Great title, but I really hope it's just referring to Luke and not ending the entire Jedi order.
Agree with this. Also like the Bendu and Whills ideas floated around.I really don't think Luke was ever a Jedi. He was really trained by Yoda and Kenobi in a vacuum, with any knowledge on a need to know basis.
They realized how wrong the Jedi were (and this is incredibly clear on the clone wars) and how, in many ways, that didn't deserve to win

I had a similar thought when I heard the title. Luke is not REALLY a Jedi. He's not indoctrinated in all their dogma, he's not carrying the baggage of the "midichlorian era" of the Jedi order. Had he been born a quarter century earlier he would have been, but I don't think he's really a Jedi. I think he's something more.I really don't think Luke was ever a Jedi.

I LOVE the title.
It's ominous.
And I think it suggests major change. Change which I welcome, frankly.
I would not mind if, for example, the Jedi do indeed die out in this film...but are replaced by something newer and more vital. Something more about balance than about what the Jedi of old were about. (At least as depicted in the prequels, where they seemed more about ascetic denial of emotion, which ultimately came at their own expense.)

What if "The Last Jedi" isn't referring to Luke?
...
It would be interesting to see the flip side of this and find out why the dark side of the force is a way some choose to follow and what sort of things they get from it. All we know is they use it to do bad, but as we've seen in Kylo Ren, there's also some conflict happening. I think there's a lot more to him that people criticize and it will get more interesting.
This.
I get the feeling that a big underlying concept in this new trilogy is that the Jedi is just a particular religion (and the Sith too, for that matter). These organized religions are not the only way to go about being a Force user/believer/etc.
Look at how they were seeding the idea in Rogue One with that blind Asian dude. He wasn't a Jedi but he was into the Force.
What if Snoke is Vader's butler from Rogue One?
