerful than the traditional Jedi?

 

Yes, but even Yoda couldn't see Vader telling Luke that he was his father; "unexpected this is."

 

I see your point.

 

Force users aren't Jedi.

 

INT. STARKILLER PLANET - ASSEMBLY ROOM - NIGHT
KYLO REN and General Hux in a dark space, looking UPWARD at
someone addressing them.
We're in a massive and dark ASSEMBLY ROOM. Hundreds of DESKS
in a stadium arc, focused on a platform where we see SUPREME
LEADER SNOKE. Not entirely human, at nearly twenty-five
feet tall. All of him a STONY GREY. Old, wounded, fragile
and powerful, all at the same time.

SNOKE
... Leading them to the last Jedi.
If Skywalker returns, the new Jedi
will rise.


The new Jedi would indicate an order or group. A New Jedi will rise would indicate an individual.

 

Yes it does. If you are talking about an individual in that sense you call them "the".

 

THE is used when talking about something special, A/AN is used when referrign tos omething more general (ie - THE book vs A book).

Snoke said "THE" Jedi, which would mean he was either referring to a specific individual (so he knows who Rey is?) OR he is referring to a specific group. His language tells us he isn't referring to something in general terms but specific ones - does he REALLY know about Rey and who Rey is at this point? And at this point is Rey so definately only the path to becoming a Jedi that that title is interchangable with her name?

 

Tangent - possible title for episode IX Rise of the New Jedi

 

Pretty sure the Last Jedi refers to Ben. He was the last surviving Jedi (and last of Luke's apprentices). The title of the movie has probably a double meaning again. Like Return of the Jedi refers to Luke and Anakin... this time... refers to Luke, who basically renounced of being a Jedi + Ben, who was the last Jedi Luke trained but lost. Look at the poster! It basically spells it out for you.
