QuoteThe title for "Star Wars: Episode VIII" has finally been revealed.

Disney annouced on Monday that the next chapter in the space opera saga will be named "Star Wars: The Last Jedi."

"The Last Jedi," written and directed by Rian Johnson, immediately follows the events of 2015's smash hit "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

The film stars Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong'o, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie, and Andy Serkis. The cast also includes the late Carrie Fisher, who died on Dec. 27. The actress, who played Princess Leia Organa, had wrapped shooting in July.

Lucasfilm said earlier this month that it won't digitally recreate Fisher in upcoming movies.

Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern, and Kelly Marie Tran will also appear in "The Last Jedi."

The film is produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Ram Bergman, and executive produced by J.J. Abrams, Jason McGatlin, and Tom Karnowski.

"Star Wars: The Last Jedi" hits theaters on Dec. 15, 2017.

I think it is good they will let Carrie rest in peace after this one.

I just hope it is not a remake of an earlier film which IMO was what "The Force Awakens" really was. I enjoyed it but it was just a little too close to the plot of New Hope.

"The Last Jedi-- Unless the Gross Stays Up". To be followed by, "The Second-To-Last Jedi", "The Next Last Jedi", and, "The Last, Last Jedi". And then later a made-for TV series, "The Skywalker-Solo Family Chronicles". Can't wait!  :D

Luke's not the last Jedi. Even after Palpsy issued Order 66 there were still a bunch of Jedi hiding throughout the galaxy. Hell, he and Vader completely missed Yoda and Obi Wan for 20 years. The Jedi are harder to wipe out than cockroaches.

But surely they would've felt the Force awaken and come out of hiding or where ever they are. Wouldn't they? Sorry I called you 'Shirley'.

Actually, that's the only one of note to me on his list.

What, two highly popular space operas that constantly disappoint fans, have great big well developed universes and are never taken advantage of, and yet keep people coming back for more.

How do you even get to be a maintenance guy in the Empire? Don't they just blow stuff up rather than fix it? How could you ever find your tools with that damned helmet with the little, tiny eye slots anyway? Then, just when you get it up and running again, some Dark Jedi comes along and  carves it all the hell-up with a lightsaber cause he's pissed that some little girl beat him up in Mind Thumb-Wrestling. Tough job!  :-\
