The Last Jedi — alternate titles

It was recently announced that Star Wars Episode VIII would be titled (subtitled? sub-subtitled?) The Last Jedi. Given the quality of recent installments in the franchise, and the return of both Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher (whose scenes were all shot before she passed away), there’s plenty to be excited about.

Even better, we at BrianDBuckley.com can now exclusively reveal this list of alternate titles for Episode VIII, all of which were very close contenders for the final name.
