So, any specific reason why they dropped this today? The $1 Billion of R1? lol

Teaser incoming? Seems like a bit soon no?

So much better than Forces of Destiny. Fans are going to speculate the shit out of this title.

I don't know why but I'm getting all sorts of classic 80's sci fi vibes from that title. I love it.

We have the greatest fans in this or any other galaxy. In appreciation of the fans, we wanted them to be the first to know the title of the next chapter in the Skywalker saga: Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is written and directed by Rian Johnson and produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Ram Bergman and executive produced by J.J. Abrams, Jason McGatlin, and Tom Karnowski.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is scheduled for release December 15, 2017.
Skywalker saga FTW

idk I was hoping for something different

and something without a repeated word in it

like, we can't refer to Ep VI as "Jedi" anymore

thanks a lot Rian Johnson

Wouldn't the title come off as a bit odd if by the end of the film there are still two Jedi left?£

Can 'Jedi' not also be plural? That would make a big difference.

RIP Luke Skywalker

If it were plural it'd be "Last of The Jedi", not The Last Jedi.

Could it not be about the end of the Jedi?

Could we not have Luke make it to the end of the film and not be a Jedi?

Because... y'know. The big secret with the Jedi are that they're kinda very very rubbish and the ideologies are incompatible with, y'know. Life.

I mean they only figure out how to genuinely become one with the Force and transcend after they had their collective asses whupped. And they're Jedi "Knights" - wars not make one great.

The title definitely works... much more subtle than the alternate

It's all about Luke yo.
