    Red instead of yellow for the title card. Significance, perhaps?

    I saw the red text along with the title and thought, "this is bad news for somebody".

    not necessarily.. jedi is both a plural and singular term... though as he IS the most prominent jedi in a galaxy far far away it stnds to reason that he is the eponymous 'last' jedi. however... if luke skywalker dies, i shall become more powerful than you can possiby imagine. ;):)

    I think you're onto something. I think Luke will die, but I think the group of Jedi (flock of Jedi? Murder of Jedi?) remaining will be known as the Last Jedi.

    i dont think luke will die.. though i could be wrong... unless of course weve wholly entered the game of throne theory of storytelling. it is obvious due to carrie fishers recent passing that leia will have to die... and i will weep at her passing as i have been for the past 4 weeks for carrie fisher. this i see as happening off camera sometime between episode 8 & 9. as an original child of starwars i can not conceive of a situation that has han solo, leia AND luke dead. i prefer to think that luke knowing that the time of the jedi has passed will fade in obscurity. and yes my bias is entirely influenced by the fact that i have lived with these people for 40 years. NO ONE has been a part of my life so vividly as the skywalkers, han solo and the characters of the starwars universe and with carrie fishers passing i feel so deeply that something has irrevocably changed.

    I would think that Luke would fade away, just like Yoda, in episode 9.

    its my 12 year old self remembering that day back in 1977 when my father allowed us a day off school to see it. it was the least dubious movie choice he made for us kids in the 70s... we saw a lot of films totally unsuitable for kids... but i am so thankful that he shared his love of movies with us. :)

    tbh the other night i was typing under the influence...at this juncture, luke IS the last jedi.. and snopes is simply force sensitive.. as for kylo, hes just ike his grandfather, though probably not as whiny as young anakin, but determined like his mother. its a shame we wont get to see some sort of reconciliation between them ala luke/vader.
