Films with Last in the title are always amazing, such as:

The Last Airbender
Last Action Hero
The Last Boy Scout
The Last House on the Left

This shit is on!

Last of the Mohicans
The Last Starfighter

And the Last Jedi hits the snooze button.

Luke wasn't really a Jedi until that last movie. Remember Han mocking him being a Jedi after he came to save him?

The Last Boy Scout is a cinematic masterpiece.

the last samurai

I get that people might not have thought of Anakin pre-prequel, but we knew who Vader was, or at least who he claimed to be. (Before Yoda and Obi-Wan confirmed it.) its the way I've always viewed that title. Because Luke wasn't a Jedi before, so its impossible for him to "return." Now, it could mean return of the jedi order, but to me it makes more sense that Anakin is returning. Especially with as much as that part of the story arc focuses on Luke trying to turn his father away from the dark side.

Return of the Jedi order is how I've always interpreted it.

Skywalker family?

Well technically, Ben Solo is a Skywalker

Makes it sound like Rey is also a Skywalker.

1. It sounds like a movie critic quote
2. What else is he going to say? "Sucks balls, hope you enjoy a middle movie to get to the end!"

the last jedi...anakin skywalker's ghost maybe?

was just reading some shit today and it's an intriguing thought

How are they even handling the episodes now? I get there's going to be a mini resolution to the events of the immediate story, but aren't they already planning on going forward 10, 11, so on & so on?

They have to develop an explanation now for why the Skywalker line is so important. I mean, if episode 1 to 9 or more are deemed to be "the" critical storyline of the SWU, exactly what is the difference between them and the elder equally powerful Jedi? It starts to feel more like SWU including the animated series and stand alone films, plus whatever new projects they produce carry greater weight and the OT and Episode series is more likened to The Skywalker Chronicles.
