You might recall how at the start of 2017, the title for Star Wars Episode VIII was revealed to be The Last Jedi.
Well now that the first official trailer for the new film has been released (check out our trailer breakdown), people are once again speculating about whether the title refers to Luke Skywalker or to his protege Rey.
Among the speculation, Vanity Fair retweeted an article they published back in May in which they interviewed Kathleen Kennedy and Rian Johnson about the title and the pair were decidedly ambiguous.
Good luck getting Kathleen Kennedy & @RianJohnson to explain what #TheLastJedi means. We tried—here’s what they said https://t.co/IJRch5ed40

In response to the retweet, Johnson rather epically said:
It’s Luke.

Tweeters have expressed their delight/characteristically smart alec responses to the 'reveal':
