    I like the simplicity, and there is a sadness to it. And red logo makes it darker.

    ROTJ used a red font too. I assume it's a reference to that.

    I hope this title refers to Jedi in the plural - Luke & Rey and/or surviving students coming out of the woodwork - rather than the whittling down of the lineage to just Rey, or the transformation of the Jedi into something else. The Jedi can grow and change, but I'd like them to remain Jedi.

    Calling it...

    Makes sense if this is the kind of tone they're going for in each film.

    7 = neutral ending
    8 = dark ending
    9 = happy ending

    Since red is the color of the dark side, and blue is generally considered the color of the light side, with yellow being the color of general Force users, it kind of works.

    I choose to believe that EVERYONE involved in all 3 of these films are not all completely daft. We can cast aspersions about an individual or 2 but EVERYONE has been steering the entire sequel trilogy toward one goal: The search for Luke Skywalker and (in the words of the series' villain) "the new Jedi shall rise". Seeing the new Jedi rise ON SCREEN has been the telegraphed endgame of all of this up to this point. Yes, one or two people involved may arguably not know what they were doing, but I find it physically impossible to believe that ALL of them have been steering this entire trilogy toward the singular goal of Luke and the Jedi returning only to have Episode IX be titled "Nah. You Know What? Mission Abort".

    I like how tragic its implications are. Not the biggest fan of the word "Jedi" being used again in a title, especially not long after ROTJ, but I'll get over it.

    One thing this title does seem to indicate is that we will be seeing more of the mysticism of the Force, which has been a tenant of the ST since George mentioned it in interviews in the 70s/80s. I'm excited to see that seed finally brought to fruition!

    But Lucas used red for ROTJ's logo:

    I do agree though that Episode IX most likely now will be blue.

    so ROTJ now is all about Anakin's redemption since the Jedi didn't make a real return until the ST. And even in the ST, only Rey and Luke doesn't mean the Jedi returned since it's the same thing as the OT where there was only 2 Jedi at a time and they never returned. Get a minimum of a 3rd person and the Jedi will finally return.:p

    Lol, as I admitted this is probably due to my OCD that I'm freaking out. I just need to have it sink in for awhile.

    Unimaginative, repetitive and pattern breaking.

    There'd better be more trilogies after this one or I'll just view it as a fanmade extension.

    I just realized there's another big blockbuster movie premiering this year with a very similar title.... maybe even TOO similar...

    Well, considering the title, that 4chan "leak" about the content of 40 min out of first one hour is now looking way more likely. I do expect that "Jedi" story takes at least 60% of the movie.[face_dancing]

    Also, they are making up for Luke's cameo in TFA, aren't they? ;)

    I also appreciate how this series has been less and less and less shy about its own nerdier aspects in its announcing itself to general audiences. Empires striking back and new hopes rising are one thing but it is kinda marvelous just how unabashed this series has steadily become at just dropping nerdterms like "Sith", The Force" and "Jedi" all over their adverts. It started with RotJ and has only magnified over the years. Glorious.
