How can the last Jedi be title the last Jedi if Leia


Was one too?

I think the original script was tossed. JJ wrote a new one and that is why the two movies are not properly connected.

If I was being generous, I might say the title was Emo Ren's intention, the complete end of the Jedi. As it stands, fc31 has a pretty realistic explanation above.

As an aside to the precise discussion in this thread, I tried to like the sequel trilogy, but all three spend their duration presenting vehicle chases and object hunts that end up basically nowhere, or to a place where the stories maybe should have started. Not very compelling, but I didn't exactly hate them, they're far too bland for that.

Having said that, those vanilla flavours in TFA and RoS at least was done to an okay degree, proper cream and real vanilla, but it's still vanilla, nothing new. The Last Jedi, on the other hand, was a tub of an unrecognizable ice cream flavour that most SW fans were not expecting, and thus it was jarring. As another film, without the SW label with those character and other names it might have been palatable.

Not sure if you just made me want to rewatch the movie or grab a sundae.

:D Mango-melon with grilled warm pineapple and a dollop of mascarpone is a fresh option, btw. TLJ was basically a basil and lemon sorbet with a fiery hot chili caramel sauce, not bad as such but definitely a surprise in itself.

Are you a chef or just a foodie? Im going to smoke a J and find that mango melon thingy. Sounds fabulous!

reply

I used to be a chef, for 12.5 years, now just a massively fat guy with an appetite. M-m is the best, whether sorbet or classical ice cream form, if you're into those flavours you'll love it!

reply

Nothing wrong with being fat. I would never trust a skinny chef anyway. Just so you know, you're talking to the fast grill guy in all the midwest. Lol Ive never got caught in the weeds no matter how many tickets that stupid machine spits out.

Rian Johnson was just trolling us with "The Last Jedi," both the title and the whole movie.

Expectations subverted

Leia wasn't a proper Jedi. She was Force-sensitive and had trained, but wasn't full-fledged Jedi. But knew enough to help Rey's training along. Not as good as if it had been Yoda, but better than nothing.

reply

No, according to this movie she passed the final test, that means she was a qualified Jedi.

reply

Oh I thought they said she abandoned her training. Well in that case I'd say because even though Luke had checked out as an active participant, he still had some Jedi ideals in terms of how he lived.

reply

She died. Also, she was not a Jedi, as the film points out. Many are Force-sensitive, only those who have trained become Jedi. She was an Almost Jedi.

What’s the plural of Jedi?
