‘Right now’ it’s Luke
Who exactly isThe Last Jedi?
Is itDaisy Ridleys Rey, emerging as a new pupil for the war-weary knight?
Johnson had a more definitive answer in a new interview withThe New York Times.
Its in the opening crawl ofThe Force Awakens, he clarified.
Luke Skywalker, right now, is the last Jedi.
And hes removed himself and is alone on this island, for reasons unknown.
Perhaps this will change, as the filmmaker confirmed the heart of the movie is Luke and Rey.
And its absolutely tied up in that question of, What is Lukes attitude toward the Jedi?
It makes sense with the story, to me, that its singular.
During a chat withABC Newsin April, Johnson wouldnt confirm the title as a reference to Luke.
Well, if you say so, he said to the suggestion.
Im gonna take your word for it.
The film will hit theaters and answer more burning theories on Dec. 15.
