1) “It’s Time For The Jedi To End”
Now, here’s the bit that will really get fans talking. After a classic Star Wars space battle, the trailer then goes back to the beginning with Luke on Ahch-To. It’s here where he makes his shocking admission: “It is time for the Jedi… to end.”
First of all, this explains where the title comes from, but it also raises the question of what exactly Luke means. It could simply mean that he feels the Jedi’s days are numbered, so it’s sadly now their time. More likely, though, it seems that Luke is saying that the Jedi should end. We can guess that, after what happened to his father and the tragic turn of his nephew Ben, Luke has lost faith in the Jedi.
It’s sad to think that Luke, who once wanted to become a Jedi more than anything, has now become so disillusioned with the order that he thinks the galaxy would be better without them. Perhaps his arc in Star Wars: The Last Jedi will see his belief in the light reinvigorated by mentoring Rey though? Just in time for him to die and become one with the Force? We’ll have to wait and see…
