Star Wars 8: Who exactly IS The Last Jedi? Answer CONFIRMED here?
THE identity of the titular Last Jedi of Star Wars: Episode 8 appears to have been settled once and for all.
All signs had initially pointed to Luke Skywalker - and he was even referred to as the last Jedi in the opening crawl of Episode 7 - but still debate raged.
At one point there was even a question as to whether the word Jedi was singular or plural.
However, a poster on Reddit has uncovered the answer on the back of an official toy box.
The text on the packaging reads: “At long last, Rey has found Luke Skywalker, the last Jedi Master in the galaxy.

“Hoping to find a hero of legend, she must unlearn what she has learned as Skywalker challenges her expectations.”
The person who posted the box to Instagram, @swrogue507, wrote: “The text in The Back of the Rey Figure Box, said the last Jedi is Luke.”
So it appears to be settled - Luke is the Last Jedi.
But will it stay that way, or will he train Rey up enough to carry the baton?

It was also allegedly leaked earlier today what exactly Maz Kanata’s role in Episode 8 is.
