Geekery: Episode VIII has a Title
The marketing for the next movie in the trilogy has begun!
We have the greatest fans in this or any other galaxy. In appreciation of the fans, we wanted them to be the first to know the title of the next chapter in the Skywalker saga: STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI.
THE LAST JEDI is written and directed by Rian Johnson and produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Ram Bergman and executive produced by J.J. Abrams, Jason McGatlin, and Tom Karnowski.
STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI is scheduled for release December 15, 2017.
StarWars.com. All Star Wars, all the time.
Not much else has been revealed – LucasArts is very good about handling leaks. Will mention that the movie shares its title with a 1981 stand alone comic by Mike W. Barr and Walt Simonson that is based around a story of Luke Skywalker training a Force sensitive man.
Any theories?
