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

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

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?

What's the plural for Jedi? Couldn't this just as easily mean "the last (two) Jedi"?
― silverfish, Monday, 23 January 2017 16:18 (seven years ago) link
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

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

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).
― nashwan, Monday, 23 January 2017 16:29 (seven years ago) link
Are they just gonna do the Obi Wan Darth Vader scene with Luke and Kylo Ren? Probably
― silverfish, Monday, 23 January 2017 16:33 (seven years ago) link
Maybe it means "The Most Recent Jedi", i.e. Luke

The Latest Jedi, (co-starring the latest Death Star)
― Al Moon Faced Poon (Moodles), Monday, 23 January 2017 16:45 (seven years ago) link
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.

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"

I don't think we're contradicting that
The Force Awakens: In flashback, Luke has students. None of them make it to jedi level, they all die or disappear off the storyboard, he's back to being the last. Rey seems like she has potential as a new jedi apprentice, film ends with her handing a lightsaber to her potential teacher
The Last Jedi: We already know Luke is the last. What does this title tell us about this movie and not the status quo?
I mean, Return of the Jedi set out the blueprint at the beginning: Yoda tells Luke that only after confronting his father, a jedi... I mean, he will be a jedi. He does that in the climax, then the movie ends

well I hope he's not the last Jedi. That would be sad.
actually, my real shit talk in this thread is to try to find out what George Lucas' ideas for 7-9 actually were. I watched a an '83 Carrie Fisher interview right after she died, and she was talking about not only was Lucas already thinking prequels, but ideas for 7-9, which incldued Han, Leia and their kids looking for a new planet to live on. So I'm thinking there is probably a mostly-fledged Lucas story out there somewhere.
