Release date, trailers, cast, and everything we know so far about the recently confirmed title Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
By now you’ve probably seen Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and what a treat it was. Now it’s time to look ahead and find out what lies in store for Star Wars Episode 8, particularly after Carrie Fisher’s death on December 27, 2016. Here’s everything we know so far about the next Star Wars instalment
What is the title of Episode 8?
On January 23 the title was unveiled as The Last Jedi.
What is the release date for Episode 8?
An official date of December 15, 2017 has been confirmed, meaning we have less than a year before Skywalker and Rey start kicking the First Order across the other side of the galaxy.
What does the title of Episode 8 mean for the film?
Marketing for The Force Awakens notoriously avoided any mention of Luke Skywalker, and we only saw Luke in the final moments of the film. It’s been confirmed that The Last Jedi will begin directly where The Force Awakens ended, and given that Luke is the last known Jedi in the Star Wars universe at this point, we can safely presume we’ll be seeing a lot more of him – and learning a lot more about what he’s been up to – in episode 8.
Is a trailer out?
Not yet. But here’s a video announcing the production of Episode 8 uploaded February 2016.
