    Johnson wrote the story outline, but Treverrow and his Safety Not Guaranteed/Jurassic World co-writer are writing/wrote the actual script.

    Ah, OK. :)

    Just excited about expanded role for Finn and his putting his insider knowledge to use for something other than finding his way around SKB's garbage chutes.

    It is so insane that we may actually be getting that in an actual big-screen Star Wars movie in the actual near future.

    Like, the Hammerheads in Rogue One were something already, but this?

    Edit: "This is just a gigantic huge wedge, solid, and dark."

    Still not thinking it's too likely, but that even sounds like it could be the original Eclipse design.

    I really kind of hope that Episode IX gives us Hammerheads vs. Eclipse. EU ship battle for the ages. I'd be sobbing (tears of joy). :_|

    I didn't even realize that!

    She looks so much like Jaina with it down like that, holy Force

    Someone with better Photoshop skills than me, do an edit of that TPM poster with Rey instead of Ani.

    I know it won't help the Finn FS/non-FS debate but not for nothing, the new shirt under his jacket does sort of have the same cut and hem of a Jedi tunic. I'll choose not to read into that, however.

    Also, man, Rey looks awesome. Like, the hair down somehow makes her look more Jedi-like (combined with her being openly marketed with the saber).

    Poe's...well, I wish it were less generic. I loved his character in TFA and I mean, I guess you wouldn't expect his outfit to change anyway, but I would've appreciated something new, like Rey and Finn got.

    Love the new hairdo! I wonder if she changed her robes, too? They look more billowing than I remember. Also, the lightsaber changed again. They got rid of the rivets in the grips and the button on top that should be red is instead black. Interesting...

    Same outfits because set about 10 seconds later, derp, makes sense. Awesome to see Rey's new do / her holding a lightsaber in the promo art. Also, to overanalyze , the box art has strange red symbols behind Rey / Poe / Finn so that means cryptic Jedi symbols so therefore Mortis confirmed.

    semi-related, from i09 re. lack of time jump

    Also there's this from Rian Johnson

    http://io9.gizmodo.com/the-last-jedi-now-has-a-hilarious-unofficial-theme-song-1791777963

    So @mountain_goats and I were joking around, one thing led to another, he recorded this song and now it’s canon.

    This just in - the German translation, which had to choose between singular or plural last Jedi, went for plural.

    But basically, this could still mean that the original title is happily ambiguous; and who knows, I wouldn't put it past German translators to make stuff up on their own. I still don't know if "Stardust" was changed into "Little Star" simply because someone thought "Stardust" wasn't a good nickname for a child.

    So did the Brazilian one. Like, day the movie name came out they used singular, then retracted the name and started using the English one instead, and the new one today pluralized it.
