I wonder what the title means?

Does Luke train Rey, leaving her as the last Jedi, because he either withdraws from the Jedi Order or is killed?

Does Rey reject the Jedi teachings and start her own Force cult?

So many questions!

Seriously. The title is making a serious statement, and we have no fucking clue what it might be.

I like the intrigue.....

My theory:
Luke learned something during the slaughter of the new jedi temple. Something some books reference Yoda learning during the fall of the old republic. The brighter the light, the darker the shadow. Meaning that the stronger the Jedi are, the stronger the Sith become. Having figured this out, Luke has quit the overall "religion" of the jedi, and turned more into a "grey" jedi to avoid throwing the whole Force out of balance...

I actually like the idea that the Jedi Order comes to a close.

Then maybe down the road, in Episode 12 or 15, the 5th generation Skywalker would re-start the Jedi Order.

Right after he blows up an even BIGGER death star.

Why is Star Wars in red rather then the traditional yellow?

Red color scheme. How very Sith like.

At long last, the next chapter in the Star Wars saga films has a title.

What was once Episode VIII is now The Last Jedi.

When cameras started rolling last year on the eighth film in the Skywalker family story, writer-director Rian Johnson used the tongue-in-cheek working title “Space Bear,” and numerous rumors (most of them false) about the possible real title have circulated ever since. The title was announced Monday without any further explanation from Lucasfilm. There’s not much to analyze except that the second film in the trilogies (remember, casual fans, Rogue One is a stand-alone) usually tilts the balance of power toward the villains.

The Empire Strikes Back left the Rebellion and our heroes in tatters, and Attack of the Clones similarly brutalized the Jedi and the crumbling Republic. The Last Jedi is bracketed by the traditional Star Wars emblem, which is outlined in what can only be described as “Sith red.”

The new title also answers one question while raising others: Just who is The Last Jedi?

Once upon a time, it was Luke Skywalker. But now the obvious answer would seem to be Daisy Ridley’s cast-off Rey, who in The Force Awakens discovered powers she never dreamed possible, using the Force to Anakin and Luke Skywalker’s old lightsaber from the snow and defeating Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) in single combat. Johnson has confirmed there will be no lapse in time between The Last Jedi and The Force Awakens, with the story picking up close to where the previous film left off: Rey standing before the self-banished Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), ready to start her Jedi training after helping to deal an explosive blow to The First Order.

John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Driver, Gwendoline Christie, Lupita Nyong’o, Dohmnall Gleeson, Andy Serkis, and the late Carrie Fisher return for Episode VIII, alongside franchise newcomers like Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern, and Kelly Marie Tran. The movie is produced by Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, longtime Johnson collaborator Ram Bergman (Brick, Looper) and executive produced by J.J. Abrams, Jason McGatlin, and Tom Karnowski.

The Last Jedi will hit theaters on Dec. 15, 2017.

I just thought of something: The word "Jedi" is also plural, so the title could refer to both Luke and Rey.
[Reply]

Derp. I never thought of that. I was worried at the supposed indication of a single remaining Jedi. Meaning the death of either Luke or Rey....
[Reply]

That is a great point.
[Reply]

luke dies. I told you that a long time ago, he already told us:-)
[Reply]

It clearly means Luke is Snoke and Rey is the daughter of Wedge.

pretty good fake trailer :-)
