OH FUCK!

Please don't kill Luke!

Honestly, and I feel kind of morbid saying this, I think Carrie Fisher passing away means Luke is safe. I don't think they'd kill off the original trio especially since audiences are going to be really sad seeing Leia one last time in Episode 8 and then dealing with her loss in Episode 9.

Episode IX: But Wait, There's More!

 

[sleverfunk]

Love the red outline. Hoping movie will be more dark and gritty.

 

[RyanW]

Pretty funny though how we go from Return of the Jedi to two movies later "Oops, they're almost dead again".

Been like that since pre-TFA

Episode 3: The Jedi get butchered.
Episode 5: There's one Jedi left.
Episode 6: The Jedi Return.
Episode 7: The Jedi get butchered.
Episode 8: There's one Jedi left.
Episode 9: The Jedi return.

 

[Surfinn]

Given how the franchise has gone so far, I'll say the title of EpVIII is very likely fake news.

Episode IX:

The Last Jedi II

The Last Jedi Part II

Spoiler

OK enough with the TLOU references now

 

[sphagnum]

Did the SW fandom discover who the fuck 'The Phantom Menace" was?

Palpatine. How was this ever in question? The Phantom Menace is a great title.

 

[Raptor]

Hopefully Rey is Luke's daughter and she dies and the movie is Last of the Mohicans style.

With Luke returned as a Jedi and be the Last of the Jedi.

Circle complete.

"Force. Fair warrior goes to you. Swift, straight and unseen like arrow shot into sun. Let him sit at Counsel Jedi Temple of our people. For she is Rey, my daughter. My fire, his ashes. Your fire, is bright. Now, all my clan is there, but one. I, Luke Skywalker, Last of the Jedi."

Oh my...

 

[TheGameshark]

Ok that red title is legit

 

[LastNac]

Did the SW fandom discover who the fuck 'The Phantom Menace" was?

Palpatine

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I don't think they'd kill off the original trio

They're absolutely going to do that.

 

[Falchion]

"You know, Rey, we really are The Last Jedi"

Can't wait for that part.

Also fucking grammer making this a vague title.

 

[friskykillface]

Don't die Luke

 

[mocolostrocolos]

The force awakens the last jedi in the jungle

Episode IX: "Just Kidding"

 

[michaeltraps]

Yay - this moral black/white bullshit will finally end.

Are Gray Jedi technically Jedi?

 

[Lebron]

Nope. April 13th.

Lucasfilm never does anything all that important on May the 4th, it seems. They don't really have to, because it's more or less a (badly titled) fan phenomena as it is. Everyone's gonna be doing all the heavy promotional lifting for them. Usually if they do something it's really light and fluffy. Nothing strongly tied into promotions.

So yeah, April 13th, you're probably getting the first teaser for The Last Jedi

Was hoping for a surprise Super Bowl reveal, but SWC makes more sense.

 

[lazygecko]

LOL!

These are just from the 80s:

The Last Unicorn
The Last Starfighter
The Last Dragon
The Last Emperor
The Last Temptation of Christ
The Last American Virgin

The Last Mohican
The Last Boyscout
The Last Action Hero

 

[Aselith]

The Last Jedi on Earth starring Tom Hanks

I think it was a joke

 

[Count Dookkake]

The Last Mohican
The Last Boyscout
The Last Action Hero

I don't think you understand how this works.

 

[Dali]

Jedi can be plural too.

 

[Rösti]

I suppose Luke could mantle the role of Obi-Wan as a force ghost. Perhaps you-know-who could as well?

Spoiler

A CGI Sebastian Shaw, could that work?

 

[Woorloog]

Yay - this moral black/white bullshit will finally end.

Are Gray Jedi technically Jedi?

Gray Jedi (as a term) is not canon at the moment (i think, some Lucasfilm guys have expressed disliking the term previously). EDIT Or i may be mixing this with "Dark Jedi".
As a concept, no, they're not Jedi.

Also, Star Wars is built on black and white morality, and even if dips into gray at times, i reckon it won't stray from black and white in the end. Nor should it.

 

[Lifejumper]

Love the red outline. Hoping movie will be more dark and gritty.

I hope not. TFA was the right amount of 'Dark and gritty".

 

[graffix13]

I'm going to take a stab that it means Luke, and that he really is the last Jedi as we know them. Whatever Rey becomes will be part of a new order, or no order at all.

This is what I am hoping.

Vader was the last Sith and Luke is the last Jedi. Rey goes on to create a hybrid of the two orders.

 

[Akiller]

Come here for the TLOU jokes ofc.

 

[BossDarkseid]

If Rian Johnson was gonna kill Luke do you think he'd spoil it in the name of the film?

Maybe

But I don't know why people suggest it means he's going to die when he literally is The Last Jedi.

 

[strafer]

Did the SW fandom discover who the fuck 'The Phantom Menace" was?

Gorge Lucas for making that garbage movie.

 

[JimJamJones]

Neat!

 

[BronsonLee]

This is what I am hoping.

Vader was the last Sith and Luke is the last Jedi. Rey goes on to create a hybrid of the two.

Star Wars:
THE FIRST SEDI

 

[SpaceWolf]

Spoiler

A CGI Sebastian Shaw, could that work?

Oh sweet space jesus, no.

 

[Prof. Bathtub]

Cool. Although the titles seem to be decided later on in the process, so it's relationship with the story can really go any direction.

Vader was the last Sith and Luke is the last Jedi. Rey goes on to create a hybrid of the two orders.

The story group seems pretty against the idea of The Dark Side, But For Good.

 

[Trigonometrize.]

I wish they'd stop calling the series "the Skywalker saga" over and over. This seems very limiting for the future new people coming in wanting to offer up interesting directions for Star Wars.

Anyway, not feeling that title.

 

[JSevere]

wasn't expecting the red logo, looks fucking cool

Kinda funny that two movies after "Return of the Jedi" we're back to "The Last Jedi." they just can't catch a break

 

[Doublesith]

I like the title. Not terribly original, though.

 

[Joeku]

I hope not. TFA was the right amount of 'Dark and gritty".

It's the middle chapter. It's gonna end darkly.

 

[Anth0ny]

don't kill luke



don't kill luke



don't kill luke



they can tease the death of the legend, just don't do it. worked really well in Creed.

The episodes are about the Skywalkers, everything else is about whatever. They can always do future trilogies that aren't given episode titles.

 

[Bad_Boy]

Does this mean finn isnt a force user?

 

[BronsonLee]

I might sneak into an advance screening just to see the fan reaction of Luke gettin' got

Does this mean finn isnt a force user?

Nah he's an L Holder

 

[Surfinn]

Cool. Although the titles seem to be decided later on in the process, so it's relationship with the story can really go any direction.

Rian Johnson said recently that he actually had this title picked a long time ago, I believe in the first draft of the script even.

 

[Trago]

They better give Luke the most badass master Jedi kick ass scene ever printed to film.

And don't fuckin kill him!

 

[Sectorseven]

Death has no meaning in a franchise that features CG actors, and ghosts, and CG ghosts.

 

[Pejo]

It'd be really awesome if Rey dies, and then Luke goes all revenge mode on the empire again. Bait and switch baby!

 

[Orbis Tabula]

I'm not buying this immediate leap to "Luke must die then!" Like other have said, Jedi is a plural noun. Or they could be creating a new group, just like the Sith are gone, but there are still evil forces users.

 

[darkhunger]

The Episode 6 title can be thought of as the "Return of the 'Last Jedi'", since Luke started being the "Last Jedi" in that movie... And technically he's still the "Last Jedi", so it's not that bad.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Oh shittt, red font. Its gonna dark and gritty just like Empire! wow exciting unpredictable

And "The Last Jedi", I think I saw a youtube fan film called the same thing
