''The Last Jedi'' [[note]]Also known as ''Star Wars - Episode VIII: The Last Jedi''[[/note]] is the sequel to ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' and the tenth ''Franchise/StarWars'' film overall. It will be directed and written by Creator/RianJohnson. Creator/JohnWilliams will return to compose music for the film.

The movie chronicles the continuing efforts of the Resistance (alongside the remnants of the New Republic) to destroy the First Order now that full-scale war has broken out. Meanwhile, a new effort to restore the new generation of Jedi is set into motion.

Most of the lead cast from ''The Force Awakens'' are confirmed to return, including Creator/DaisyRidley, Creator/JohnBoyega, Creator/OscarIsaac, Creator/MarkHamill, Peter Mayhew, Creator/AnthonyDaniels, Creator/LupitaNyongo, Creator/AdamDriver, Creator/AndySerkis, Creator/DomhnallGleeson, and Creator/GwendolineChristie. Jimmy Vee will be replacing Kenny Baker as the primary R2-D2 actor, and both Tim Rose and Mike Quinn will be returning as Admiral Ackbar and Nien Nunb respectively. New additions to the cast include Creator/BenicioDelToro, Creator/LauraDern, and newcomer Kelly Marie Tran. Creator/WarwickDavis will also have a role.

''Star Wars'' Episode VIII is slated for a December 15, 2017 release date. Early filming began briefly in September 2015 for a sequence in Ireland--specifically, Skellig Michael, where the previous movie's last scene took place. Filming began properly in February 2016, with Croatia as a shooting location.

Episode VIII will be the final ''Star Wars'' film to feature Creator/CarrieFisher as Leia due to her death in late 2016. Thankfully, filming was completed several months beforehand.

!The movie provides examples of:
* AscendedExtra:
** Captain Phasma's role in the film has been confirmed to be expanded upon.
** Lieutenant Connix will apparently have a larger role as well.
* AnotherSideAnotherStory: Downplayed. One scene shows the meeting between Rey and Luke from the end of ''The Force Awakens'' from Luke's perspective, whereas the last film showed it from Rey's.
* CostumeEvolution: Kylo Ren's costume will evolve and apparently include a [[BadassCape cape]]. It is not entirely clear if it will resemble that of his grandfather (Darth Vader) or if he actually procured one of Vader’s capes that probably fell into the hands of collectors in the galaxy.
* DarkerAndEdgier: According to Finn's actor John Boyega.
-->'''Boyega:''' The script is great. Much darker, but we’re very excited.
* HeadInTheSandManagement: The New Republic was operating under this principle in regards to how they dealt with the First Order (treating the organization as a WindmillPolitical issue). However, after the destruction of the Hosnian system (their capital at the time) and the outright declaration of war that came with it, it's possible that the remaining systems of the New Republic will be NeutralNoLonger and will send what's left of their other fleets (as the main fleet was taken out along with the Hosnian System) to assist the Resistance.
* ImmediateSequel: Director Rian Johnson confirmed the movie will pick up right after the end of ''The Force Awakens''. This is in contrast to the other films in the series, which were always separated by a TimeSkip:
** I-II: 10 years (32 BBY--22 BBY).
** II-III: 3 years (22 BBY--19 BBY).
** III-IV: 19 years (19 BBY--0 ABY).
** IV-V: 3 years (0 ABY--3 ABY).
** V-VI: 1 year (3 ABY--4 ABY).
** VI-VII: 30 years (4 ABY--34 ABY).
** VII-VIII: A few minutes (34 ABY).
