Star Wars: Episode VIII title and poster revealed

By AI Creative Media

The sequel to the massively successful 2015 film Star Wars: The Force Awakens finally has a title: Star Wars: The Last Jedi; Disney has just announced on Monday alongside a new poster.

“We have the greatest fans in this or any other galaxy. In appreciation of the fans, we wanted them to be the first to know the title of the next chapter in the Skywalker saga: STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI,” the company said in a statement on the official Star Wars website.

And with the reveal of the title comes the teaser poster, which features the logo in red, not the classic yellow the world has known for decades. No one knows at this point what this means if nothing at all but a teaser. We may have to wait for the first trailer to get some answers.

The film stars Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Adam Driver, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie, and Andy Serkis. The Last Jedi will also be the late Carrie Fisher’s final film, who died late 2016 on Dec.27. Fisher played General Leia.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi, written and directed by Rian Johnson, will hit theaters on December 15, 2017.
