So what do you think of the new title for the Eighth film in the Saga???

tigertron · 01-23-2017, 03:56 PM

Can we have something in between?

dgoswald · 01-23-2017, 04:03 PM

Is this official? If so it's okay.

I would've liked a new SW-related word / name / object / place that the audience has yet to encounter; something that sounds inimitably SW but fresh.
Could've been worse, lol!

Just great; they're going to kill Luke in December.

I think the title's too derivative of Episode VI; they should've picked a more original one. It works as a description of Luke (even Yoda used it), but the movie's not just about him. A reference to family or the Alliance would've been good, or maybe something else about the Force. Here's a few ideas, off the top of my head...

Lineage of the Force
Alliances Reforged
Path of the Dark Side
The Value of Family

They've needlessly already broke the mold with TFA, so they might just as well continue. Oh wait, they did. Honestly, I don't even care anymore. It is what it is...

Neither perfect nor terrible.

It's fine as a title per se, but I don't think I like it as the title for Episode VIII in the context of the other films. I always think it's hard to judge how appropriate or good a title is until you actually see the film, but it just seems very ... bland really. And it doesn't fit 'the pattern' of the other episodic films, which I find a shame in some ways.

But this is a new era... it's not George Lucas' 'titles in the same pattern' time anymore. We'll see. Better an iffy title and a great film than a perfect, exciting title that fits the pattern but then the film is no good.

The Last Jedi - does that mean they are going to kill Leia off between the films instead of using a CGI face?

punisher · 01-27-2017, 09:48 PM

Since I guessed right a few weeks ago..see my post in movie thread....it's perfect

Leia isn't a Jedi. I think they are going to kill Luke and the Last Jedi will be Rey. By the 3rd movie Chewie may be the only orignal left if they don't kill him too

I think the title is neither perfect or terrible. It's simply okay. I'm dubious about any decision that breaks with Lucas's traditions, whether they be in the titling of the movies or in this bizarre insistence on making the new films the way the films were made over forty years ago.
