While Star Wars: Episode VIII’s official title of The Last Jedi has been widely accepted by fans, the true meaning is still unclear. Does it refer to Rey? Luke? Rey AND Luke? Someone else entirely? While some cast members have given their thoughts on the title, The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams has finally come forward to reveal what The Last Jedi actually means. SPOILERS AHEAD.

In a recent interview with our cousin site, Sci-Faux Magazine, J.J. Abrams was asked if he knew who the last Jedi was and he had this to say.

“Well, it’s no longer my mystery box, so here’s a spoiler. Rey was always the last Jedi. Luke was dead all along during The Force Awakens. His appearance at the end was a Force ghost. That’s why Rey had visions of him throughout the film. Luke had been guiding her the whole time.”

When pressed for more info, Abrams changed the subject to panini presses, so we will speculate from here.

Does this mean that Rey is the last Jedi because she’s the sole survivor of Luke’s Jedi group who were massacred by the Knights of Ren? We think this will be the case.

But how and when did Luke die? We don’t know but all the answers will be revealed soon enough! Come on December!
