Star Wars 8 shit talk

Yes but it's filled with tiny Death Stars.

Obligatory jeez where's my spoiler warning joke

I'm Snoke

Reports are that as of the next trilogy the series will be retitled Death Star Wars and will document a future world where sentient Death Stars of various sizes and alignments have supplanted all life in the galaxy and now spend their days evaporating one another.

(And I remembered halfway through typing out that utterly ridiculous scenario that, thanks to the EU, we know that the original Death Star HAD technically achieved sentience just before it was destroyed. Dear, dear lord.)

Your scenario sounds like Phantasm 6.

xp i don't recall the original death star achieving sentience but i do recall that bounty hunter droid mind-melding (apologies for geek terminology crossover) with the second death star moments before it was destroyed. and i resent my brain for maintaining that piece of information while discarding so much more useful stuff.

Oh sorry, you're right, it was the second Death Star. But, yeah, IG-88 uploading himself was what I was referring to and why I said 'technically'. I'm glad to know I'm not alone in my affliction.

can't they just use a different actress?

apparently not given the attitude upthread and in the nerdverse in general

Kinda feel like the attitudes noted here re: recasting Leia are not reflective of the nerdverse writ large.

wtf they cannot 'recast' leia. carrie fisher isn't david prowse or something.

Lily Tomlin is...Leia

they're bringing in the second mom from Fresh Prince to play her

maybe we can just overhear her from offscreen and only see shadows or she will conveniently be on the can every time she's in a scene

always holding something over her face

Someone find that Leia = Snoke thread on the jedi boards and report back please

We have a title: http://www.starwars.com/news/the-official-title-for-star-wars-episode-viii-revealed

oh shiiiiiit

So either Luke will die in this, so that Rey will become the eponymous character, or it'll have lots of flashbacks to the years when Luke literally was the last Jedi?

weird name to title the next version of the Death Star but hey, 6th time's a charm

so who is... the last jedi

*thinking emoji*

the death star was the last jedi, it had a consciousness
sad

we are ALL the last jedi

makes u think

I heard ur mom is the last jedi

What if Kylo Ren is the last Jedi, what about that, huh?

What's the plural for Jedi? Couldn't this just as easily mean "the last (two) Jedi"?

thinking it's about the transition from Luke to Rey -- so yeah, maybe Luke dies in this.

but also Star Wars: The Last Jedi Until the Next Franchise reboot about Rey's Kids and also the Ewoks she trained in Episode 9

The plural of "Jedi" is "Jedii"

xp
Kylo is Sith

you're sith

or maybe not, but would Jedi recognize him as one of them? I say no!

leia is the last jedi, which means they've painted themselves into a really awkward corner

kylo ren is neither sith nor jedi

nor is he a nightsister of dathomir, unless he is

The Lost Jedi might've been better. Applies to Luke who had been lost, applies to Kylo who they lost to the dark side, possibly applies to Rey who was lost/abandoned although I suspect she is a new thing (Darth Vader comic and maybe other SW media allude to that concept if not about Rey herself).

Are they just gonna do the Obi Wan Darth Vader scene with Luke and Kylo Ren? Probably

Maybe it means "The Most Recent Jedi", i.e. Luke

Technical term there is lastest.

xxp maybe they'll run each other through like Arthur and Mordred at the end of Excalibur.

"no i meant you're an old friend, not that you're OLD, oh ffs"

The Latest Jedi, (co-starring the latest Death Star)

Still wondering how they'll handle the opening shot after it was suggested they would start with the same scene The Force Awakens ended on. Would've thought the best (consistent) way to handle this would be for the text crawl to fade and then pan down to a view of the planet Luke is on with the Falcon wooshing past towards it. Ideally you wouldn't 'recap' in this way either but the films have never opened on the Falcon in space so that would be nice in itself. "Previously on Star Wars" voiceover optional.

The Last Gasp

ppl on the internets are saying Rey is not a trained Jedi, and that Luke was identified as "the last Jedi" in the crawl of VII.

damn, you people aren't even good at this

also, suggestions of
"Last Jedi in Paris"
"Last Jedi on the Left"

but if Luke trains her!
