Star Wars: Episode 7, 8... and BEYOND!

Good, would be kinda gross to do.

Why? What´s exactly gross?

The deleted Chewbacca scene where he rips off an arm.

EPISODE VIII: THE LAST JEDI

[Tetsujin]

Woo, we have a title

 

[Shademp]

So then the question is... Does "Last Jedi" mean a paradigm shift, extinction...or both?

 

[ForceStealer]

Though "Jedi" is both singular and plural, I feel like "Last of the Jedi" might have accentuated the ambiguity a bit more.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

So then the question is... Does "Last Jedi" mean a paradigm shift, extinction...or both?

To me, it really feels like both. We know from some stuff in The Force Awakens' novelization that there's been emphasis on Kylo Ren's history of, "one foot in the dark one foot in the light" being something that held significance even though it didn't make it to that film, so I think that, along with Rebels exploring more of the in-between areas of the Force with The Bendu, Ahsoka, & Maul, I have a feeling that we're going to start to push into areas not touched by the more rigid extreme dogmatisms of the Jedi & Sith for the roles that Rey & Ben fill. By the same token, I think that Luke's sort of emphasis on that will make him properly the last Jedi (although it's worth noting that in plural it's still, "The Last Jedi"), and at some point we know he'll pass on that legacy properly to Rey in whatever form it takes.

(God, I really hope that after this film gives us what it gives us that Dave Filoni's next animation project is something related to Skywalker's Academy & the Knights of Ren, because he seems to love to take on the stories of the characters that are destined to be doomed – Ahsoka, Kanan & Ezra, etc).

I kinda wish they had gone with "The Last of the Jedi". Im sure they went back and forth with that.

 

[Ite]

Booooo harrumph! There's only one movie called "Jedi!"

 

[Cthulhu]

It's probably going to be something corny like "yeh we're going to call it something less pretentious and give the powar to the people and call ourselves idk, Power Rangers". You know, like the republic empire last order did.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

I like that Episode VII & VIII are directly connected (VIII picks up right where VII ends) & if you look at them together their titles read like a sentence:

"The Force awakens the last Jedi"

and I think it'd be exceptionally cool of IX kept with that and ended with something like "Knights of the New Republic" or something similar that allowed a continuous flow of all the titles into a single sentence that would thematically encompass all 3 films.

[Lulcielid]

An interesting perspective regarding what this name might suggest where this new movie (and possibly IX) might be heading torwards.

What do you think about it?

 

[Ghost X]

It would be good if the title alluded to a new paradigm occurring in the Star Wars universe by the end of the trilogy, where Sith and Jedi no longer exist. It probably won't mean that though :p. If it does though, it might be a reference to Luke (the last Jedi), who might teach Rey to be something else than a Jedi? Like Kylo is being taught both light and dark stuff, etc. Anyway. I don't like the title :p.

Sounds like Episode IX's title is gonna have to start with a preposition.

 

[Shademp]

Forgive my poor memory but why is it written as...

STAR
The Last Jedi
WARS​

Is this something they usually do with the title logos?

 

[Lord Noctis]

I don't know if they always do that, but I remember they did it with TFA.

Well it seems like it, but that's also why I gave the specific example that I did for a potential title for IX.
Altogether it'd be:

"The Force awakens the last Jedi Knights of the New Republic."

F8 Of The Jedi - Tatooine Drift

 

[Tetsujin]

Dat red title card though

 

[Ghost X]

I don’t think there is significance to it being red. Seen some theories about it, but they're not convincing.

 

[Carlie]

Tets: I prefer its French version of the title "La Revanche du Jedi"

Also:

 

[Tetsujin]

The Star Wars Special Edition is now twenty years old.
To think that the Special Editions themselves were released for the twentieth anniversary of the franchise...
And people will likely still be watching them twenty years from now!

I'm sad I never took the chance to watch episodes 4 - 6 at the theater back then though. D:
Should've maybe begged my parents to take me to see them but they would've probably argued that I've seen them a million times on VHS already

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

I'd be surprised if there wasn't another theatrical run around the time of Episode IX.

 

[Tetsujin]

I wouldn't be

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Well, "The Lord of the Rings" movies were shown again in select theatres when "The Hobbit" trilogy was complete, so ...
