Star Wars VIII: The Search For More Money has a new title

And it is The Last Jedi.

Because that's not officially the dumbest Star Wars title ever.

Not like titles matter. Let's be honest. You'd watch a movie called Milking the Money Tree: A Star Wars Story. 

Now, the "last" Jedi refers to Luke, right? We've been over this. Ma-Rey Sue tapped into the dark side to defeat Clueless Ren. She has great innate dark side energy because she is, obviously, Palpatine's granddaughter. So if Disney had any stones whatsoever, VIII would see her be tempted by her past, as Luke was, and unlike Luke, she'd fall.

Of course, if Disney had any stones whatsoever, VII wouldn't have been a shameless rehash of IV. On the flip side, Rogue One did end the way it did...

No, that's not what's going to happen. Luke's going to die, very sad. Rey will be the Last Jedi, all light and incorruptible pure pureness. Clueless Ren will stomp around and Pathetic Boy-Tarkin will continue to be pathetic, and guys you cannot make good movies without good villains. 

The main series is f*cked because its villains are awful. I hold out hope for the anthology films. Even if they are all Milking the Money Tree: A Star Wars Story.

Post-Craig Review: Dr. No

 Back to the very beginning. This is a lie. "The beginning" would surely be a review of Ian Fleming's 1953 novel Casino Royale...
