Star Wars-ing: Episode VIII Title and Celebration News

Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi.

Some organizations, like EW, have stated that the the title is an ominous one. First, Star Wars is in red, the color of the dark side.  It also assumes that Jedi here is used in the singular.  It also assumes that the middle episode is always the darkest episode.

However, Jedi is also the plural form of the word.  That can provide a glimmer of hope.

Anyway, without a trailer everything is speculation.  I’m guessing Star Wars will follow the playbook of The Force Awakens and debut the trailer during Star Wars Celebration.

Speaking of Star Wars Celebration, there has been a few tidbits released on their website.   Pins can be bought at the celebration store.  Select exhibitors will have some pins as well.

Again, Star Wars Celebration will have a tattoo pavilion.  One year, we saw a fan get Mark Hamill to sign her calf.  She then went to the tattoo booth and had that signature made permanent.  The tattoo page can be found here.

The Star Wars Art Show artists have been announced.  The list of the artists can be found here.

Nerd Nite Speed Dating will be held at Celebration this year.
