Ever since Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released in theaters, there has been rampant speculation from fans of the franchise regarding what the title and direction of the next installment is going to be.
[UPDATE: It turns out DeviantArt user “MrSteiners” guessed the title for Star Wars: Episode VIII even further back than Reddit user Trumundo – all the way in 2015, as it were.]
With an ominous title and sinister dark red font, this seems to simultaneously confirm the rumored dark tone that writer/director Rian Johnson is going for with the next Star Wars installment.
Already, The Last Jedi‘s title reveal and teaser poster has led to another round of speculation and rumors from fans regarding its meaning and the film’s plot.
