Star Wars: Director Settles Who the Last Jedi Is

"In my mind, it's singular. In my mind it is."

Star Wars: The Last Jedi writer-director Rian Johnson says "the last Jedi" of the title is singular not plural and, to him, refers strictly to Luke Skywalker.

"It's so funny when people started asking that," Johnson told ABC News while promoting The Last Jedi at this past weekend's Star Wars Celebration. "I had never even pondered that question."

Johnson added, "In my mind, it's singular. In my mind it is. ... As to whether Luke is the 'Last Jedi,' they say in The Force Awakens he's going to find the last Jedi temple and Luke is the last Jedi."
