Star Wars Episode VIII Title Revealed

Star Wars Episode VIII is called the Last Jedi.

I think this is a very poor title in many ways. Firstly I just don't like the title on its on and it sounds like fan fiction, in my opinion.

The main reason why I don't like the title is its similarity to Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. I can just imagine how many people are going to get these titles messed up. Some people struggle as it is. Especially after Return of the Jedi is only two stories behind the Last Jedi, in-universely speaking. Also the original trilogy fans can no longer refer to Return of the Jedi as simply Jedi. Before these fans would refer to Episode 4 as "Original", "Star Wars" or "Hope" depending on how much they can take the Special Edition changes. Episode 5 is referred too as "Empire" and six is "Jedi". Until this title there has been no repeat of any words other than that of "of" and "the" in the Star Wars titles. This is upsetting. I've looked around and not a lot of people dislike this title so I can't see it changing.

Well there we go Episode VIII's title is The Last Jedi
