The Last Jedi

http://deadline.com/2017/01/star-wars-t ... 201892311/

I like the title, but remember guys Jedi plural is Jedi so it may not necessarily mean one

fine by me.
As for plural or not, well I guess that'll be out once the international variants of the title are released, where there are different articles for singular and plural :P

IIIIIN Fact you would even be able to tell if they're referring to Luke or Rey, given Jedi does have a female article there, too :D

Fun fact, would they have gone with the classic Star Wars nomenclature they'd have called it "(The) Last of the Jedi" :D

I think it probably means Luke as in "we found the last Jedi, that we were looking for last film."

The French, Italian and Spanish titles are plural as well. So extra confirmed.

First of all, i love the precuels, and of course the originals (ep5 is my fav).
Ep 7 trailers was cool...but i dind't like the movie.

Well, it's teaser. If I remember the TFA one showed us even less, so I'm satisfied, but not blown away. No doubt we'll see more in the coming months.

I'm most glad to see a actual space battle, some new designs and fighters other than X-Wing/TIE Fighters.

Funny how ppl are already raging again over a few seconds of actual footage. It's times like these when I think I'm the only sensible person on this rock.

I like the look of the new A-wing, wonder how the Y-wing and B-wing have evolved, or if the B-wing will FINALLY have its day onscreen in this trilogy. I'd be gawking hard over that. I was always annoyed how they were not able to show them in battle in ROTJ.

So far I see what looks like a fleet of "frigates" and what looks like podracers. Well if nothing else, the space battles will hopefully be cool. We're owed one after The Force Awakens.

Those Frigates kinda look like they addapted some characteristics of both the Nebulon B2 and the Hammerhead.
Nice to see more of the old RMQ designs are being implemented, same with Rebels Season 4, where they actually added those early designs for those somewhat spherical space stations.

The irony is there really WASN'T a need to design "new" versions of either the X-wing OR A-wing. Just look at real life; the F-15 and F-16 are around 40 years old, and very little has changed in their external appearance. Almost all their improvements have been internal.

Kinda would have preferred had they just gone the EU route of continuing the T-65 and RZ-1, while introducing completely new designs such as the E-wing alongside them.

I agree for the most part. I think the T-70 X-wing made sense both in-universe, but also provided fans with a cool new design. On the other hand, I want to see totally new ships alongside them.

For the fun of it, my ideal flight roster for the Resistance/NR would have been:
T-70 X-wing
E-Wing
An updated B-Wing
An updated A-wing
K-Wing

Sadly, the First Order fighters entirely disappointed me. Simple TIE Fighters with an antenna and turret was not good enough. I'd have preferred them to have modified TIE Interceptors as standard superiority fighter in addition to more advanced ships like the Avenger or Scimitar.

I agree, the New Order TIE Fighter didn't impress me at all either.

And we didn't see nearly enough of the Star Destroyers.

And the Resistance fleet? The New Republic had plenty of time to build up a huge fleet, the resistance only had a bunch of X-wings to spare like it was the Battle of Yavin again?

Rogue One gave what TFA did not.
