Star Wars Episode 8 Title Announced!

Star Wars Episode 8, now has an official title – The Last Jedi. Feedback is somewhat mixed with parallels being drawn to the original title of Episode 6 – Revenge of the Jedi – and it’s original color scheme, red letters on black.

But what does it mean?

The rumor mill says this episode will be “darker”, and will hopefully add much needed backstory to Kylo Ren’s fall to the dark side. But this title doesn’t really reflect that except for it’s rather foreboding colors and fonts.

Does it refer to Rey? Or possibly Luke as the last Jedi? Or possible Luke and Rey as the last Jedi? Don’t forget, Jedi can be plural or singular.

Also, there seem to be many clues coming from Star Wars Rebels. So if you’re not caught up on that, we advise checking it out. Don’t forget, characters from Rebels were in Rogue One and are also slated to appear in movies going forward.
