Star Wars Episode VIII Confirmed Title!
February 1, 2017
Star Wars: Episode VIII has been officially given a title — The Last Jedi. Directed by Rian Johnson, this film will pick up immediately after the events of The Force Awakens. The same cast returns, including the addition of Benicio del Toro.
Carrie Fisher, who passed in December, completed her work on the project. However, Disney and Lucasfilm have confirmed that her likeness will be digitally recreated for the last installment of the trilogy.
Many have begun to speculate on the possibilities that title may hold. The “Last Jedi” could refer to Luke or Rey. Jedi can also be plural. The fanboys are working on their theories, but all questions will be answered on December 15th, 2017.
