I like the 1st best. 2nd is pretty meh, yoda is fairly good one

The yoda one had me in stitches with "I was like, that log had a child!"

That cracked me up too. That and when he's hitting artoo.

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

So according to the Hollywood Reporter...

EpVII has a scene in which Leia and Luke reunite, and EpIX was to have a scene in which Leia confronts Kylo.

If they can get permission/have the rights to her image, I say just animate her. They did such a great job with Tarkin I don't see why they can't do it in the 9th film. They have 3 years to get it perfect.

I honestly don't know what they will decide to do. sounds like Leia's role in IX was big. Perhaps too much for CGI scenes. Either way, I'm sure they'll honour her appropriately.

They really should have gone with 'The Last Jedi Lightsabers People In the Face'.

"Jedi" can be plural, too.

Yay, they're already cannibalizing EU novel titles...

"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

Well after 30 years they did use all of the good ones. Along with all of the good story lines. So....

Yeah, Jedi is most certainly meaning plural here...as we will at the very least have two, in Luke and Rey.

Seems a weird choice. The Force Awakens hints at a new age to match the new trilogy. This seems out of place, especially as we know other force users and jedi survived order 66.

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

Oh agreed...If I'm honest, I think it's likely just direct a reference to the TFA opening crawl mention and just is referencing Luke (Snoke called him The Last Jedi in TFA in dialogue as well).

I don't think it applies to the future though. I think since this movie is rumoured to be Luke-heavy in focus (and Rey) that the title just refers to having found him and dealing with him.

I don't think it negates any future Jedi from coming to be.

Basically what I llmeant is that I think they are giving us a stalled pass the torch movie with Luke actually just bitching fuckers around blindfolded with his hand tied behind his back.

I've heard tell (over at Making Star Wars) that this occurs in the first 40 min of the movie on Ach-To. The Knights Of Ren arrive on the planet, and Luke and Rey have to fight them, and Luke will be an audience-cheering badass during the whole sequence.

Well I mean how else do you kill him off? Old age, or a gun fight in a salon. Please. A freaking Meteor is the only way for him to go.

I've been hoping something like the scene in a LOTF bk plays out. Luke pinned down Jacen to his chair without raised hands as a "focus" cause he's fucking Luke Skywalker and Jacen basically has an "ohhhhhh shit" moment. Hopefully Ben can exp something similar.

Me too.

And Chewie should have gone out charging into about 200 heavily armed enemies armed only with the ripped off arms of the first 200 enemies he had already beaten to armless red squishy masses.

How not? They just gave us an entire movie with people having oh shit moments. Luke showing his power without moving and the person he is using it on realizing how puny they are to him would be epic.

Bk, you're having a woosh moment here.
