In an announcement on Monday, the film was described as “the next chapter of the Skywalker saga”, heavily suggesting that the last jedi of its title refers to Luke Skywalker. However, some users on social media have pointed out that jedi is also plural and could refer to multiple characters.
Asked what he thought of the title in an interview, Mark Hamill said he was relieved to no longer have to keep it secret and joked about its similarity to 2003 film The Last Samurai.
“It’s funny, back when we were making the original, nobody cared,” he told AP, adding, “It’s straightforward and minimalist and I like that.”
