Star Wars 8 shit talk

can't they just use a different actress?

apparently not given the attitude upthread and in the nerdverse in general

Kinda feel like the attitudes noted here re: recasting Leia are not reflective of the nerdverse writ large.

wtf they cannot 'recast' leia. carrie fisher isn't david prowse or something.

Lily Tomlin is...Leia

they're bringing in the second mom from Fresh Prince to play her

maybe we can just overhear her from offscreen and only see shadows or she will conveniently be on the can every time she's in a scene

always holding something over her face

Someone find that Leia = Snoke thread on the jedi boards and report back please

We have a title: http://www.starwars.com/news/the-official-title-for-star-wars-episode-viii-revealed

oh shiiiiiit

So either Luke will die in this, so that Rey will become the eponymous character, or it'll have lots of flashbacks to the years when Luke literally was the last Jedi?

weird name to title the next version of the Death Star but hey, 6th time's a charm

so who is... the last jedi

*thinking emoji*

the death star was the last jedi, it had a consciousness
sad

we are ALL the last jedi

makes u think

I heard ur mom is the last jedi

What if Kylo Ren is the last Jedi, what about that, huh?

What's the plural for Jedi? Couldn't this just as easily mean "the last (two) Jedi"?

thinking it's about the transition from Luke to Rey -- so yeah, maybe Luke dies in this.

but also Star Wars: The Last Jedi Until the Next Franchise reboot about Rey's Kids and also the Ewoks she trained in Episode 9

The plural of "Jedi" is "Jedii"

xp
Kylo is Sith

you're sith

or maybe not, but would Jedi recognize him as one of them? I say no!

leia is the last jedi, which means they've painted themselves into a really awkward corner

kylo ren is neither sith nor jedi

nor is he a nightsister of dathomir, unless he is

The Lost Jedi might've been better. Applies to Luke who had been lost, applies to Kylo who they lost to the dark side, possibly applies to Rey who was lost/abandoned although I suspect she is a new thing (Darth Vader comic and maybe other SW media allude to that concept if not about Rey herself).

Are they just gonna do the Obi Wan Darth Vader scene with Luke and Kylo Ren? Probably

Maybe it means "The Most Recent Jedi", i.e. Luke

Technical term there is lastest.

xxp maybe they'll run each other through like Arthur and Mordred at the end of Excalibur.

"no i meant you're an old friend, not that you're OLD, oh ffs"

The Latest Jedi, (co-starring the latest Death Star)

Still wondering how they'll handle the opening shot after it was suggested they would start with the same scene The Force Awakens ended on. Would've thought the best (consistent) way to handle this would be for the text crawl to fade and then pan down to a view of the planet Luke is on with the Falcon wooshing past towards it. Ideally you wouldn't 'recap' in this way either but the films have never opened on the Falcon in space so that would be nice in itself. "Previously on Star Wars" voiceover optional.

The Last Gasp

ppl on the internets are saying Rey is not a trained Jedi, and that Luke was identified as "the last Jedi" in the crawl of VII.

damn, you people aren't even good at this

also, suggestions of
"Last Jedi in Paris"
"Last Jedi on the Left"

but if Luke trains her!

PROOF

we all just got sonned by Morbs in an SW thread, I need to go think about things

The Jedi Vanishes

also, suggestions of
"Last Jedi in Paris"
"Last Jedi on the Left"

Last Jedi in Brooklyn

To Live Jedi In L.A.

under president trump all the old certainties will be washed away

the skies will turn red, the seas will boil, and dr morbius will stan for judd apatow

I don't think we're contradicting that

The Force Awakens: In flashback, Luke has students. None of them make it to jedi level, they all die or disappear off the storyboard, he's back to being the last. Rey seems like she has potential as a new jedi apprentice, film ends with her handing a lightsaber to her potential teacher

The Last Jedi: We already know Luke is the last. What does this title tell us about this movie and not the status quo?

I mean, Return of the Jedi set out the blueprint at the beginning: Yoda tells Luke that only after confronting his father, a jedi... I mean, he will be a jedi. He does that in the climax, then the movie ends

well he did write for Larry Sanders xp

Man, that crawl-text is so bad.

well I hope he's not the last Jedi. That would be sad.

actually, my real shit talk in this thread is to try to find out what George Lucas' ideas for 7-9 actually were. I watched a an '83 Carrie Fisher interview right after she died, and she was talking about not only was Lucas already thinking prequels, but ideas for 7-9, which incldued Han, Leia and their kids looking for a new planet to live on. So I'm thinking there is probably a mostly-fledged Lucas story out there somewhere.

it's supposed to be like late '30s kiddie-serial text, you chump. xp
