We have a title! We have a title! And what an ominous one it is.
Star Wars Episode VIII is officially called: The Last Jedi. And we’re not sure if we’re dancing or crying. But we’re feeling things, that’s for sure. Worry, first of all – because last? Say it isn’t so! But also, a little bit of hope, because that probably means that we’re going to delve into the Jedi mythology a little more? And we really, really want that.
The news was announced by the Star Wars Official Twitter. You can find the tweet below.
