The Episode numbers only gained prominence in the marketing with the prequels. Before then it was just Star Wars, Empire, Jedi. The scrolls had episode numbers, but the titles didn't.
The Episode #s were retroactively given prominence in the titling after 2005. The Sequel Trilogy is reverting that back to pre 99 days.

It could be.
The second we know the official name in Spanish I'll let you know. There's no vague "LAST could be plural or singular" in Spanish. It'll either be "El Último Jedi" or "Los Últimos Jedi". If its the latter we'll know its meant to be plural.

Bye bye Luke, huh?
Well, it's a title I guess. I wish they were a little more creative, though, I guess.

But I have already seen Doomsday on the big screen.

Going to be fun watching Rey be trained by luke. Honestly I think there is more potential for Luke to be tempted by the dark side then him to be killed off.
"To kick off a whole new generation of Star Wars fandom, here's Episode VII! Implying there are six movies you need to watch before seeing this one... But like maybe don't watch 1-3 because those are actually really bad and... Okay watch 4-6, and maybe after afew drinks, watch the first three and... Okay so there's this thing called the machete order and..."
You know it's Episode 7. Calling it Episode 7 creates a pretty obnoxious barrier for non-fans. Why do you think Force Awakens was as much of a "Star Wars greatest hits" as it was?

Also, I'm betting Finn ends up being the character that proves midichlorians aint shit, "being strong in the force" aint shit, and if you want it bad enough, you can tap into the force and use it.
Chirrut in Rogue One sorta nudges the door open for that as a possibility.

I will be furious if Luke dies. Here you have Hamill clearly excited to be back in the SW universe, working his butt off to get in shape, looking the part, still young and healthy enough to be a big part of the movies... and for the new trilogy you use him for 10 seconds in one movie, and kill him off in the second? No way. Especially if the plan was/is for Leia to be a big part of episode IX. Luke should have the biggest part of the returning cast, not the smallest.
Really hope "Last Jedi" is referring to perhaps Luke and Rey building up a new faction that is different from the Jedi.

It can be flawed and still worked. I'm saying they were really blinded by their ego and Palpatine got the best of them.
I'm convinced this is it. The "Jedi" order just isn't working for various reasons and Luke after VI and after Ben lost his shit, went seeking the first Jedi Temple--- probably for answers and insight as to how they should be doing things.

I would think they don't kill Luke because then the OT trinity is gone for the final film. I feel like he'd at least make it to the last film.

Why would Luke die? Am I missing something? Finn isn't the last Jedi because you have to be trained to be called a Jedi. So technically Luke is the last Jedi until he trains Rey or Finn, and that could happen at the end of the movie right?

Yep, that's a Star Wars.
Solid title, not mindblowing. Pretty logical followup title considering how TFA ended. Everything is fine.
I'm more curious about how the opening crawl will work considering how this one starts.

This because there is no one else to train Rey, other than Luke.
Luke had Ben in 4, but also Yoda in 2 others.
I don't think this means Luke dies.
Just that Luke is the last Jedi around.
Could also take it as just like Kylo Ren and Snoke aren't Sith, Luke and his followers won't really be Jedi going forward. He goes to the temple, starts a new, learns the error of the ways, hey lets have families lets be normal people. Etc. Etc.
Would be kind of lame if it is a "I'm last... its up... to you... Rey... there is... another..."
"eh eh? See? SEE WHAT WE ARE DOING!!?"

really don't see the Jedi willingly closing up shop. they aren't that principled. furthermore even if they were, the Sith are still out there, it would be like waving a white flag and letting the Dark Side win.
if TFA proved anything it's that nostalgia is gonna be a huge driver for the next trilogy and they are digging into the Skywalker mythology more than ever.

I don't think Rey would ever turn to the dark side. It's Disney.

And return of the Jedi meant a sole Jedi and still it was Rückkehr der Jedi Ritter (<- Plural) in Germany. Doesnt mean shit, most likely its just lazy translation
That was in the 80s. You can be sure that Disney has that shit on lock and that something that important is getting localized properly. The nuance in the translation is probably intentional.

Thats exactly what I think will happen.

Everyone is wrong.
Luke lives, Rey rejects the way of the Jedi.
Rey decides that the philosophy of the Jedi is flawed, that love and attachment make people stronger, not weaker. She chooses to embrace her emotions, but use them for good, not evil. She forges a new path between Jedi and Sith, and Luke remains The Last Jedi.

So luke dies. That kind of sucked a lot of enthusiasm out of me having such clear implications in the title.

Could just mean "Luke's the main thing in this movie." Even if Rey's all fancy with the force and shit, she's not necessarily an actual Jedi. Luke's the last one now, and may remain the last one throughout.
Yeah, something like that.

Well... I was afraid of this. I was discussing Star Wars with friends at New Year's and said, "Once Luke dies I think my interest in the series will die too." Now I'm sad
Afraid of what? Lol, it's only a reference to Luke being the last one, back in TFA even.
Luke: "Rey, I am your father"
Rey: "Really?"
Luke: "Yes, and look on the bright side, you learned who your father was in a lot better way than I did"
Mark my words, he's gunna learn the ways of the force, one way or another.
