Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker

Is it confirmed that Hamill returns as Skywalker? It doesn't seem to be mentioned in the announcement. Only that he is in the cast. Not especially serious, just that his character is supposedly dead. Alaney2k (talk) 22:55, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Being dead isn't a show stopper in the context of the Star Wars universe. GimliDotNet (talk) 18:19, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Skywalker saga

So we seem to have avoided the use of the term "Skywalker saga" in the leads of all the original and prequel trilogy articles, as well as The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. Myself and others have continuously reverted the many IPs who have added "the final installment of the Skywalker saga" to this article, even though some sources describe it as such. The wording was recently added again by an actual registered editor, UpdateNerd, who has contributed to many Star Wars articles, so I thought it was time to open a discussion about its use here. I personally think it reads a little fanboyish, since I don't believe the series is thought of as "the Skywalker saga" in the mainstream. I wouldn't mind, however, something in the Development section establishing that this film has been described as "the final installment of the Skywalker saga", with some context for non-fan readers about what this means. Thanks.— TAnthony^Talk 16:24, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

I'm all for avoiding it in the lead, except maybe within a note to help explain what is meant by "the main Star Wars film franchise". I think it mostly makes sense to use in context, such as Star Wars#Standalone films, where it's used to distinguish the anthology from the main series. UpdateNerd (talk) 18:06, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Protection

In my opinion it's time to give this article semi-protected edit status since it gets vandalized or pointlessly adjusted on a near-daily basis by unregistered users. Anyone else? UpdateNerd (talk) 06:47, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Adding every character not in this film

Taking this to the talk page for discussion for a hope to avoid an edit war because surely we can not keep adding characters to the current films that are not in that production - in this case Episode 9?

"The late" should not be used and adding both Han Solo & Darth Vader constantly to the article is simply excessive clutter and both are currently (until we learn the plot) irrelevant to the article.

The only time Han Solo should be mentioned is the article in the cast list regarding Kylo Ren.

In the line for Lando Calrissian - Solo is gone and the only characters in the film that know of him are Luke, Leia, Chewbacca, C3PO & R2D2.

Adding The grandson / grandfather info to the cast list about Darth Vader is excessive as he died back in Episode 6 and now we are on 9.

Any responses on this subject would be welcome.

Regards

THANK YOU for opening this discussion. I totally agree that namedropping Han and Darth Vader constantly through the cast list is unnecessary clutter. Also, we don't refer to real-world people as "the late XX" in our biographical articles, so we should not do so for fictional characters. Thanks.— TAnthony^Talk 15:17, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

For future reference, is there a MOS guideline saying that we shouldn't "the late" when referring to the deceased? To me it seems to depend on the context. UpdateNerd (talk) 00:05, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi, otherwise there would be literally millions of Wikipedia articles all starting with the late" and fictional or not it is not really relevant.

Juanpumpchump (talk) 07:34, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Ha, I was certainly not implying it should always accompany the name of anyone who has died. It depends on the context. UpdateNerd (talk) 07:50, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi, cool, I was not looking at starting either an online argument or an edit war so please don't take any offence to my previous reversions.

However, on the Todd Fishers reversions, which fisher died she was not married and legally meant that all decisions regarding Carrie Fisher's remains and her estate unless their was was Will or Lasting Power of Attorney by law immediately fall to her daughter Billie.

So in that case is there any way that the article (with your input) could be reworded?

Juanpumpchump (talk) 08:16, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

I don't take anything as an argument; I just can't help but respond to conversations on my watchlist. :) As far as the Billie Lourd rewording, I think the current version actually reflects your interpretation of events. While I'm not an expert of law (and a posting a source supporting your claim here would be welcome), I just made sure to attribute the revealing to Todd, and the legal action to Fisher's daughter. Does it seem to look right in the article now? UpdateNerd (talk) 09:28, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Rey - The Last Pupil of Luke Skwyalker

The article states that Rey is the last pupil of Luke Skywalker. This is verifiably false. Kylo Ren was trained under the tutoriage of Luke Skywalker as mentioned in both the prior two films. Additionally in The Last Jedi Luke references "a handful of students" who went away with Kylo who's fate is unknown however they very well could be alive making Rey not only the second last pupil of Luke but also perhaps not even that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.50.136.96 (talk) 15:41, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

I'm confused by your logic; I think last is meant to mean the last one before Luke "died", not the last remaining pupil alive.— TAnthony^Talk 19:31, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

New title

The new film title is not sourced now. This should be done soon before before people try to back to Star Wars: Episode IX. Thanks. -Fnlayson (talk) 17:19, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
