Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun. God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind! It's just that. Just kind.

Uh-Oh.  Does that mean Luke is going to die?  I sure hope not.  I mean, he was the last Jedi, but he should be training Rey, making him not the last anymore.

Speaking of Rey, let's see her saber already!  Wink

Anyway, thanks for posting this, LC.  Have a point.

I don't think he dies.

2 possibilities:

- 'Jedi' is also plural - it could be Master & new Padawan

- Or, in his time communing with the Force, he decided a new path is required for the constant Jedi vs Dark Side cycle to end. No more "Jedi" but something new.

Some of the past titles have double meanings though so who knows?


For some reason though, I feel certain he doesn't die in this one.

Either you like Star Wars... Or you're wrong.

To me it feels like the title really means "The Path of the Last Jedi".

The filmmakers remarked that this film will heavily feature luke..so perhaps its more referencing his focal point in the film.   But, I am leaning towards Luke being the last Jedi and Rey being the start of something new.

Lets be honest here though, do we really want the Jedi to quit being in the movies? (Calon and Logos would say yes). That is what Star Wars was founded upon. A Smuggler, and Princess and a Jedi (to be). If there is no Jedi, what is the point of Star Wars? They are the guardians of Peace and Justice in the galaxy. If there are no Jedi, that the galaxy would be destroyed in chaos.

No one said there would be no Guardians of Peace and Justice...they just won't be called Jedi.  I'm all for it if done right.  The Jedi tenants are the very reason they fell, we are seeing the hints of Grey force users being introduced so Rey may be the first of that Order.

Maybe, we'll see. In any case, I can't wait for this movie to come out.

I am of the opinion that Luke found out a bunch of old Jedi lore and other Force lore from other source (places like the Temple of the Whils, or the Church of the Force) and come to the conclusion that he needs to train someone to be something more than a Jedi.  A Jedi is a light side force user at its core, but that is not the only path for the Force.  And no I don't mean the Dark Side, that is also but a single path.   The Force is vast and Luke may have found out about a lot more than what the Jedi of the Clone Wars era would know about, save for maybe Yoda.   He's willing to learn about the other ways after the fall of not only the Jedi Order his father was a part of, but also his own Jedi Order he had his nephew involve in.

In Star Wars: Rebels we have met a creature known as the Bendu, who is in the middle.   Between the light and the dark.   We've also been exposed to other ways of the Force in the last several years...not just the teaching of the Jedi and Sith.   So I think Luke will be the Last Jedi.   Rey will be the first of something greater.

I though about singular or plural considering this title.

The 7th first movie were all of singular form ... so, i think that The Last Jedi will be not a master and his padawan ...

As well as Ahsoka making the deceleration that She is no Jedi
