Like George Lucas before him, Johnson says he drew inspiration for The Last Jedi from both World War II and Samurai movies, specifically Three Outlaw Samurai and 12 O’Clock High. Like most Star Wars directors, Johnson says he’s a major Star Wars fan, and that one of his earliest memories is of his dad taking him to see the first Star Wars movie in theaters. His past filmography has demonstrated a great grasp of themes and characters that make him an excellent choice for a Star Wars movie. Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi is written and directed by Rian Johnson, who’s most well known for writing and directing Brick, a twist on the hardboiled noir detective genre set in a high school, and Looper, a time-bending story about an assassin who’s hired to kill an older version of himself. The chances that it's not referring to a character from The Force Awakens are slim to none, but with little to work with but the title, there’s still a lot of room for speculation. Even more out of left field, however unlikely, there’s a chance it could be Kanan Jarrus or Ezra Bridger from Star Wars Rebels, or a brand new character. The word Jedi is the same in both its singular and plural form, so it could be referring to any combination of Luke, Rey, and maybe even Kylo Ren. Of course, the title doesn’t have to be about Luke exclusively, or at all. It makes sense that the title could revolve around him, since he was almost entirely absent from Episode VII, and most of the franchise’s question marks have to do with what he’s been up to and why he went missing.
He was explicitly referred to as the last Jedi by both Yoda in Return of the Jedi and by the opening crawl of The Force Awakens.
This title could have any number of meanings, but the most obvious is in reference to Luke Skywalker. The official subtitle for Star Wars: Episode VIII is The Last Jedi.
