Star Wars: The Last Jedi (December 15, 2017)

[Throckmorton]

Episode VIII's title was finally announced today. Teaser trailer should be arriving sometime fairly soon I would think.

I know the title obviously refers to Luke, but the titles sound weird when you line them up. We go from Return of the Jedi which would make more sense now if was called Return of A Jedi to the Last Jedi.

Except Jedi is both plural and singular, so Return of the Jedi makes sense and The Last Jedi could be referring to both Rey and Luke. Or maybe we're going to see them continue mimicking the original trilogy and you'll see Luke sacrifice himself a la Obi Wan Kenobi in a fight with Snoke (I would be pissed if Luke was bested by Kylo Ren, someone who could barely (idiotically) handle a former stormtrooper in a light saber battle), thus leaving Rey as the last Jedi.

OR will we see the return of whole team of Jedi Luke was trying to train before he somehow screwed up, to fight Kylo's Knights of Ren?

Its just speculation at this point, but it does make some sense. I wouldn't be surprised if the trailer doesn't come until April, though, during the Star Wars convention, Celebration.

I want a team of jedi versus the knights of ren. Way more fun.

This is a long, but interesting read:

Star Wars Ring Theory

Maybe this trilogy is making a sentence? The force awakens the last Jedi... (TBD)...

"The Hidden Artistry of the Star Wars Prequels?" Haha!

Here's something else crazy and ridiculous on the internet:

You can argue with whether Lucas succeeded or not, but I don't think there should be any doubt of what he was trying to do. Just because someone doesn't accomplish their goal doesn't mean they were actively trying to fail or not trying at all.

It gave me a new respect for the prequels and what Lucas was trying to accomplish. I just think the execution was the problem. Even though I'm really impressed with what he was attempting to do, it still doesn't mean that I like the prequels or will go back and watch them. But it's still really impressive.

He obviously intended to draw a lot of parallels between the movies. He just botched it. He deserves as much credit as a goth teenager does for a bunch of poems about darkness.

[Ginkasa]

I prefer not to condescend people who go out of their way to accomplish something real and especially have at least partially succeeded in adding something good to the world. Certainly I don't disagree that the prequels are generally poorly made. However, the original trilogy and several other pieces of Star Wars media have added a lot of happiness and joy to my world; I won't place the man on a pedestal, but I have a hard time tearing him down and insulting him just because of he didn't bat 100%.

And, personally, while that goth teenager's poems are probably pretty terrible, I would prefer to encourage them to keep working and improve if poetry is really something they enjoy and would like to continue doing.

[Throckmorton]

Bump. May be getting the first teaser trailer later today.

[Questor]

Oh man that looks awesome. Thanks for posting - you are on the ball, they just barely released this!

[FighttheGoodFight]

They have to end the Jedi.......And become more like Jar Jar

[MadMonk]

LOL, Answer the poll with The Phantom Menace = instant ban.

[traxx]

LUKE: It’s time for the Jedi to end.

ME: He's probably right. This series has overstayed its welcome.

[Throckmorton]

Bump. Full trailer during Monday Night Football tonight.

[king183]

That was not a great trailer. A little too much Lord of The Rings scenery shots and Prequel-esque CGI and melodramatic acting.

[FighttheGoodFight]

Got my tickets last night for the IMAX at Regal Warren. Their site did so much better than last year when Warren owned it. Got in with no issues and got my seats.

I disagree with all of this.

[Eric]

I will say my impression of the trailer last night was that everything looked really "shiny". Where as it seemed the previous installment was grittier.

[traxx]

I've come to the realization that Star Wars was something that happened in my childhood. The prequels and these new films are a pale comparison. They're SWINO.
