The INSIDER Summary
• Disney revealed the name of "Star Wars: Episode VIII" will be "The Last Jedi."
• Fans were immediately startled by an ominous red font in the title's logo.
• This isn't the first time we've seen a red "Star Wars" logo.
• There's a lot of speculation about what the ominous color may mean for Luke Skywalker in the sequel.
Disney dropped huge news Monday morning for "Star Wars" fans. The title of the eighth movie will be "The Last Jedi."
While fans are reacting and speculating about what the title could mean, there's one thing in particular that stood out — the red font of the "Star Wars" logo.
Usually, the "Star Wars" logo is prominently yellow.
Here's "The Force Awakens" logo:
It's driving fans nuts.
Red font? What does it mean? #EpisodeVIII#thelastjedi#everyoneisevil

It looks like Disney has only released an English version of the logo so far. For potential spoilers' sake, it may stay that way. Here's how the title was revealed on the German "Star Wars" Twitter account:
But, it's not the first time we've seen a red "Star Wars" logo.
Don't freak out completely.

While many may be quick to think the title simply refers to Luke Skywalker, who very well could be the last Jedi, fans should remember that Jedi can be singular or plural. Perhaps the title is referring to both Luke and Rey, and possibly others.
Jedi is both singular and plural. So this title could have multiple meanings. That makes it even more intriguing. And that red color...

If #TheLastJedi is singular than I suspect 1 of 2 things:
1. Luke will die.
2. Luke turns Sith/breaks up with the force O_O

Just occurred to me that #TheLastJedi is totally @rianjohnson's stealth tribute to "The Last Starfighter." Death Star out, Death Blossom in.

Luke Trains Rey
Luke Dies
Rey becomes The Last Jedi

If it's called #TheLastJedi, my honest and bold prediction is that Luke Skywalker has to die. Thank you, I'll be here all week

you: luke is gonna die in ep 8 making rey the last jedi :/
me, an intellectual: 'jedi' can be plural
— THE 👏 LAST 👏 JEDI (@twicepinks) January 23, 2017What does it all mean? Well, we can't be sure yet.
We do know there's a 2013 "Star Wars" book that was released with the same name, but I doubt the film will be a direct adaptation. I would keep your eyes peeled for a teaser trailer soon now that we've had the title unveiled. How does Super Bowl Sunday sound?
