In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
yeah im not too keen on the name
maybe itll be a grower
maybe itll be a grower
Underwhelming name.
...must just be me that likes it.
Same here. Sounds great to me.
I like it... seems ominous & hopefully will be ESB type darker film where the Sith do well.
Disney have done well so far with the movies. I have high hopes for this one.
If I'm not wrong, there used to be a novel series for young kids called 'The Last of the Jedi'. I remember thinking that was a nice name and wouldn't have minded a similar series for adults.
However, the removal of the 'of the' from the title makes it seem a whole lot less epic and nostalgic imo.

Awesome name. Little odd for the middle film in a trilogy though.
so does that mean Luke and Leia will be killed off leaving Rey as the last
Love it.
The red seems indicative of the Sith. Has Skywalker turned?

How are they going to blow up the death star this time?
All their titles are relevant something in their respective films though (shocking, i know).
The plural for Jedi, is Jedi. So not necessarily.
Or Luke has given up his right to the title, and lives a life down the centre. Neither Jedi nor sith?
I'm guessing Luke will die. Maybe an Obi Wan type moment from ANH where he trains Rey for a bit, gets into a battle & accepts his fate?
Will be interesting what they do with Leia. Apparently she was going to be in Episode 9 but now they've said they won't CGI Carrie Fisher so this must be the end for her too.

Leia to be a suicide bomber
The name doesn't really bother me.
Return of the Jedi to the Last Jedi in 2 films! That's careless stuff.
Would work. They've already got someone called Ackbar, to be fair...
I like the name, surprised so many are feeling "meh" about it. Its just a title after all 
Anyway, im wondering how real life events affect this. I hope it doesnt ruin it too much though.

so the sith finally win by getting rid of the jedi ?
Interesting that Star Wars has a red stroke... the other films are either silver or yellow.
No, there's one left. Keep up!
Think it just means that the film is about Luke. Remember that not all force uers are Jedi, the Jedi is an order of force users that one must be accepted into and trained. At this time neither Leia nor Rey are Jedi. I like the title though.
I hope to god they don't rip off any more stuff. Is it that hard to make new things?
Luke wont die. I do think he'll be fecked up though, nothing like the Luke in RotJ. It will help the film swerve away from the Yoda mirror in ESB.
Luke won't die imo. Jedi can be plural can't it? It could mean Luke and Rey.
Plot twist, first scene has Luke whip out a red lightsaber.
Plot twist, first scene has Luke pull of a mask to reveal it's actually Jar Jar Binks.
Darth Jar Jar Binks, to use his proper title.
Leia's already been killed off.
Lovely..can't wait for December now. The title definitely suggests it's about luke.
Jedi something and I am sold..
Jedi is plural... That title could actually mean all sorts of stuff.
I reckon I can write a note perfect review of it right now.
It'll be slightly less of an identikit Star Wars than the last Star Wars (not counting this years Star Wars, which was less Star Wars than your average Star Wars, whilst still thoroughly Star Wars) but still Star Wars enough to be fittingly Star Wars, in a "darker second Star Wars in a Star Wars trilogy" kind of way, to be labelled the "best Star Wars ever!" for the first month of release, before being eventually reappraised as "better than average Star Wars" once everyone realises just how generically Star Wars it actually is, in the grand scheme of Star Wars.
In summary, a respectable Star Wars/10.

Whenever you post in a Star Wars thread, I imagine you having this guy's voice
She needs to search her feelings, she knows it to be true.
So what you're saying is a planet blows up because of the firepower of 3 hataks ? A dozen hataks couldn't even dent an ori ship and our 304 destroyed the same ori ship with 2-3 shots with our uber asgard beams.
Classic.
