lol at "Luke is gonna die!" No way they just get rid of him, especially not after we lost Carrie Fisher. Maybe it would happen in IX but not this movie.
It's plural. Luke is currently the last but he'll be training Rey, maybe Finn, maybe even some others. They'll be the last jedi. I honestly believe all three of them survive this trilogy because there will be a ridiculous backlash if they kill off any of them. So hopefully they introduce some more new characters that we care about yet we can actually lose.

It's Lucasfilm
And they're not gonna turn her to the Darkside because there's no real reason to. The only reason people keep pitching it is because it sounds "cool" in a very empty, superficial way.
Regardless what conglomerate owned the company, that "twist" would be disappointing.
yet.

lol I think this is what most of us are saying. You would think Luke would be more open to "love" and things like that, a big point of the prequels was how this directly factored into Anakin's downfall. But yeah, we're going to see a new kind of Jedi I think, and hell maybe not even an "organization." Will be interesting to see.
As for Luke not dying because of what happened with Carrie Fisher, the movie finished filming earlier last year. It's not like they're going to do last-minute revisions over something that huge. Come on dudes. Think.
Could be, or they may end up as mistranslated, or translators are told to use their own judgment.
The Last Samurai, for example, was meant to be a plural, but is translated as "Viimeinen Samurai" here in Finland, a singular form.

maybe you missed where Disney made the first Star Wars where a son kills his father in cold blood.
What did he mean by this?

The original concept for the emperor was that he was just some guy who tapped into the force, and anyone was capable if they trained enough (unless Lucas just pulled that out of his ass during an interview).
Though, if that Asian guy from Rogue One couldn't use the force, I'm not sure what hope there is for Finn.

They will probably turn her again in Episode 9 to make her the ultimate babyface jedi.
Despite that she uses the dark side to beat the fucking shit out of Kylo and thus knows what fighting in anger lends her...
Lol
Oh man, this would suck.
Not every character has to wield a lightsaber to be interesting in this franchise. Keep him as an average joe.
i'm sorry m8
we thought we were getting the new T'Challa
but in reality, we were getting the new Yamcha

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
I think Luke dying is pretty unlikely, given the climax of The Force Awakens.
I'm thinking that Luke survives, trains Rey but she never becomes a Jedi.
She becomes something new, like how Ren isn't a Sithlord.
So the dark light balance remains but in two new more modern forms where they are more proactive and a whole new paradigm.
Bonus if they rastafy the new religion by 10%

Ah yes, Disney's famed unpredictability. They're definitely not the kind of studio that sticks with the safest and most obvious path.

He'll die by the end of this trilogy.
Probably not in this movie though.
Although maybe the title is done in red because now both Luke & Leia die in the same movie.
Disney doesn't make Star Wars movies.
Rian Johnson wrote & directed this movie
Which I guess is all bullshit now after episode 3. I'm willing to bet money Finn learns about and uses the force.

Gimme dat trailer!
She looked like she was gonna go dark side in that fight with Kylo
It's disney. And it's a mainline star wars film. It'll be as black/white as possible.

seeing how these new movies follow too much the formula from the OT, there will be some sort of spoilery big ''Twist'' in this next one.
they will try to go Dark Dark with their twist.
edit: Gray Jedi are the best: like Kyle Katarn

That would be stupid. Give Luke the scrapped spaghetti western ending he didn't get in Return of the Jedi.

He's going to make a come back, just wait and see.
I hope.
No it doesn't. Luke and Leia are Skywalkers and play parts in the film.

I wonder why people underplay LucasFilm involvement with the Star Wars franchise.
I don't see it happen with Pixar, Marvel or their other studios.
Weird.

It's a somewhat ambiguous title. It could easily refer to Luke and Luke alone. He literally is the last, after all. Maybe he'll die and it could then refer to Rey. Maybe not. It could be plural too.
Everyone claiming he will 100% die or that this somehow proves Rey's parentage is going too far.

Seems more likely that Kylo would go lightside.

You know, Rey, we really are the last jedi.

It wasn't super subtle in the movie and apparently the books make it more apparent.
Luke did the same shit tho so who knows
The Force Awakens is a perfect title.
