I was thinking the same thing! I'm not sure if that's grammatically correct though.

story

Of course, but I mean in terms of the trilogy story cycles.

Someone brought up a good point on another SW message board.

Old schoolers like me call the OT movies: Star Wars, Empire and Jedi.

Now I have to say Return Jedi and Last Jedi.

That's my only little critique of the title in that they are repeating a key word from a previous title.

Last Jedi also appeared in the opening crawl.

A thought just occurred to me: What if Luke isn't just the last Jedi for now, what if he is the last Jedi EVER?

DthRdrX

Well, that would explain why they never made it to our galaxy yet.

DthRdrX

Nice catch!

Supermallet

Maybe it's meant to be read as "Hooded robes? Ugh, that's so last Jedi!"

Oliver Clothesoff

Also the plural of Jedi is Jedi, so could be referring to Luke and Rey here.

I'm really coming around to the idea that Luke will end the Jedi order of old, with all their rules and restrictions, and bring forth a new order of Force users (Chirrut Imwe in Rogue One would be a good start to getting the audience used to that idea).

GuessWho

Maybe Disney retconned so this is NOT about Leia...?

Obi-Wanma

Leia is not a Jedi. Doesn't matter if she is force sensitive. If she never went under training to become a Jedi, then she is not a Jedi.

Lord Zarak

That would make it a retcon of a retcon, since originally, it was not meant to be Leia in the first place. It was supposed to set up Luke's quest to find another lost Jedi and defeat the Emperor in a sequel trilogy. Lucas was exhausted from the stress of making the movies (plus his divorce) so ROTJ tied up everything leaving no loose ends. (Source: Secret History of Star Wars... great book)

Anywho, Obi-wan pretty clearly said the other was Leia. That would be a tough sell to fans that Yoda was flat out lying to Obi-Wan.

Obi-Wanma

Again, just because Leia is force sensitive and had the potential to become something more (and possibly save the galaxy if Luke failed) does not make her a Jedi.

Lord Zarak

I'm not saying Leia is a Jedi. I'm just saying that Yoda's "other" hope is Leia. Yoda never said the "other" was a Jedi. All he is talking about is that if Luke fails to bring down Vader, that Leia can take his place. From my opinion, there's no way the ESB Yoda scene can be retconed to mean anything else, such as Rey is the other.

GuessWho

the others

Obi-Wanma

Gotcha, I thought the direction this conversation was headed was that Luke cannot be "The Last Jedi" without a retcon because Leia is still around.

GoldenJCJ

Rey wasn't even born yet when Yoda was talking about "another".

Lord Zarak

I like this idea that the Jedi are truly gone so Maz, Rey and Leia (maybe not her since Fisher passed away) form a new sect of Force-users. Maybe the "Bendu" based on Lucas's original term for the group.

Note: I have not seen Rogue One so forgive me if that is not accurate.

GuessWho

In canon, the Bendu is now a Force-sensitive creature on "Rebels"

I never interpreted this scene to be specifically about Jedi. But rather, about the light side generally.

Unless, the scene is talking about Ben Solo. Which is hard to imagine in context.

Josh-da-man

The "There is another" from ESB is Luke's twin sister who, at the time it was made, was not intended to be Leia and would have shown up in Episode VIII. WHEN lucas got around to making ROTJ, he closed the storyline off and made Leia the other twin.

I wonder if Rey is the "last Jedi." From what we sawin TFA, it looks like Luke might not be a Jedi any longer. He failed at bringing the Jedi order back, he took off and went into hiding, and he never took the lightsabre Rey offered him. Looks to me like he gave up and quit.

JTH182

Luke being a quitter would be a HORRIBLE storyline for the character, unless Rey convinces him to come back, which is what I assume will happen.

McHawkson

Didn't Han Solo mentioned that he heard rumor that Luke went to search for ancient Jedi temple?
